Shu-Ha-Ri is frequently used as a good model that shows how we adopt new skills. The general idea is pretty simple. First, we just follow the rules. We don’t ask how the thing works, we just do the basic training. That’s Shu level. Then we move to understanding what we are doing. Instead of simply following the rules we try to grasp why the stuff we’re doing works and why the bigger whole was structured the way it was.

As you may have heard, PMI is changing up the details of their Continuing Certification Requirements. This is the program that classifies how you earn your 60 PDUs to maintain your certification. The general process isn’t changing; there are just new limitations in the different categories. It varies per certification, but I’ll focus on PMP. […] The post PMI’s Updated Requirements for PDUs appeared first on PMP Certification Exam Prep & Training - Velociteach.

I argued against multitasking a number of times. In fact, not that long ago I argued against it in the context of portfolio management too. Let me have another take on this from a different perspective. Let’s talk about how much we pay for introducing too many concurrent initiatives in our portfolios. I won’t differentiate here between product and project portfolios because for the sake of this discussion it doesn’t matter that much.
