- The goal for the LinkedIn Learning certifications was to learn about Microsoft Project 2016 and to learn about design thinking. During the Microsoft Project certification, I was able to learn about the many features that the software has that can help you manage products in different ways. I learned how to set up different tasks, including recurring tasks, and how to show resources’ availability and cost. Using Microsoft Project was a realistic experience when it comes to creating a project. It allows for the linking of tasks and assigning resources to those tasks. Finally, I learned about scheduling and the importance of keeping tasks within the allotted time and budget. During the Design Thinking certification, I learned the definition of design thinking which is a user-centric way of problem solving. It is similar to what I learned in MIS 3535 about being agile and using the scrum methodology. Design thinking is a collaborative effort, so the certification taught me how to be a design thinking leader and the different skills required to do so, such as setting goals and managing different types of people and creating synergies off of these distinct styles.
