People. Process. Progress.

Have you ever had a great mentor that helped you get to where you are?  Are you in a position to now mentor others? In this episode my friend Trevor and I talk about his transition from mentee to mentor and his personal and professional evolution as a college student and intern, to a credentialed Type 3 All-Hazards Planning Section Chief and now as a sworn Police Officer.

Trevor's "Between the Slides 5" we discuss in this episode:

* Actively seek training to improve yourself

* Stay humble

* Choose your battles

* Learn from those around you

* Learn to control the things you can and understand the things you can't

After I took the required classes I was observed on many occasions working at the Unit level and in the Planning Section Chief (PSC) position.  This observation was documented in a "task book" and is a great process that allows a more seasoned PSC to observe, provide comment and eventually credential new Plans Chiefs. In my $.02 a key difference between the PSC task book and the process for submitting Project Manager experience for the PMP exam is the task book provides a built in mentoring tool.

In this episode I share how similar criteria and processes could be used to credential Project Managers. Below are the high level areas I discuss in more detail in this episode:

* PSC Requirement: Competency in subordinate positions -> PM Requirement: Competency as Scheduler and Coordinator

* PSC Requirement: Competency to assume PSC role     -> PM Requirement: Experience and readiness to take on PM for project

* PSC Requirement: Ability to lead assigned personnel    -> PM Requirement: Ability to facilitate teamwork and processes

* PSC Requirement: Ability to communicate effectively   -> PM Requirement: Ability to facilitate project reporting and comms

* PSC Requirement: Align assignments with objectives    -> PM Requirement: Validate task alignment with scope, budget and schedule

To be credentialed on an All-Hazards Incident Management Team (IMT) you have to have a "taskbook" signed off through observation and practical application. What if Project Managers did too?
