The “Accidental” Project Manager and Project-Based Work

One of my colleagues and I were recently discussing how most people get their start in project management.  She was a formally-trained and certified Project Management Professional (PMP), while I am what would be called an "accidental" project manager.  I started by managing projects as part of my responsibilities, although we didn’t call them projects at that time.

With that in mind, I thought it might be interesting to see how all of you got your start.  I’ve put together a short (only four questions) poll to see where the rest of us stand.  I have an opinion, which I won’t share until after we see the results.
