How to Transition from Public Safety to Project Management

Transitioning to Project Management
Transitioning to Project Management

Are you thinking of transitioning to the Project Management career field? I’m posting about ‘PPP53: You’re a Project Manager, and You Don’t Even Know I‘ as I released the podcast episode, but I didn’t post here about it when it came out in October 2020. This episode will help listeners learn how to transition to Project Management. To do this, I use examples of how I cross-mapped my Public Safety and All-Hazards Incident Management skills to those of Project Management as I prepared to take the Project Management Professional (PMP) exam in 2019.

Experience to PM Cross mapping Examples

  • Re-writing an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) -> Working with stakeholders
  • Coordinating annual Emergency Medical System (EMS) “Shift Bid” -> data-driven decision making
  • Creating and delivering Active Threat Training for over 700 First Responders -> coordinating multi-disciplinary teams
Mapping previous experience into Project Management

Thank you for reading How to Transition from Public Safety to Project Management and for listening to the episode PPP53: You’re a Project Manager, and You Don’t Even Know It.
