Episode Details

Most people think passing the CAPM® certification is about finding the perfect study guide, watching more videos, or taking endless practice exams.

The truth is that success starts with building a learning system.

In today's episode, I share the PLAN-Q Learning System, the exact framework I wish someone had taught me before I started pursuing project management certifications.
