Are you a project manager who is tired of going through the motions or tired of experiencing small pay raises with little or no career advancement? Want to take control of your career and your life? It will be an adventure, but a very rewarding one.
With you go from zero to certified in just 5 days. Yes... 5 days. Train, test, pass. Oh, and guaranteed to pass. I can't make this stuff up.
Cheetah Learning is not like the other training and certification programs or organizations. What they give you is more of a full life plan. It will seriously change the way you live in other aspects of your life. You will find yourself approaching, planning, living and succeeding differently than you ever have before. You won't be Superman, but you will accomplish more in a more efficient and effective manner and you will see it as it's happening - and others will, too.
Remember "Be like Mike" from the 80's? That, of course, was Michael Jordan. Now it will be "Be like Jeff" or "Be Like Nancy" or whatever everyone calls you. You will be changed. Trust me. Success will carryover to other parts of your life.
But don't just take my word for it. See for yourself - you won't be sorry. And it's guaranteed... remember. Cheetah wants you, to want them. And you should.

DevOps and automation is growing and great reporting is critical for getting the maximum value out of the investment in automation to know what’s really going on and ensure that any issues are uncovered and actioned quickly.
Regression and historical trend data allows teams to quickly identify when issues were introduced. With all build and test case logs, screen captures, files and artifacts are all in one place, productivity is vastly improved and all team members gain greater awareness of the technical health and status of the project.
Meetime
Are you tired of those useless, never ending meetings? Have you had a terrible meeting today? You are not alone, but there is a better way. MeeTime is a beautiful timer app to make meetings less soul-crushing.
Employees are wasting up to 2 years of their lives sitting in useless meetings and no wonder as three-quarters of people have never received any formal training on how to conduct a meeting. Bad meetings are getting a lot of press recently with Elon Musk recently telling his employees to walk out of unproductive meetings and Samsung is incorporating meeting timers as a push towards a work smart culture. MeeTime was conceived as a simple way to help people run meetings more effectively.

MeeTime starts automatically, helps you keep your meetings on track and makes it easier than ever to finish on time. Should things not go to plan, the “Auto time remaining” setting automatically apportions over/under-runs across the remainder of the agenda.
“This is a great, great idea and it has massive potential. I truly believe that this has got great potential to help a large number of people!” ~ Chris Bateman, Global Senior Manager, World Class Supply Chain, Molson Coors Europe.
MeeTime is already being used by employees in big organisations including Goldman Sachs, Rolls Royce, Nielsen, Hewlett Packard, DXC and Molson Coors, among others. It can work for your organisation too and for less than a cup of coffee you don’t need to save much time to get a return on your investment. Why not give it a try?
