Chambers welcomes Valerie Williams, a project management professional with approximately 20 years of experience in IT, project leadership, Agile, and AI. Valerie shares her passion for helping professionals build confidence, understand Agile principles, and apply project management techniques to real-world situations.

IN THIS EPISODE, AMANDA AND VALERIE DISCUSS: • Why Agile is valuable for projects of every size • What to expect from Valerie's three-day, 21-hour PMI-ACP® certification training • How interactive exercises, group discussions, and real-world scenarios make learning practical • Why Agile's people-centered approach makes it so effective • Using Kanban boards, value stream mapping, and other Agile techniques • Building confidence through hands-on learning • Leading AI projects from business strategy to implementation • How organizations can approach AI through Agile practices, data, and build-versus-buy decisions • Preparing for PMI certification exams and choosing a testing environment Valerie believes that great training should do more than prepare you for an exam. It should give you the confidence, knowledge, and practical tools to apply what you learn.
