Congratulations to Linda Fiorenzano, PMP, on being selected our Passionate Project Manager of the Month for January!

A project manager for more than ten years, Linda Fiorenzano recently earned her PMP credential and is planning to pursue the Risk Management Professional next.

Professionally, Linda leads large scale Enterprise-wide projects that require software/technology implementations for financial institutions and manufacturing companies.

Personally, she runs her life like a project - from planning a wedding to completing the Christmas shopping.

PPM: What makes you a passionate project manager?

I believe in the process and, more importantly, the value of planning, executing, and monitoring a group of activities. I believe in the pursuit of excellence. Project Management concepts resonate with me both professionally and personally.

PPM: What has been your greatest lesson learned in project management?

Identifying Lessons Learned is, by far, the greatest Lesson Learned! Recording, reviewing, and incorporating lessons learned and best practices from each project to the next is the greatest step in the pursuit of excellence.

What would be your top recommendations for someone preparing for the PMP?

Enroll in the relevant Passionate Project Management Exam Prep class! I had not taken a test since earning my MBA fourteen years ago! The Exam Prep class not only provides you the concepts you need to know but, more importantly, prepares you for taking the exam. Belinda is the best instructor I've ever had - seriously!

What class did you take from Passionate Project Management?

PMP / CAPM Exam Prep.
[Author's note: Linda also just completed the PPM PMI-RMP (Risk Management) boot camp

Why did you choose Passionate Project Management?

Highly Recommended by PMI.

Tell us something special / unique about you personally:

I am writing a memoir and it comes as no surprise that I am incorporating the Project Management Framework to accomplish my defined goal on time and within budget. Writing and Project Management are my passions and I want to ensure I can continue to enjoy both of these in my career/life.
