I am a Software Developer by profession with over 8 years experience developing and customizing various types of software systems. I have also worked on Government projects ranging from social program development projects to construction projects. My training is in Electrical Engineering at the undergraduate level and Project Management at the graduate level. My work experience has mainly been within projects and I have seen first hand how easily projects can go off course eventually leading to failure. This experience and my passion for continual improvement are what drives me to learn about various project management philosophies such as AGILE. I really did enjoy the Agile PrepCast and I look forward to more offerings as I advance to Program, Portfolio and Risk Management.
I was born and raised in Toronto Canada and lived here most of my life- except for attending undergrad and Business School. I've worked in Software since my first job as a developer. I've been in project management ever since I completed my MBA-usually working as a Software PM, mainly working in the digital industry. I passed my Project Management Professional (PMP)® first try in 2013 and the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)® on the first try in 2018. I used The Agile PrepCast to prepare for the PMI-ACP® exam.

I’m João Beltrão and I’m an IT Project Manager. I work and live in Lisbon, Portugal, and I’ve also lived in Oporto and Marinha Grande, also in Portugal. I started my career in the middle of the dot-com boom back in 1997 to 2001, by creating my own dot-com company with some friends. We won the entrepreneur of the year award in 1999 and we got a sizable investment from the biggest company in Portugal at the time. That was one of the most rewarding and exhilarating times of my life, and it built a solid foundation of the project and team management for what was to come ahead in my work life.
I have been working in the Aerospace and Defense industry for about 8 years now as an Account Manager. Though my official title up till now was not Project Manager, the work I did definitely was. I have always believed in the Three P's when it comes to working: People, Process, and Product in that exact order and it has served me well. Working with cross-functional teams is something I enjoy and being able to work towards a common goal is always a great experience. I spent a good portion of my life traveling and have lived in Thailand and Japan prior to coming back to the states to start my professional career 10 years ago. The Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification has been the best investment so far in my professional career and I look forward to the new doors and challenges it will open up.
Many people come to me saying that certifications are useless and they don't add a value other than looking nice on the resume or a promotion or a pay hike. My Name is Swapnil Khole. I am a Project Management Professional (PMP)®, PSM, ITIL and ISTQB certified. For the past 7 years, I am managing projects. I am in the software profession. To top on the benefits about certifications I mentioned above, I can debate endlessly how to use these certifications in your daily life. These exams have been put forward by highly individual people and they have thought what would make your life simpler as a manager, developer, tester, builder et all if you do "these certain things".
I am a Civil Engineer with a Masters' degree and three years of construction experience in Dubai. I started developing interest in Project Management while working and decided that this is the field I see myself at long-term. I recently moved from Dubai to Toronto and I was thinking that there would be nothing better than having a reputable international certificate such as the Project Management Professional (PMP)® to show to potential employers to highlight my skills and that's why I pursued the certificate.
I have around 12 years of experience in the IT sector spanning various domains like banking, HR and pharmaceuticals. I have been managing teams and projects for around 4+years. I have been on a break for some time now and I am planning to get back into the workforce. I found Project Management Professional (PMP)® to be a very good start to get back to work and hence took the test. I love challenges and love the satisfaction that I get when a tough job is completed with success. So clearing PMP was one such challenge which has helped me gather confidence and helped me learn many new things which can be imbibed in our daily work.

I am a Petroleum seismic Geophysicist that has worked in computer oil reservoir modeling and have over 25 years international project management experience but did not have the Project Management Professional (PMP)® designation, so I decided to take a year back to graduate school, and registered in the Durham College, Ontario, Canada, Project Management Postgraduate Certificate, and then registered in the PrepCast exam course to study for the exam.
I've been a Project Manager for 15 years. Prior to studying for the PMP, I only knew what I knew by 'doing' and learning PM best practices from my mentor, John Wells. I did Google 'everything.'
I've been an Instructor at Arizona State University since 2003. I teach Project Management and Technical Writing courses. I'm also an IT Project Manager. I needed my PMP to be fully credible in both arenas, and the PM jobs in Atlanta were suddenly including an additional requirement, PMP certification. I have always enjoyed the process of learning, and my greatest weapon to slay the test was the PM Exam Simulator, as well as others who were studying and who were so supportive. The first 6 months of taking the PM Exam Simulator quizzes, I was earning 40 to 60%. When I started getting 70's, I took the exam but failed it. Not to worry. It's worth failing it in order to know what to expect the second time you sit for 4 hours! The last 3 months of taking quizzes, I was consistently in the 80+% range, I knew I could pass the test.
