AgilePM, etc. Certifications
You seem to be fixed on PRINCE2 Agile. Unless you work in places where PRINCE2 is the de facto standard delivery framework and there is a drive to more agility *under prince2*, then I am not sure how practical this course will be for you. In some ways PRINCE2 Agile has come a little too late...- Peter Loew

AgilePM, etc. Certifications
As a new PM I think don't bother doing additional qualifications right now. You've got your Prince2, now get some experience. Come back after 5 years or so and start beefing up your qualifications with which will probably be AgilePM v3 or v4, refined CSM and no doubt scaling agile frameworks...- Peter Loew

AgilePM, etc. Certifications
Since I posted I am now a certified AgilePM Practitioner, CSM and certified in Lean Kanban. Did I need these? No, but I wanted to do them out of professional interest and to keep aligned with the market. P- Peter Loew

Want to buy a broom cupboard in London, how to borrow the £££
Doesn't have to be a 40k house, but there are some nice properties in semi-decent areas to be had. I've seen solid flats in private developments that would make a good investment. Mortgage, if you're going that way, will be easy - BTL interest only and you could put a high deposit down, let's...- Peter Loew

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_2 - there's a route diagram on that link. Yes, it will take around a decade to build, however the head office is already built and they either have or will soon confirm that the works have begun. It's a longer game, but this is the kind of early bird...- Peter Loew

Buying around the HS2 link should boost growth as commutes into London will be 'doable'. Depends what your goal is too, cash flow vs equity?- Peter Loew

Why don't you take 100k and buy 3 or 4 sub 100k properties in the north with a high yield.. get the cash flow coming in and bank on (slower than London) equity growth over the next few years- Peter Loew

AgilePM, etc. Certifications
The last certification I did was PRINCE2 > 5 years ago, which means it's now expired. I have since worked as a Senior PM and Programme Manager in mixed agile (Scrum / Kanban mostly) and waterfall environments. I've led transformational projects and instigated portfolio-wide changes to agile...- Peter Loew

FAO PM's - do you give a crap if a non-PM has or doesn't have PRINCE2?
I wonder how much longer PRINCE2 can actually survive without becoming completely irrelevant. People usually associate PRINCE2 with Waterfall when it comes to software based projects. More so though, I think PRINCE2 shows that you have an understanding of what a formal project delivery...- Peter Loew

Hitting a brick wall...how do I break through this?
How many years of experience do you have and does your CV read in a project-oriented way? Sounds like your issue might be your indecisive CV and you're possibly being shadowed out by more experienced contract PMs. Also consider that there is an initiative to move the PMO and the portfolio level...- Peter Loew
