    So customer centric basically means project outcomes and deliverables are focused on the end user, his or her experience and their needs. Whilst Business centric, means it's more focused on business outcomes such productivity, efficiency, quality, revenue increase and so on.

    Basically when one or more of the following takes place:
    -The project is sequential and needs to follow one phase after the other
    -Requirements are set in stone, fixed scope
    -It is long term project, likely to take at least a year or more
    -You’re in a rigid environment that needs lots of documentation
    -You can’t do multiples things in parallel or at the same time, you need to finish something first before starting the next (e.g. you can build anything until you have tested first)

    Ask yourself questions to determine whether the characteristics of the project fit an Agile project. For example, does the customer want to be involved in the development process and have input along the way? Is the customer willing to receive an initial product quickly and then enhanced versions over time? Is the delivery time frame a short one, a year tops? Or is it more of a multi-year project, very complex, very formal, bureaucratic, etc.? And so on. You get the picture. When you put the project to the test with these type of questions (and others you can think of), you will be able to answer yourself whether the project is suitable for Agile or not. Trust your instinct, trust what you have learned.

    On the top Menu you can find a PM Certification which includes many templates, freebies and other resources. Alternatively, you can also Google it or I guess hope someone else from this community has one that they can share with you.

    Hi Bernard, there are plenty of job opportunities for PMs out there. A simple Google Search can showcase thousands of results. Same goes for LinkedIn or any of the many job sites around the world. If you’re looking to work from your home country for another country that will be harder, but not impossible. Just look for working remotely options.

    Alternatively, you can also explore PM job opportunities on sites such as Freelancer.com, Airtasker, etc.

    Yes of course. But don't rely only on a Certification to get a job. Continue your life-long learning journey, put into practice what you have learnt, volunteer and start leading projects. Experience is as if not more valuable than any Certification.

    They are different “branches” or “specialties” of the same discipline. As an analogy, think of a Project Manager like a GP (General Practitioner or Doctor), so a generalist in the field of medicine. Then you have specialists such as for example a dermatologist or a cardiologist. A dermatologist would be like your IT Project Manager and your Technical Project Manager, they are two different specialties, but they are still Project Managers. Kind of like both the dermatologist and cardiologist are also doctors.

     

    A “Technical Project Manager” is a Project Manager specialized in anything technical which could be for example Electrical or IT. IT stands for Information Technology or simply technology, which again is just one of the many fields in which a Project Manager can specialize. But to your point, there is a ton of confusion around this because people sometimes use “Technical Project Manager” and “IT Project Manager” interchangeably as if they were the same thing, which they are not. An IT Project Manager could be considered a Technical Project Manager, but so could be an Electrical Project Manager. Hope this helps and clarifies. Cheers!
