Transitional knowledge is codified through the use of authoritative sources like PMI, DAU and other veterans who have successfully transitioned into project management in the career field. This book provides a method for personal change and surviving the transition from the service into the civilian sectors. In addition to authoritative project management information, The Transitioning Military Project Managers also contains success stories, self-evaluation, personal assessments, and Personal Strategic Roadmap development; also providing guidance for the newcomer to the civil service environment and its associated challenges.
