- [Instructor] Wow, I can't believe we're at the end
of the course.
Well, you totally crushed it,
but I'm sure you're wondering, how do I keep learning?
Well, here's some tips for you
so you can take this knowledge
and keep using it to your advantage.
Number one, ask for more projects.
That's going to give you the ability to have
to manage these projects.
Now, I also want you to try to use these metrics.
Actually, it can be really hard to figure out
what the earned value and the plan value are,
because that data is not always immediately available.
Sometimes we have to make assumptions
and use models to back into it.
But I want you to try your best
to use earned value management metrics when you can.
And on top of that, I want you to create your own metrics,
so you are not beholden to everything
that the Project Management Institute
tells you you have to track.
In addition to tracking the metrics
of earned value management,
I also want you to track other project management metrics
that would be important to you
and important to stakeholders.
I think that we are too obsessed with the KPIs
that the industry sets,
so here's a great chance for you to create your own.
And then finally, if you want to do more of this type
of work in Excel, check out my book "Dashboards for Excel".
You can find it on Amazon.
Well, where can you find me?
Obviously you can find me on LinkedIn,
so make sure to go ahead and click on my face icon,
follow my profile, and stop by and say hi.
Also, I'm on Instagram, I'm a digital nomad.
If you want to find out what I do in my digital nomad life,
check me out @jordangoldmeier.
And then finally, I'm the author of four books,
"Dashboards for Excel", "Advance Excel Essentials",
"Becoming a Data Head" and "Data Smart".
These books are all for analysts who love working with data
and want to make better decisions,
want to improve their work, improve their performance,
and get a promotion.
Alright, well thank you so much for watching my course.
Don't be a stranger, stop by and say hi.
And until the next time, keep on excelling.
