How to apply your Project Management theoretical knowledge

Question

I have been a project management team member and recently gained my PMP Certification. I feel overwhelmed by all of the tools and techniques listed in the PMBOK Guide, I need guidance. 

Thank you.

Answer 1

Like any good professional, an effective PM has a deep and wide toolkit but knows which tools to use in what situations.

Context counts which are why domain expertise is valued along with PM hard & soft skills competency.

I'd suggest finding yourself an (in person) mentor in the company where you currently work as they can coach you in the use of the right tools in the right contexts.
