The TSMO community is in a great need for a Body of Knowledge resource and a certification program to establish a standard for the practice. Something similar to the PMI, PMP and PMBoK.

The academy is not for everyone, you need to approach it with the mindset that it’s more than any training exercise you’ve done in the past. This program will force you to look inside yourself as well as your organization to find the hurdles you need to overcome. You will meet people from across the […]
