Your internal project manager does not need a PMP certification (Project Management Professional) in order to use the Framework. The Framework can be effectively used by a non technical, non-IT person who has never managed an AMS, LMS, or Website implementation project, as long as they have the following skills:
- Enthusiastic eagerness about learning the best practices involved in selecting and/or implementing an AMS, LMS, or Website.
- Broad knowledge of the association’s operations and strategic objectives.
- Communication skills, both written and verbal. Pays attention to details.
- Willingness to follow a step-by-step methodology that puts “ownership” of the project in the hands of the users and stakeholders rather than in an IT person or department.
- Experience working with staff at all levels. Comfortable working with cross-functional teams.
- Experience using MS Office applications.
