What qualifies as project management experience?
If you need to collect a certain number of hours to qualify for a project management certification, chances are, they’re right under your nose.
The Project Management Institute (PMI) Project Management Professional (PMP)® course for example, defines project management experience as any work which falls under the 5 PMP project management phases including: Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing. That’s a lot of categories, which means even if your job title isn’t ‘project manager’ you’ve probably taken on jobs that qualify as project management experience.
