Lessons Learned

Today I met one of my friends and he told me that he saw my blog and he tried to leave comment but he can't because there is many restrictions to write a comment , this was a good and bad surprise for me , the good thing that now only I come to know why there are very few comments in my blog and the bad thing is I discovered that many of people tried to write comments but they can't because of this restriction.
The first think I did once I open my blog is to remove this restriction in order to open for the comments.

This what we call it in Project Management " Lessons Learned" , when you make a blog try to remove this restriction form the comment setting.

All my best wishes

PMI Kuwait Yahoo Group

Five years back when I started the coaching and training business I was trying always to contact my trainees before, during and after the course in order to give them a real value and also to trace what is the course impact in their professional and personnel life and I consider this as important as the course itself. My Aim is to move the training industry one step ahead and focus more on the trainees himself more than the material or the class or anything else.
The Real value of Project Management Training coming from the best practice and sharing knowledge between practitioners.

For all my Project management courses I initiate a group for only my trainees called PMIkuwait@yahoogroups.com, I'm trying to make a small and closed community in order to help my trainees to master the Project Management knowledge and also give a chance to all of them to know and help each other to become a project management gurus , learn from others, announce my new free workshops and seminars, share templates and Q&A, try to help our friends to solve their problems and so on .
I'm thinking now to open the group for others in order to increase the contribution under one condition which is we will be very selective in adding a new member.

PMP Certification is not a pre-requesit for PgMP Certification

PMP is not a pre-requesit for PgMP

Many of my friends called me and they say that they want to get the PgMP certification because it is more suitable for them than PMP since they are managing programs (Group of Projects) not only one project at a time but they don't want to apply for PgMP unless they become first PMP.

This is wrong because you can be PgMP regardless you are PMP or not and there are many PgMP certified they are not PMP oreginaly and they go ahead with PgMP since it is sutable for them.

I'll start deliver my PgMP training course in Kuwait next week.
