Hi all,
This is aimed specifically at those working with a project management function, preferabally those using PRINCE2...
I'm currently working within a fairly technical infrastructure role, which has both project and support elements, although the emphasis is on project work which I enjoy both the management aspect and the 'doing'.
I'm thinking about moving into a more focussed project management role soon having recently completed my PRINCE2 foundation and considering self funding the practioner qualification.
Unfortunately the position I'm in is that although I demonstrate most of the key competencies of a proj manager on a daily basis, I haven't got the experience working within a formal PM function which I think is what employers are essentially looking for.
Is the practioner qualification worth doing in my situation? I'm hoping it may make up for the fact that I'm missing dedicated experience working as a PM.
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated from those working in this field. Cheers
