Celebrating 17 Years on LinkedIn

??????????????? Today I’ve received a notification that I am celebrating 17 years on LinkedIn. Immediately the memories start flooding back. As a business and economics major, I loved LinkedIn because it was the business social media. I could always network with other like minded people. That networking resulted in my landing several certification training opportunities and numerous other positions.

I have written over 400 LinkedIn Pulse articles; 123 LinkedIn newsletters and have received LinkedIn Top Cloud Computing community voice honors. I am just happy to help as many people as possible and learn from each of you. Once again, thank you for being a part of my LinkedIn connections and journey! Connect with me here.

Last week Friday, the Project Management Institute (PMI) changed its Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP) exam requirements. PMI says that these changes align with the changing agile industry. This is a big deal since the PMI-ACP is one of the oldest and most recognizable agile certifications.
