2023 is off to a great start. I’m very excited to share that I passed my PMP exam over the weekend! The above target overall result was the cherry on top. This is a major milestone that I set my sights on in the fall and it feels so good to be on this side of it. After zeroing in on key concepts and following a rigorous 2-month study schedule, I felt as ready as I could be. I also want to thank Kevin D. Davis for his project management insight.
