 My old job title was “project manager”, and the only training i ever got was one grab bag o stuff AMA class. Mostly it was, there is an engineering project that needs to get done, get it done. I felt fancier being called an PM rather than X engineer though.

In regards to PMI certs, is there any value in getting a CAPM vs maybe trying to finangle my way in to sitting for the PMP? I have over 5 years on my resume of being called as such, but now that i no longer work there trying to recreate project timelines for all the stuff i did, would be woefully incomplete.

Does anyone have a recommendation on a tool I can use to do "what if" schedules for a project?

E.G. I know the amount of work that needs to be done, but I need to see what the dates would look like with 2 resources, 3, 4, 5, etc..

I'm sure MSProject can do this, but is there anything 'lighter'?

Bwahahahahaha resources, get a load of this guy. Next thing you know you’ll want teams of people to work (big complicated expensive project.)

Ha resources.

Why yes I’m a bitter project manager why do you ask.
