Completed PMP - What next

Question

Having completed the PMP training I have applied to the exam, once I have this under my belt should I move onto another course or focus on honing my craft and building my network?  

Any advice welcome please?

Answer 1

Let your career goals and personal interests drive your professional development.

Formal training and certifications should only be 10% of your development efforts.

The remaining 90% would occur through relationship (e.g. mentoring) and experiential (e.g. hands-on work) learning.

If you have a particular interest in a specific topic (e.g. program management, agile, risk management) then, do some formal training to learn the basics, but then get out there and apply what you've learned.

All the best!
