How do you study when your own project is failing?
Quote from Jonathan Kunz on April 20, 2026, 8:40 amI am a project manager at my job and I am trying to get my certification. The irony is, the big project I am leading at work is a complete disaster right now. We are behind schedule, over budget, and my team is so stressed. How am I supposed to study for an exam about best practices when my own real life project is falling apart? It feels so hypocritical. I started looking for PMP exam help because I am just too drained from my day job to teach myself at night. Does anyone else struggle with this?
