John Paul (JP) has been a PMP since 2000. I moved from the private sector to the public sector in 2001 when I moved to Ottawa to join the federal government. I gained experience in progressively larger IM/IT projects from 2001 to 2015. Since 2015 I have worked on construction projects for Public Services & Procurement Canada managing larger projects. Over the years I have certified in Prince2, Scrum (a scrum master and as product owner), Change Management (Prosci certified) and in Managing Successful Programs (MSP) in addition to my PMP. I look forward to giving back to the project management community through the PMI mentoring program and am on my 3rd cycle with the PMIOVOC mentoring program.
