Widget html #1, model pembelajaran creative problem solving (cps).

Model pembelajaran Creative Problem Solving (CPS) adalah suatu metode pembelajaran yang pemusatannya tertuju pada keterampilan pemecahan masalah melalui teknik sistematik dalam mengorganisasian gagasan-gagasan kreatif. Siswa tidak hanya diajarkan cara menghafal tanpa berpikir, namun dituntut untuk memilih dan mengembangkan suatu tanggapan untuk memperluas proses berpikir.

Model Pembelajaran Creative Problem Solving

Creative problem solving merupakan teknik pembelajaran dalam penyelesaian suatu permasalahan berkaitan dengan pemecahan masalah yang melalui teknik sistematik dan mengorganisasikan gagasan kreatif. Melalui model pembelajaran creative problem solving, siswa dapat memilih dan mengembangkan ide dan pemikirannya. Munculnya solusi kreatif sebagai upaya pemecahan masalah akan menumbuhkan kepercayaan diri, keberanian menyampaikan pendapat, berpikir devergen, dan fleksibel dalam upaya pemecahan masalah.

Creative problem solving dibangun atas tiga macam komponen, yaitu; ketekunan, masalah dan tantangan. Komponen tersebut dapat diimplementasikan secara sistematik dengan berbagai komponen pembelajaran. Model pembelajaran creative problem solving berusaha mengembangkan pemikiran divergen, berusaha mencapai berbagai alternatif dalam memecahkan suatu masalah.

Berikut definisi dan pengertian model pembelajaran creative problem solving dari beberapa sumber buku: 

  • Menurut Shoimin (2014), creative problem solving adalah model pembelajaran yang pemusatannya pada pengajaran dan keterampilan dalam memecahkan masalah. Ketika dihadapkan dengan suatu pernyataan, siswa dapat melakukan keterampilan dalam memecahkan masalah untuk memilih dan mengembangkan tanggapannya. Tidak hanya dengan cara menghafal tanpa berpikir, keterampilan memecahkan masalah dapat memperluas proses berpikir. 
  • Menurut Baharudin (2010), creative problem solving adalah variasi dari pembelajaran dengan pemecahan masalah melalui teknik sistematik dalam mengorganisasikan gagasan kreatif untuk menyelesaikan suatu permasalahan.
  • Menurut Cahyono (2009), creative problem solving adalah suatu metode pembelajaran yang melakukan pemusatan pada pengajaran dan ketrampilan memecahkan masalah, yang diikuti dengan penguatan ketrampilan.

Karakteristik Model Pembelajaran Creative Problem Solving 

Menurut Imam (2010), model pembelajaran creative problem solving memiliki tiga karakteristik yang menjadi prosedur dalam proses pembelajarannya, yaitu sebagai berikut: 

  • Menemukan fakta, melibatkan penggambaran masalah, mengumpulkan, dan meneliti data dan informasi yang bersangkutan. 
  • Menentukan gagasan, berkaitan dengan memunculkan dan memodifikasi gagasan tentang strategi pemecahan masalah. 
  • Menemukan solusi, yaitu proses evaluasi sebagai puncak pemecahan masalah.

Menurut Menurut Suryosubroto (2009), karakteristik dari model pembelajaran creative problem solving adalah sebagai berikut: 

  • Melatih siswa untuk berpikir divergen dalam memecahkan masalah dengan berbagai cara, mampu memberikan berbagai alternatif pemecahan atas sebuah masalah dan kemampuan mengemukakan berbagai gagasan baru, dengan cara-cara baru yang jarang dilakukan oleh orang lain.
  • Peran pendidik lebih banyak menempatkan diri sebagai fasilitator, motivator dan dinamisator belajar bagi peserta didik.

Tujuan Metode Creative Problem Solving 

Menurut Shoimin (2014), melalui model pembelajaran creative problem solving siswa diharapkan mampu:

  • Menyatakan urutan langkah-langkah pemecahan masalah dalam creative problem solving. 
  • Menemukan kemungkinan-kemungkinan strategi pembelajaran.
  • Mengevaluasi dan menyeleksi kemungkinan-kemungkinan tersebut kaitannya dengan kriteria-kriteria yang ada. 
  • Memilih suatu pilihan solusi yang optimal. 
  • Mengembangkan suatu rencana dalam mengimplementasikan strategi pemecahan masalah. 
  • Mengartikulasikan bagaimana creative problem solving dapat digunakan dalam berbagai bidang/situasi.

Langkah-langkah Model Pembelajaran Creative Problem Solving 

Menurut Huda (2013), sintak atau tahapan proses dalam model pembelajaran Creative Problem Solving menurut model Osborn-Parnes dikenal dengan istilah OFPISA, yaitu Objective, Finding, Fact Finding, Idea Finding, Solution Finding, dan Acceptence Finding. Adapun penjelasannya adalah sebagai berikut:

a. Objective Finding 

Siswa dibagi ke dalam kelompok-kelompok. Siswa mendiskusikan situasi permasalahan yang diajukan guru dan membrainstroming sejumlah tujuan atau sasaran yang bisa digunakan untuk kerja kreatif mereka. Sepanjang proses ini siswa diharapkan bisa membuat suatu konsensus tentang sasaran yang hendak dicapai kelompoknya.

b. Fact Finding 

Siswa membrainstroming semua fakta yang mungkin berkaitan dengan sasaran tersebut. Guru mendaftar setiap perspektif yang dihasilkan oleh siswa. Guru memberi waktu kepada siswa untuk berefleksi tentang fakta-fakta apa saja yang menurut mereka paling relevan dengan sasaran dan solusi permasalahan.

c. Problem Finding 

Salah satu aspek terpenting dari kreativitas adalah mendefinisikan kembali perihal permasalahan agar siswa bisa lebih dekat dengan masalah sehingga memungkinkannya untuk menemukan solusi yang lebih jelas. Salah satu teknik yang bisa digunakan adalah membrainstroming beragam cara yang mungkin dilakukan untuk semakin memperjelas sebuah masalah.

d. Idea Finding 

Pada langkah ini, gagasan-gagasan siswa didaftar agar siswa bisa melihat kemungkinan menjadi solusi atas situasi permasalahan. Ini merupakan langkah brainstorming yang sangat penting. Setiap usaha siswa harus diapresiasi sedemikian rupa dengan penulisan setiap gagasan, tidak peduli seberapa relevan gagasan tersebut akan menjadi solusi. Setelah gagasan-gagasan terkumpul, cobalah meluangkan beberapa saat untuk menyortir mana gagasan yang potensial dan yang tidak potensial sebagai solusi. Tekniknya adalah evaluasi cepat atas gagasan-gagasan tersebut untuk menghasilkan hasil sortir gagasan yang sekiranya bisa menjadi pertimbangan solusi lebih lanjut.

e. Solution Finding 

Pada tahap ini, gagasan-gagasan yang memiliki potensi terbesar dievaluasi bersama. Salah satu caranya adalah dengan membrainstroming kriteria-kriteria yang dapat menentukan seperti apa solusi yang terbaik itu seharusnya. Kriteria ini dievaluasi hingga ia menghasilkan penilaian yang final atas gagasan yang pantas menjadi solusi atas situasi permasalahan.

f. Acceptance Finding 

Pada tahap ini, siswa mulai mempertimbangkan isu-isu nyata dengan cara berpikir yang sudah mulai berubah. Siswa diharapkan sudah memiliki cara baru untuk menyelesaikan berbagai masalah secara kreatif. Gagasan-gagasan mereka diharapkan sudah bisa digunakan tidak hanya untuk menyelesaikan masalah, tetapi juga untuk mencapai kesuksesan.

Kelebihan dan Kekurangan Model Pembelajaran Creative Problem Solving 

Setiap model pembelajaran pada umumnya memiliki kelebihan dan kekurangan masing-masing begitu juga dengan model pembelajaran creative problem solving. Menurut Istarani dan Ridwan (2014), kelebihan dan kekurangan creative problem solving adalah sebagai berikut:

Tertarik untuk menggunakan metode Creative Problem Solving? Ikuti langkah-langkah dalam Creative Problem-Solving Learner’s Model berikut ini.

Saat ini Creative Problem Solving bisa menjadi salah satu metode yang dipakai dalam menyelesaikan masalah ( problem solving ) di perusahan atau suatu usaha. Pendekatan Creative Problem Solving dipakai saat kita ingin menemukan ide penyelesaian masalah yang kreatif dan inovatif.

Dari berbagai teknik dengan pendekatan CPS, ada satu teknik yang masih sering dipakai yaitu pendekatan yang diciptakan oleh Alex Osborn dan Sid Parnes yang sering disebut dengan CPS Learner’s Model.

Pendekatan CPS Learner’s Model terdiri dari 4 (empat) tahap dan meliputi 6 (enam) langkah proses. Berikut ini adalah uraian lengkap CPS Learner’s Model:

creative problem solving meliputi 4 langkah yaitu

Stage 1: Klarifikasi

Tahap klarifikasi adalah tahap pertama yang akan dilakukan. Ada tiga kegiatan utama dalam tahap ini, yaitu mendefinisi tujuan, mengumpulkan data dan merumuskan permasalahan yang akan dihadapi.

Bersama team, kamu akan mendefinisikan tujuan, keinginan dan tantangan yang akan dihadapi berdasarkan data dan fakta. Oleh karena itu, pada tahap pengumpulan data, kamu harus melakukannya dengan sebaik-baiknya. Ini berguna untuk membangun visi terhadap masalah berdasarkan data, bukan asal berasumsi saja.

Pada tahap ini, kamu mengumpulkan challenge (atau masalah) yang sedang dihadapi. Kumpulkan semua permasalahan ini lewat proses survei atau monitor langsung di lapangan.

Misalnya dalam contoh kasus penjualan produk yang turun, kamu dan team akan melibatkan customer sebagai subjek dan produk sebagai objek. Kamu akan menggali fakta dari para pengguna produk tersebut untuk mendapatkan informasi tentang kekurangan produk yang dimaksud. Perumusan masalah ini juga bisa didapatkan dari perbandingan. Misalnya dengan membandingkan dua produk dari brand yang berbedda. Dari situ kita juga bisa mendapatkan informasi tentang kekurangan dan kelebihan suatu produk.

Stage 2: Ideasi atau Pengumpulan Ide

Sesuai dengan namanya, kini saatnya untuk mengumpulkan ide penyelesaian masalah. Proses ini adalah untuk menggali sebanyak mungkin ide yang mungkin bisa dipakai. Bersama team, kamu akan diminta untuk mengeluarkan ide sebanyak mungkin. Ide-ide kreatif dan inovatif ini akan dikumpulkan sebagai bahan pertimbangan nanti.

Bisa jadi, kemungkinan masih akan keluar ide yang biasa-biasa saja alias konvensional. Tetapi hal ini juga akan memacu kamu dan team untuk berusaha mengeluarkan ide baru yang lebih kreatif dan inovatif. Di sini kamu akan diminta untuk mengerahkan semua kreativitas yang ada!

Ada 2 teknik yang bisa dipakai dalam tahap ini, yaitu brainstorming dan mind mapping. Tahap ini juga sering disebut dengan tahap berpikir secara divergen, di mana kita akan mengeluarkan semua ide dan pikiran, dan baru akan difilter kemudian. Jadi semua ide dianggap sama, tak ada yang benar atau salah.

Stage 3: Develop (Pengembangan)

Pada tahap develop (pengembangan), kita akan memulai untuk memformulasikan solusi. Setelah tahap pengumpulan ide selesai, maka kita akan mulai fokus untuk mengevaluasi semua pilihan yang ada untuk mencipakan solusi.

Kita akan mulai menganalisis apakah solusi tersebut sesuai dengan kebutuhan atau kriteria. Dan juga, apakah bisa diimplementasikan atau tidak. Di sini kita juga akan memikirkan cara memmbuat ide untjk mejadi lebih bagus dan menentukan ide yang paling cocok untuk dipakai dalam menyelesaikan masalah.

Pada stage ini kita akan mulai memikir step yang akan dilakukan sesuai dengan kebutuhan, apa saja yang harus ditambahkan. Dengan berfokus pada cara berpikir konvergen (mulai fokus pada hal yang spesifik atau mengerucutkan proses), maka kita akan mulai mengolah ide-ide yang dipilih hingga menjadi sebuah konsep.

Stage 4: Implementasi

Setelah kita sudah memilih ide yang paling cocok dan mengembangkan konsepnya, kini saatnya untuk mengeksekusi.

Kita akan mulai membuat action plan, yaitu tahapan implementasi yang akan dilakukan. Pada tahap ini, sangat penting untuk mendata semua sumber daya yang kita miliki dan bagaimana mengoptimalisasikannya. Selain itu kamu akan mulai mengkomunikasikan rencana pelaksanaan kepada siapa saja yang terlibat di dalamnnya. Koordinasikan dengan seluruh anggota team, pastikan mereka semua sudah paham dan menyetujui langkah yang akan diambil.

Perlu kamu ketahui juga, tak ada solusi yang sempurna. Semuanya memiliki risiko dan konsekuensinya masing-masing. Untuk mengantisipasi jika terjadi hal-hal yang di luar keinginan, ada baiknya jika kamu dan team juga menyiapkan plan B atau rencana cadangan yang bisa dipersiapakan dari mulai tahap develop (pengembangan).

Kita sering dihadapkan dengan masalah dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Entah itu dalam pekerjaan, hubungan pribadi, atau belajar di sekolah. Masalah ini bisa membuat kita stres dan pusing kepala. Namun, tenang saja! Ada sebuah metode pembelajaran yang bisa membantu kita menemukan solusi dengan cara yang santai dan kreatif. Metode ini dikenal dengan sebutan Creative Problem Solving.

Creative Problem Solving (CPS) merupakan pendekatan yang digunakan untuk mengatasi masalah secara inovatif dan kreatif. Metode ini melibatkan langkah-langkah sistematik yang membuka pikiran kita untuk berpikir di luar kotak dan menemukan solusi yang tak terduga.

Langkah pertama dalam metode CPS adalah mengidentifikasi masalah dengan jelas. Kita harus merumuskan masalah secara spesifik agar fokus saat mencari solusi tidak terpecah. Misalnya, jika masalah kita adalah sulitnya mengatur waktu untuk belajar, maka kita bisa merumuskan masalah sebagai “Bagaimana cara mengatur waktu belajar yang efektif?”

Setelah masalah teridentifikasi, langkah berikutnya adalah analisis. Kita perlu menganalisis akar penyebab masalah tersebut. Apa yang membuat kita sulit mengatur waktu belajar? Adakah faktor eksternal seperti gangguan dari lingkungan sekitar, atau faktor internal seperti kurangnya motivasi? Dengan menganalisis penyebab masalah, kita bisa mencari solusi yang lebih efektif.

Setelah itu, kita masuk ke tahap generasi ide. Di sini, kita perlu melibatkan pikiran kreatif kita. Cobalah untuk berpikir di luar kotak dan temukan solusi yang tak terduga. Misalnya, jika kita sulit fokus karena gangguan lingkungan, mungkin solusinya adalah mencari tempat yang tenang untuk belajar, atau menggunakan headphone untuk mengurangi gangguan suara.

Setelah menghasilkan ide-ide, kita perlu melakukan evaluasi. Kita perlu mengevaluasi setiap ide yang muncul berdasarkan kelayakan dan kemungkinan berhasilnya. Buang ide yang terlalu tidak realistis atau tidak sesuai dengan masalah yang ingin kita selesaikan. Pilih ide yang paling menjanjikan atau bisa memberikan solusi yang paling efektif.

Terakhir, kita melangkah ke tahap implementasi. Ide yang terpilih perlu diimplementasikan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Buatlah jadwal belajar yang efektif dan sesuai dengan waktu yang kita miliki. Berikan diri kita motivasi tambahan agar tetap konsisten dalam menjalankan jadwal tersebut.

Metode pembelajaran Creative Problem Solving bisa menjadi alat yang efektif untuk mengatasi berbagai masalah dalam kehidupan kita. Dengan pendekatan yang santai dan kreatif, kita bisa menemukan solusi-solusi yang tak terduga. Jadi, tidak perlu stres lagi saat dihadapkan dengan masalah. Coba aplikasikan metode ini dan temukan solusi dengan cara yang menyenangkan!

What Is Creative Problem-Solving & Why Is It Important?

Business team using creative problem-solving

  • 01 Feb 2022

One of the biggest hindrances to innovation is complacency—it can be more comfortable to do what you know than venture into the unknown. Business leaders can overcome this barrier by mobilizing creative team members and providing space to innovate.

There are several tools you can use to encourage creativity in the workplace. Creative problem-solving is one of them, which facilitates the development of innovative solutions to difficult problems.

Here’s an overview of creative problem-solving and why it’s important in business.

Access your free e-book today.

What Is Creative Problem-Solving?

Research is necessary when solving a problem. But there are situations where a problem’s specific cause is difficult to pinpoint. This can occur when there’s not enough time to narrow down the problem’s source or there are differing opinions about its root cause.

In such cases, you can use creative problem-solving , which allows you to explore potential solutions regardless of whether a problem has been defined.

Creative problem-solving is less structured than other innovation processes and encourages exploring open-ended solutions. It also focuses on developing new perspectives and fostering creativity in the workplace . Its benefits include:

  • Finding creative solutions to complex problems : User research can insufficiently illustrate a situation’s complexity. While other innovation processes rely on this information, creative problem-solving can yield solutions without it.
  • Adapting to change : Business is constantly changing, and business leaders need to adapt. Creative problem-solving helps overcome unforeseen challenges and find solutions to unconventional problems.
  • Fueling innovation and growth : In addition to solutions, creative problem-solving can spark innovative ideas that drive company growth. These ideas can lead to new product lines, services, or a modified operations structure that improves efficiency.

Creative problem-solving is traditionally based on the following key principles :

1. Balance Divergent and Convergent Thinking

Creative problem-solving uses two primary tools to find solutions: divergence and convergence. Divergence generates ideas in response to a problem, while convergence narrows them down to a shortlist. It balances these two practices and turns ideas into concrete solutions.

2. Reframe Problems as Questions

By framing problems as questions, you shift from focusing on obstacles to solutions. This provides the freedom to brainstorm potential ideas.

3. Defer Judgment of Ideas

When brainstorming, it can be natural to reject or accept ideas right away. Yet, immediate judgments interfere with the idea generation process. Even ideas that seem implausible can turn into outstanding innovations upon further exploration and development.

4. Focus on "Yes, And" Instead of "No, But"

Using negative words like "no" discourages creative thinking. Instead, use positive language to build and maintain an environment that fosters the development of creative and innovative ideas.

Creative Problem-Solving and Design Thinking

Whereas creative problem-solving facilitates developing innovative ideas through a less structured workflow, design thinking takes a far more organized approach.

Design thinking is a human-centered, solutions-based process that fosters the ideation and development of solutions. In the online course Design Thinking and Innovation , Harvard Business School Dean Srikant Datar leverages a four-phase framework to explain design thinking.

The four stages are:

The four stages of design thinking: clarify, ideate, develop, and implement

  • Clarify: The clarification stage allows you to empathize with the user and identify problems. Observations and insights are informed by thorough research. Findings are then reframed as problem statements or questions.
  • Ideate: Ideation is the process of coming up with innovative ideas. The divergence of ideas involved with creative problem-solving is a major focus.
  • Develop: In the development stage, ideas evolve into experiments and tests. Ideas converge and are explored through prototyping and open critique.
  • Implement: Implementation involves continuing to test and experiment to refine the solution and encourage its adoption.

Creative problem-solving primarily operates in the ideate phase of design thinking but can be applied to others. This is because design thinking is an iterative process that moves between the stages as ideas are generated and pursued. This is normal and encouraged, as innovation requires exploring multiple ideas.

Creative Problem-Solving Tools

While there are many useful tools in the creative problem-solving process, here are three you should know:

Creating a Problem Story

One way to innovate is by creating a story about a problem to understand how it affects users and what solutions best fit their needs. Here are the steps you need to take to use this tool properly.

1. Identify a UDP

Create a problem story to identify the undesired phenomena (UDP). For example, consider a company that produces printers that overheat. In this case, the UDP is "our printers overheat."

2. Move Forward in Time

To move forward in time, ask: “Why is this a problem?” For example, minor damage could be one result of the machines overheating. In more extreme cases, printers may catch fire. Don't be afraid to create multiple problem stories if you think of more than one UDP.

3. Move Backward in Time

To move backward in time, ask: “What caused this UDP?” If you can't identify the root problem, think about what typically causes the UDP to occur. For the overheating printers, overuse could be a cause.

Following the three-step framework above helps illustrate a clear problem story:

  • The printer is overused.
  • The printer overheats.
  • The printer breaks down.

You can extend the problem story in either direction if you think of additional cause-and-effect relationships.

4. Break the Chains

By this point, you’ll have multiple UDP storylines. Take two that are similar and focus on breaking the chains connecting them. This can be accomplished through inversion or neutralization.

  • Inversion: Inversion changes the relationship between two UDPs so the cause is the same but the effect is the opposite. For example, if the UDP is "the more X happens, the more likely Y is to happen," inversion changes the equation to "the more X happens, the less likely Y is to happen." Using the printer example, inversion would consider: "What if the more a printer is used, the less likely it’s going to overheat?" Innovation requires an open mind. Just because a solution initially seems unlikely doesn't mean it can't be pursued further or spark additional ideas.
  • Neutralization: Neutralization completely eliminates the cause-and-effect relationship between X and Y. This changes the above equation to "the more or less X happens has no effect on Y." In the case of the printers, neutralization would rephrase the relationship to "the more or less a printer is used has no effect on whether it overheats."

Even if creating a problem story doesn't provide a solution, it can offer useful context to users’ problems and additional ideas to be explored. Given that divergence is one of the fundamental practices of creative problem-solving, it’s a good idea to incorporate it into each tool you use.

Brainstorming

Brainstorming is a tool that can be highly effective when guided by the iterative qualities of the design thinking process. It involves openly discussing and debating ideas and topics in a group setting. This facilitates idea generation and exploration as different team members consider the same concept from multiple perspectives.

Hosting brainstorming sessions can result in problems, such as groupthink or social loafing. To combat this, leverage a three-step brainstorming method involving divergence and convergence :

  • Have each group member come up with as many ideas as possible and write them down to ensure the brainstorming session is productive.
  • Continue the divergence of ideas by collectively sharing and exploring each idea as a group. The goal is to create a setting where new ideas are inspired by open discussion.
  • Begin the convergence of ideas by narrowing them down to a few explorable options. There’s no "right number of ideas." Don't be afraid to consider exploring all of them, as long as you have the resources to do so.

Alternate Worlds

The alternate worlds tool is an empathetic approach to creative problem-solving. It encourages you to consider how someone in another world would approach your situation.

For example, if you’re concerned that the printers you produce overheat and catch fire, consider how a different industry would approach the problem. How would an automotive expert solve it? How would a firefighter?

Be creative as you consider and research alternate worlds. The purpose is not to nail down a solution right away but to continue the ideation process through diverging and exploring ideas.

Karakteristik dan Implementasi Model Pembelajaran Creative Problem Solving

Model pembelajaran creative problem solving.

Model pembelajaran creative problem solving digunakan untuk merangsang siswa dalam berfikir. Model pembelajaran ini akan banyak memanfaatkan model-model pembelajaran lain yang dimulai dari pencarian masalah sampai kepada penarikan kesimpulan . disamping itu, model pembelajaran ini juga akan melibatkan banyak kegiatan dengan bimbingan dari para pengajar. Model pembelajaran creative problem solving tidak akan dapat diimplementasikan dalam lingkungan pendidikan yang tidak mendukung dialog interpersonal atau yang tidak memperhatikan dimensi rasa social dari pembelajaran didalam kelas. Komunikasi dan interaksi kooperatif diantara teman sekelas dan sikap-sikap kooperatif bisa terus bertahan. Aspek rasa social dari kelompok, pertukaran intelektualnya, dan maksud dari subyek yang berkaitan dengannya dapat bertindak sebagai sumber-sumber penting maksud tersebut bagi usaha para siswa untuk belajar. Dalam pemecahan masalah-masalah baru yang dihadapi diperlukan kesanggupan untuk berfikir. Oleh sebab itu, sudah sewajarnya sekolah turut bertanggungjawab mempersiapkan siswa dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran creative problem solving dalam mengajarkan mata pelajaran matematika. Model pembelajaran ini lebih memusatkan kegiatan pada murid, namun disertai dengan bimbingan dari para guru. Dengan model pembelajaran ini, diharapkan siswa dapat mengaplisakannya dalam situasi-situasi problematic dalam kehidupannya sehari-hari.

Menurut Suryosubroto Pembelajaran Creative Problem Solving memiliki karakteristik sebagai berikut:

  • Melatih peserta didik untuk berfikir divergen dalam memecahkan masalah dengan berbagai cara, mampu memberikan berbagai alternatif pemecahan atas masalah dan kemampuan mengemukakan berbagai gagasan baru, dengan cara-cara baru yang jarang dilakukan orang lain.
  • Peran pendidik lebih banyak menempatkan diri sebagai fasilitator, motivator dan dinamisator belajar bagi peserta didik.

Implementasi Model Pembelajaran Creative Problem Solving (CPS) dapat dilakukan dengan tahapan yaitu:

  • Tahap awal dilakukan dengan memberi apersepsi dan penguatan serta kesiapan mahasiswa dalam mengikuti pembelajaran, kemudian mengulas kembali materi sebelumnya yang dijadikan prasayarat materi, dan memotivasi kepada mahasiswa tentang pentingnya pembelajaran yang akan dilaksanakan.
  • Klarifikasi permasalahan yang ada dalam proyek/kelopok sehingga mahasiswa mengetahui solusi yang diharapkan dari proyek tersebut. Dalam tahap ini, masing-masing kelompok mengajukan draf kepada dosen tentang proyek yang akan dipecahkan permasalahannya.
  • Pengungkapan gagasan dengan memberi kesempatan kepada mahasiswa menggali dan mengungkapkan pendapat sebanmyak-banyaknya berkaitan dengan strategi pemecahan masalah yang dihadapi dalam proyek tersebut.
  • Evaluasi dan seleksi berbagai gagasan tentang strategi pemecahan masalah, sehingga pada akhirnya diperoleh suatu strategi yang optimal dan tepat.
  • Implementasi yaitu mahasiswa bersama kelompoknya memutuskan tentang strategi pemecahan masalah dalam proyeknya dan melaksanakan strategi yang dipilih dalam memecahkan permasalahan sesuai dengan draf kerja yang telah diajukan. Setelah pekerjaan selesai siswa bersama kelompoknya mempresentasikan hasil kerjanya di depan kelas dengan menggunakan media sesuai dengan kreatifitasnya untuk menyampaikan gagasannya dan mendapatkan saran dan kritik dari pihak lain sehingga diperoleh solusi yang optimal berkaitan dengan pemecahan masalah. Kemudian dosen bersama mahasiswa menyimpulkan materi pembelajaran ke arah matematika formal.
  • Tahap penutup. Sebagai pemantapan materi, secara individual mahasiswa mengerjakan quiz yang ditampilkan dengan media pembelajaran dan dosen memberikan poin bagi mahasiswa yang mampu memecahkan permasalahan sebagai upaya memotivasi mahasiswa dalam mengerjakan soal-soal. Suatu soal yang dianggap sebagai masalah adalah soal yang memerlukan keaslian berpikir tanpa adanya contoh penyelesaian sebelumnya.

Model Pembelajaran Creative Problem Solving cocok digunakan dalam peningkatan kemampuan memecahkan masalah karena dalam model pembelajaran ini pengalaman sebelumnya dalam menyelesaikan suatu masalah merupakan faktor yang penting dalam menyelesaikan masalah baru yang berbeda, disamping faktor minat siswa.

Model Pembelajaran Creative Problem Solving (CPS) adalah suatu model pembelajaran yang memusatkan pada pengajaran dan keterampilan pemecahan masalah, yang diikuti dengan penguatan keterampilan. Dalam hal ini peserta didik terlibat dalam memecahkan masalah sehingga peserta didik lebih berfikir aktif, kreatif dan dapat memperoleh manfaat yang maksimal baik dari proses maupun hasil belajarnya. CPS merupakan model pembelajaran untuk menyelesaikan masalah secara kreatif. Guru dalam model pembelajaran CPS bertugas untuk mengarahkan peserta didik memecahkan masalah secara lebih mandiri, kreatif dan membebaskan peserta didik untuk berimajinasi. Guru juga bertugas untuk menyedikan materi pelajaran atau topik diskusi yang dapat merangsang pemikiran peserta didik untuk dapat berfikir kreatif dalam memecahkan masalah pada proses belajar mengajar. Dari beberapa pengertian tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa model pembelajaran (CPS) merupakan model pembelajaran yang berbasis pemecahan masalah secara kreatif yang berpusatkan pada peserta didik untuk berimajinasi agar kemampuan berfikir kreatif peserta didik meningkat.

Dengan menerapkan model pembelajaran Creative Problem Solving diharapkan dapat memotivasi serta mendorong peserta didik agar lebih berpikir kreatif agar bisa memecahkan suatu permasalahan dalam proses pembelajaran. Model Pembelajaran Creative Problem Solving merupakan model pembelajaran yang memusatkan pada pengajaran serta keterampilan dalam pemecahan masalah, yang diikuti dengan penguatan keterampilan. Model pembelajaran CPS memiliki kelemahan diantaranya adalah membutuhkan waktu yang cukup lama dalam proses pembelajarannya, memungkinkan peserta didik menjadi bosan karena harus menyelesaikan masalah yang kompleks dengan banyak variasi jawaban, memilih topik yang dapat mengembangkan kreatifitas peserta didik bukanlah suatu hal yang mudah.

Pembelajaran Pendekatan Pemecahan Masalah (Problem Solving) – Zenius untuk Guru

  • Posted by by Zenius untuk Guru
  • Mei 15, 2022

Bapak dan Ibu Guru, pasti pernah dong bermain teka-teki? Atau, justru sering memecahkannya untuk mengisi waktu luang?

Nggak hanya untuk hiburan Bapak dan Ibu Guru, teka-teki juga bisa digunakan di kelas, lho. Contohnya, sebelum memulai pelajaran IPA, kita bisa memberikan pertanyaan atau teka-teki yang merangsang pemikiran siswa. 

Nah, coba perhatikan teka-teki di bawah ini.  

Gigiku panjang, tapi juga pendek. Gigiku berakhir dengan cepat. Siapakah aku?

Dari teka-teki di atas, mintalah siswa untuk mencari jawabannya sendiri. Biarkan mereka berpikir kreatif dan berimajinasi akan kemungkinan jawabannya.

Kalau menurut Bapak dan Ibu Guru sendiri, kira-kira apa jawabannya? 

Iya, betul banget. Jawabannya adalah petir!

Setelah siswa berhasil menjawab, Bapak dan Ibu Guru bisa mengaitkan jawabannya dengan materi. Misalnya, materi tentang proses terjadinya petir atau fenomena listrik statis.

Wah, teka-teki menyenangkan juga, ya. Tapi, tahu nggak Bapak dan Ibu Guru? Teka-teki bisa bantu meningkatkan kemampuan pemecahan masalah atau problem solving , lho.

Teka-teki membantu kita untuk berpikir logis, menguji prediksi, memecahkan masalah, dan menggunakan penalaran Matematika. Bahkan, dengan bermain teka-teki, kemampuan kerjasama atau kolaborasi juga meningkat.

Sebab itu, teka-teki bisa jadi salah satu media dalam model pembelajaran pemecahan masalah. Meskipun awalnya membingungkan, teka-teki memaksa siswa untuk berpikir tentang cara menyederhanakan informasi. Inilah keterampilan yang bermanfaat untuk pemecahan masalah.

Selain teka-teki, apa saja kegiatan yang bisa dilakukan dalam pembelajaran pendekatan pemecahan masalah? Yuk, kita bahas bersama, Bapak dan Ibu Guru.

Apa yang Dimaksud Pemecahan Masalah?

Pastinya, kita sudah nggak asing lagi dengan yang namanya masalah. Karena, setiap individu dihadapkan dengan suatu permasalahan yang menuntut penyelesaian.

Contohnya, setelah lulus S1, saya ingin melanjutkan pendidikan S2. Tapi, biaya yang dibutuhkan nggak sedikit. Nah, penyelesaiannya adalah dengan saya tetap harus bekerja sambil berkuliah atau mencari beasiswa.

Dalam buku Belajar dan Pembelajaran, Teori dan Praktik (2015) dijelaskan bahwa pemecahan masalah adalah proses pemikiran dan pencarian jalan keluar. Macam-macam metode pemecahan masalah di antaranya lewat pengalaman masa lalu, berdasarkan firasat, trial and error , pemikiran ilmiah, dan secara rasional.

Dalam prosesnya, ada empat tahap yang dilalui seseorang untuk menyelesaikan masalah. Prosedur pemecahan masalah selengkapnya bisa dilihat di gambar berikut ini.

empat fase pemecahan masalah

Lefudin dalam bukunya Belajar & Pembelajaran (2017) juga menyebutkan bahwa pemecahan masalah mempunyai strategi tersendiri. Beberapa di antaranya adalah melalui gambar atau diagram, menemukan pola, membuat tabel, memperhatikan semua kemungkinan secara sistematik, atau menebak dan memeriksa.

Lalu, bagaimana kaitannya pemecahan masalah ini dalam pembelajaran?

Pemecahan Masalah dalam Pembelajaran

Nggak cuma ditemui dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, suatu persoalan dalam pembelajaran juga termasuk masalah yang harus diselesaikan. Jika sering dihadapkan pada suatu masalah di kelas, siswa akan terbiasa untuk mencari jalan keluarnya.

Menurut buku Metodologi Pengajaran (2016), pembelajaran pendekatan pemecahan masalah menggunakan kegiatan yang melatih siswa untuk menghadapi berbagai masalah agar dipecahkan sendiri atau bersama-sama. Di pendekatan ini, orientasi pembelajarannya adalah investigasi dan penemuan yang didasarkan pemecahan masalah.

tujuan pembelajaran problem solving

Jadi, model pembelajaran ini memungkinkan siswa untuk mendapatkan pengalaman belajar dari proses penggunaan pengetahuan dan keterampilan yang sudah dimiliki untuk memecahkan masalah.

Langkah-Langkah Model Pembelajaran Pemecahan Masalah

Untuk menerapkan pembelajaran pendekatan problem solving , ada beberapa langkah yang perlu dilakukan. Di antaranya:

  • Merumuskan masalah , untuk mengetahui dan merumuskan masalah secara jelas. 
  • Menelaah masalah , dengan menggunakan pengetahuan untuk merinci dan menganalisis masalah dari berbagai sudut.
  • Merumuskan hipotesis , sehingga siswa bisa berimajinasi dan memahami ruang lingkup, sebab akibat, serta alternatif penyelesaian.
  • Mengumpulkan dan mengelompokkan data sebagai bahan pembuktian hipotesis.
  • Pembuktian hipotesis, dengan mengkaji dan membahas data.
  • Menentukan penyelesaian masalah , melalui kegiatan penarikan kesimpulan dan memperhitungkan akibat yang terjadi.

Setelah memperhatikan langkah-langkahnya, kita juga harus memilih bahan pelajaran yang mempunyai permasalahan. Nggak terbatas dari buku sekolah saja, materi juga bisa didapatkan dari lingkungan sekolah atau peristiwa di masyarakat. 

Contohnya, masalah banjir yang terjadi di beberapa daerah di Indonesia. Selain menemukan solusi alternatif dari masalah ini, kita juga bisa mengajarkan siklus air, proses terjadinya hujan, pentingnya mendaur ulang sampah, dan menjaga lingkungan.

Menurut Gulo dalam Belajar dan Pembelajaran, Teori dan Praktik (2015), ada beberapa kriteria dalam memilih materi pelajaran, yaitu:

  • Materi bersifat isu konflik atau kontroversial.
  • Materi bersifat umum sehingga tidak asing dan mudah dipahami siswa.
  • Materi pelajaran mendukung pengajaran dan sesuai dengan kurikulum sekolah.
  • Materi mencakup kepentingan banyak orang dalam masyarakat.
  • Materi pelajaran bisa mengembangkan kelas dan membantu mencapai tujuan pembelajaran.
  • Materi menjamin kesinambungan pengalaman siswa.

Nah, selain materi pelajarannya, satu hal lagi yang nggak kalah penting. Bapak dan Ibu Guru perlu menggabungkan pendekatan pemecahan masalah dengan berbagai media pembelajaran.

Kalau ingin menggunakan media pembelajaran yang kreatif, Bapak dan Ibu Guru bisa baca informasinya di artikel 6 Tips Membuat Pembelajaran Kreatif .

Sekarang, mari kita lanjut membahas bagaimana menerapkan pemecahan masalah di kelas.

Baca Juga: Model Pembelajaran Discovery Learning

Contoh Pembelajaran Problem Solving

Dalam memecahkan masalah, siswa perlu menganalisis materi, memahaminya, dan menarik kesimpulan. Karena itu, pendekatan pemecahan masalah mengharuskan siswa berperan aktif dan bisa berpikir kritis.

Nah, seperti yang saya sebutkan sebelumnya. Salah satu contoh pendekatan pemecahan masalah dalam pembelajaran IPA adalah menggunakan media teka-teki.

morfologi jenis-jenis daun dalam bentuk teka-teki untuk pembelajaran

Menurut Jurnal Riset Pendidikan Dasar, Efektivitas Model Creative Problem Solving dengan Media Teka-Teki Silang Daun Terhadap Aktivitas dan Hasil Belajar IPA Sekolah Dasar (2018), diketahui kalau teka-teki silang bisa meningkatkan aktivitas pembelajaran sebesar 82,3%. Penelitian ini juga menemukan kalau hasil belajar siswa lebih baik dibandingkan dengan model pemecahan masalah yang nggak menggunakan media teka-teki.

Tapi, nggak hanya pelajaran IPA saja, teka-teki juga bisa diterapkan untuk ilmu lain. Contohnya, model pembelajaran IPS SD dengan menggunakan pendekatan pemecahan masalah.

Wah, ternyata teka-teki bermanfaat banget dalam pembelajaran. Selain teka-teki dan kegiatan di kelas, Bapak dan Ibu Guru juga bisa mendorong kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa melalui buku atau film.

Kaitannya sama buku dan film, saya punya rekomendasi nih, Bapak dan Ibu Guru. Salah satu buku yang bisa mengembangkan kemampuan pemecahan masalah kita adalah Detective Conan (1994–sekarang). 

Disajikan dalam bentuk komik, Detective Conan mengajak kita untuk berpikir dan memecahkan kasus yang diceritakan. Penyampaiannya juga cukup ringan, tapi bisa meningkatkan rasa penasaran. 

Jadi, kita bisa sama-sama berlatih memecahkan masalah lewat komik Detective Conan . Kalau Bapak dan Ibu Guru atau siswa nggak begitu tertarik dengan komik, ada juga video animasi dan filmnya.

Selain tentang pemecahan masalah, ada juga rekomendasi buku terkait pendidikan lainnya yang bisa Bapak dan Ibu Guru baca. Klik tautan di bawah ini, ya!

Kelebihan dan Kekurangan Pembelajaran Pendekatan Masalah

Setiap hal ada kelebihan dan kekurangannya, termasuk pendekatan pembelajaran yang satu ini. 

Dalam menerapkan pembelajaran pendekatan pemecahan masalah, kelebihannya antara lain:

  • Melatih siswa untuk mendesain suatu penemuan.
  • Mengembangkan pemikiran dan tindakan kreatif.
  • Siswa terbiasa untuk memecahkan masalah yang dihadapi secara realistis.
  • Memudahkan siswa dalam mengidentifikasi dan melakukan penyelidikan.
  • Siswa bisa menafsirkan dan mengevaluasi hasil pengamatan.
  • Merangsang perkembangan kemajuan berpikir siswa untuk menyelesaikan masalah yang dihadapi dengan tepat.
  • Membuat pengetahuan yang didapatkan di sekolah lebih relevan dengan kehidupan nyata.

Sementara itu, kekurangan dari model pembelajaran problem solving di antaranya:

  • Sulitnya menerapkan metode ini untuk beberapa pokok bahasan.
  • Membutuhkan waktu yang lebih lama dibandingkan metode pembelajaran yang lainnya.

Nah, dari kelebihan dan kekurangannya di atas, apakah Bapak dan Ibu Guru sudah menentukan? Kira-kira, ingin menggunakan pendekatan pemecahan masalah atau nggak di kelas?

Demikian penjelasan tentang pembelajaran pendekatan pemecahan masalah. Semoga artikel ini bisa membantu Bapak dan Ibu Guru dalam memilih pendekatan pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan kelas.

Selain memilih pendekatan pembelajarannya, Bapak dan Ibu Guru juga bisa memanfaatkan LMS (Learning Management System) Zenius untuk Guru. Ada ratusan video materi dan latihan soal yang bisa dibagikan ke siswa lewat kelas virtual. Penasaran? Langsung saja klik gambar di bawah ini!

Problem Solving (Pemecahan Masalah) : Pengertian, Indikator, Faktor, dsb

creative problem solving meliputi 4 langkah yaitu

Salah satu keterampilan yang digaungkan untuk menghadapi era pendidikan abad 21 adalah problem solving atau pemecahan masalah. Pemecahan masalah merupakan salah satu skill set penting untuk menghadapi tuntutan hidup di zaman yang serba cepat ini. Mengapa? Karena kecepatan dan ketelitian merupakan hal yang amat berbenturan, dan ketika kita ingin mewujudkannya, maka akan timbul banyak permasalahan, yakni kesenjangan antara harapan dan kenyataan. Dengan demikian keterampilan problem solving amatlah dibutuhkan di masa ini.

Namun demikian tidak usah menyalahkan kebutuhan abad 21, revolusi industri 4.0, atau pengaruh globalisasi juga pada dasarnya setiap orang akan menghadapi masalah. Kita semua akan selalu menemui masalah dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan akan selalu berusaha untuk memecahkannya. Tentunya tingkat kesulitannya amatlah beragam, mulai dari yang sudah memiliki langkah untuk menyelesaikannya, hingga masalah baru yang lebih sulit untuk dipecahkan.

Oleh karena itu problem solving serta kemampuan memecahkan masalah merupakan konsep dan keterampilan penting yang harus dipahami dan dikuasai. Berikut adalah berbagai uraian mengenai problem solving atau pemecahan masalah mulai dari pengertian, indikator, hingga faktor-faktor yang memengaruhinya.

Pengertian Problem Solving

Menurut Uno (2014, hlm. 134) problem solving adalah kemampuan untuk menggunakan proses berpikir dalam memecahkan masalah dengan mengumpulkan fakta, menganalisis informasi, penyusunan alternatif solusi, serta memilih solusi masalah yang lebih efektif. Artinya problem solving merupakan pencarian solusi melalui proses berpikir yang sistematis.

Sementara itu menurut Lucenario dkk (dalam Khoiriyah & Husana, 2018, hlm. 151) problem solving adalah aktivitas yang membutuhkan seseorang antuk memilih jalan keluar yang dapat dilakukan berdasarkan kemampuan yang dimilikinya yang berarti melakukan pergerakan antara keadaan sekarang dengan kondisi yang diharapkan. Hal ini berkaitan dengan definisi masalah yang berarti kenyataan yang tidak sesuai dengan kenyataan, dan problem solving berusaha untuk memperbaiki kenyataan tersebut menjadi sesuai dengan harapan.

Selanjutnya, menurut Solso (dalam Mawaddah, 2015) pemecahan masalah adalah suatu pemikiran yang terarah secara langsung untuk menentukan solusi atau jalan keluar untuk suatu masalah yang spesifik. Tentunya solusi spesifik berarti solusi yang sesuai dengan masalah yang terjadi. Selain itu, Gagne dalam (Made, 2016, hlm. 52) mengemukakan bahwa problem solving dapat dipandang sebagai suatu proses untuk menemukan kombinasi dari sejumlah aturan yang dapat diterapkan dalam upaya mengatasi situasi yang baru. Kombinasi dari sejumlah aturan dapat dipahami sebagai algoritma atau langkah-langkah yang dapat menyelesaikan suatu permasalahan.

Berdasarkan pendapat-pendapat ahli di atas dapat disimpulkan bahwa problem solving adalah aktivitas proses berpikir untuk mencari solusi berupa suatu prosedur atau langkah yang spesifik dalam menyelesaikan suatu permasalahan secara sistematis berdasarkan kemampuan yang dimilikinya.

Jenis Masalah

Terdapat beberapa jenis masalah, yaitu:

  • Masalah yang prosedur pemecahannya sudah ada dan telah diketahui siswa;
  • Masalah yang prosedur pemecahannya belum diketahui oleh siswa;
  • Masalah yang sama sekali belum diketahui prosedur pemecahannya dan atau belum diketahui data yang diperlukan untuk mencari solusinya.

Tentunya dalam pendidikan abad 21, kemampuan pemecahan masalah yang diharapkan dapat dikuasai adalah penyelesaian masalah terhadap masalah yang belum diketahui prosedur pemecahannya dan atau belum diketahui data yang diperlukan untuk mencari solusinya.

Indikator Problem Solving

Bagaimana caranya kita mengetahui bahwa seseorang atau dalam bidang pendidikan spesifiknya peserta didik telah mampu menggunakan kemampuan problem solvingnya? Terdapat indikator yang dapat mencirikan bahwa seseorang tengah mempraktikan kemampuan pemecahan masalah. Menurut Johnson & Johnson (Tawil & Liliasari, 2013, hlm. 93) indikator-indikator penyelesaian masalah adalah sebagai berikut.

  • “Mampu mendefinisikan masalah, yaitu merumuskan masalah dari peristiwa tertentu yang mengandung isu konflik, sehingga peserta didik mengerti masalah apa yang akan dikaji. Dalam hal ini, peserta didik harus mampu mendefinisikan beberapa masalah mengenai isu-isu hangat yang terjadi di lingkungannya;
  • “Mampu mendiagnosis masalah, yaitu menentukan sebab-sebab terjadinya masalah, serta menganalisis berbagai faktor, baik faktor yang bisa menghambat maupun faktor yang dapat mendukung dalam penyelesaian masalah”. Jika hal yang pertama dilakukan adalah mengindentifikasi masalah, maka selanjutnya peserta didik harus dapat menyelidiki ataupun menemukan sebab atau alasan terjadi suatu permasalahan tersebut sehingga bisa mencari solusi;
  • “Mampu merumuskan alternatif strategi, yaitu menguji setiap tindakan yang telah dirumuskan melalui diskusi kelas”. Mengatasi suatu permasalahan tentunya bisa melakukan berbagai hal sesuai tingkat permasalahan yang ada. Strategi yang dilakukan pun bisa berbedabeda sehingga perlu adanya alternatif strategi yang lain jika salah satu strategi tidak dapat berhasil mengatasi suatu permasalahan tersebut;
  • “Mampu menentukan dan menerapkan strategi pilihan, yaitu pengambilan keputusan tentang strategi mana yang dapat dilakukan”. Pengambilan keputusan sangat diperlukan dalam memecahkan suatu masalah karena menentukan strategi yang paling baik dari beberapa alternatif strategi yang ada;
  • “Mampu melakukan evaluasi, baik evaluasi proses maupun evaluasi hasil”. Evaluasi dilakukan agar dapat memperbaiki hal-hal yang salah dari kegiatan proses maupun hasil yang dilakukan ketika memecahkan suatu masalah. Sehingga akan menjadi cerminan untuk selanjutnya agar melakukan strategi yang lebih baik lagi.

Tabel Indikator Problem Solving

Jika disusun dalam tabel indikator seperti layaknya indikator-indikator lainnya dalam bidang pendidikan, maka indikator penyelesaian masalah dapat dijabarkan sebagai berikut.

Sumber: Tawil & Liliasari, (2013, hlm. 93)

Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Kemampuan Problem Solving

Menurut Kartika,(2017, hlm. 327) faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kemampuan pemecahan masalah adalah sebagai berikut.

  • Pengalaman Pengalaman terhadap tugas-tugas menyelesaikan soal wacana atau soal aplikasi. Pengalaman awal seperti ketakutan terhadap biolohi dapat menghambat kemampuan siswa dalam memecahkan masalah.
  • Motivasi Dorongan yang kuat dari dalam diri seperti menumbuhkan keyakinan bahwa dirinya bisa, maupun dorongan dari luar diri (eksternal) seperti diberikan soal-soal yang menarik, menantang dapat mempengaruhi hasil pemecahan masalah.
  • Kemampuan memahami masalah Kemampuan siswa terhadap konsep-konsep soal, tugas, atau permasalahan nyata yang berbeda-beda tingkatnya dapat memicu perbedaan kemampuan siswa dalam memecahkan masalah.
  • Keterampilan Keterampilan adalah kemampuan untuk menggunakan akal, pikiran, ide dan kreativitas dalam mengerjakan, mengubah ataupun membuat sesuatu menjadi lebih bermakna sehingga menghasilkan sebuah nilai dari hasil pekerjaan tersebut. keterampilan tersebut pada dasarnya akan lebih baik bila terus diasah dan dilatih untuk menaikkan kemampuan sehingga akan menjadi ahli atau menguasai dari salah satu bidang keterampilan yang ada.
  • Kemandirian Kemandirian adalah kemampuan seseorang untuk melakukan suatu hal apapun sendiri, tidak bergantung pada orang lain. Sikap mandiri dapat membuat seseorang mampu menghadapi masalah yang ada. Sebaliknya, seseorang yang tidak memiliki sikap mandiri, dia tidak mampu menghadapi jika ada masalah.
  • Kepercayaan diri Kepercayaan diri akan memperkuat motivasi mencapai keberhasilan, karena semakin tinggi kepercayaan terhadap kemampuan diri sendiri, semakin kuat pula semangat untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaannya.

Langkah-langkah Problem Solving

Langkah-langkah yang dapat dilakukan dalam melakukan penyelesaian masalah adalah sebagai berikut.

  • Memahami Masalah Langkah ini sangat menekankan kesuksesan memperoleh solusi masalah. Langkah ini melibatkan pendalaman situasi masalah, melakukan pemilahan fakta – fakta menentukan hubungan di antara fakta-fakta dan membuat formulasi pertanyaan masalah. Setiap masalah yang ditulis, bahkan yang paling mudah sekalipun harus dibaca berulang kali dan informasi yang terdapat dalam masalah dipelajari dengan seksama. Biasanya siswa harus menyatakan kembali masalah dalam bahasanya sendiri.
  • Membuat Rencana Pemecahan Masalahi Langkah ini perlu dilakukan dengan percaya diri ketika masalah sudah dapat dipahami. Rencana solusi dibangun dengan mempertimbangkan struktur masalah dan pertanyaan yang harus dijawab. Jika masalah tersebut adalah masalah rutin dengan tugas menulis kalimat matematika terbuka, maka perlu dilakukan penerjemah masalah menjadi bahasa matematika. Jika masalah yang dihadapi adalah masalah nonrutin, maka suatu rencana perlu dibuat, bahkan kadang strategi baru perlu digambarkan.
  • Melaksanakan Rencana Pemecahan Masalahi Untuk mencari solusi yang tepat, rencana yang sudah dibuat dalam langkah harus dilaksanakan dengan hati-hati. Untuk melalui, estimasi solusi yang dibuat sangat perlu. Diagram, tabel, atau urutan dibangun secara seksama sehingga si pemecah masalah tidak akan bingung. Tabel digunakan jika perlu. Jika solusi memerlukan komputasi, kebanyakan individu akan menggunakan kalkulator untuk menghitung daripada menghitung dengan kertas dan pensil dan mengurangi kekhawatiran yang sering terjadi dalam pemecahan masalah. Jika muncul ketidakkonsistenan ketika melaksanakan rencana, proses harus ditelaah ulang untuk mencari sumber kesulitan masalah.
  • Melihat (mengecek) Kembali Selama langkah ini berlangsung, solusi masalah harus dipertimbangkan. Perhitungan harus dicek kembali. Melakukan pengecekan dapat melibatkan pemecahan yang menentukan akurasi dari komputasi dengan menghitung ulang. Jika membuat estimasi, maka bandingkan dengan solusi. Solusi harus tetap cocok terhadap akar masalah meskipun kelihatan tidak beralasan. Bagian penting dari langkah ini adalah ekstensi. Ini melibatkan pencarian alternatif pemecahan masalah.

  • Project Manager Resumes by Role

Writing Your Project Manager Resume

According to the  Project Management Institute (PMI) , the demand for project managers is expected to grow a whopping 33 percent through 2027.

The need for project managers and the  increase in pay transparency laws  means it’s an excellent time to pursue a project management job.

But that’s easier said than done. 

Whether an entry-level or senior project manager, you must  build a resume  showcasing your ability to plan, manage budgets, produce reports, and ensure projects are on schedule.

Why this resume works

  • A resume objective is for candidates with less than two years in the field. It demonstrates your eagerness for the role, your relevant skills, and your goals for the future. It’s a lot to ask in two to three sentences, so you’ll likely need to take a few whacks at it before you’ve cut it down to the proper size. We believe in you!
  • Including relevant courses or awards is a great way to show hiring managers that you’ve learned the skills necessary for the job. Only include the courses or awards that are most relevant to increase your credibility immediately.

Entry-Level Project Manager Resume

Entry-level project manager resume example with 4 years of experience

  • Our top tip? Make sure your  entry-level project manager resume  is easy to read.
  • Make your body font size relatively big, include section headers, and leave white space (especially in the margins).
  • Always customize your experience to match the  project manager job description  as much as you can. If you lack technical skills, highlight transferable skills like communication, collaboration, and time management.
  • If you don’t have any experience relevant to project management, that’s okay, too. Employers know you’re just starting, so include any job experience you have, including projects, internships, or even volunteer work.

Associate Project Manager Resume

Associate project manager resume example with 8 years of experience

  • Including a Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM), for example, on your associate project manager resume will immediately tell recruiters you know the principles and best practices required.

  • The goal is to expand on your achievements in your cover letter while still covering most of the abilities mentioned in your resume. So, once you’ve finished building your resume, a free AI cover letter generator can make sure the two documents share similar keywords and achievements.
  • If you have more experience in the field, you can consider getting a PCDM or becoming a PCM.
  • If you’re newer to the role, try getting entry-level certifications like those offered by Hubspot or Google Ads.

Senior Project Manager Resume

Senior project manager resume example with 5+ years of experience

  • Employers expect more from senior employees, so they’ll pay extra attention to minor details like punctuation, spelling, and grammar.

  • Always list your highest level of education, whether a college degree or a high school diploma.
  • Unless you’re an entry-level candidate, don’t worry about adding your GPA, any awards, or relevant courses. Those are all secondary to work experience.

  • Start by nailing your technical abilities as an electrical engineer. We’d recommend making each work experience bullet point focused on a different skill (such as communicating with vendors, coordinating schedules, or maintaining equipment).
  • Then add your project manager skills into the mix, again using each work experience bullet point to highlight one skill.

Regarding the “skills” section, it can be tough to find the right balance between listing too many  skills on your resume  and including all areas of strength. It’s a push-and-pull for two reasons:

  • You need to include enough relevant skills to get past automated filters companies use (called an ATS) that grade resumes based on keyword matching.
  • The person reviewing your resume, either an HR professional or a project manager themselves, will be wary if you list more than 10 skills on your resume.

To strike the right balance, ask yourself if you’d be comfortable answering questions about a given skill in an interview.

For example, if you list “reporting” as one of your skills, you should be able to immediately answer the question “How do you know if a project is on track?” by pointing to specific metrics or reports on your resume or cover letter.

Another good litmus test to determine whether or not you should include a skill is if you can discuss using that skill in one of the projects you list on your resume. This accomplishes two things:

  • Reinforces that you’re only including strong skills.
  • Provides more context regarding how you deployed your skills in project management (making your resume and candidacy even better).

After all, what would be more convincing to you: a candidate listing a skill or discussing how they used it to achieve a specific outcome? When in doubt, put yourself in the hiring manager’s shoes and ask yourself what they would like to see on a project manager resume.

So, what are some common skills you should include on your project manager resume? Look no further than our list!

Skills to include on your project manager resume:

Hard skills.

  • Project Management Software (Jira, Trello)
  • Microsoft Office/ Google suite (Excel/Google Sheets, PowerPoint/Slides)
  • Project Management Frameworks and Methodologies (Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, Kanban)
  • Programming Languages and Frameworks (JavaScript, Node.js, Python, Django)
  • Data Analysis
  • CRM Experience (HubSpot, Salesforce)

Digital Marketing

Soft skills

  • Public Speaking and Communication

Problem-solving

  • Prioritization
  • Conflict Resolution

If you’re in a more senior role and have many of these skills, you should focus on the skills mentioned in the job description.

Yes, customizing your resume like this means more work. However, it’s worth it—our data suggests that this practice alone increases your chance of getting an interview by 11 percent.

As a practical example, look at this sample project manager job description. Look at the underlined skills—they’re what you might want to include if you applied for this position. Try to match the language in the job description as best you can.

Sample project management job description and skills:

  • Be accountable for the entire project lifecycle: develop scopes of work and associated project plans and own the day-to-day operations to ensure that projects remain on track and within budget
  • Lead internal and external status meetings: capture notes, assign action items to team members and own all necessary follow-up
  • Relay clear and specific expectations, timelines, priorities, challenges, and new developments in detail to key internal and external team members/parties
  • Own daily project plan components, including task estimation, resource allocations, and new work requests
  • Coordinate internal reviews and implementation-related quality assurance efforts
  • Come from a place of perpetual learning, always seeking to improve and optimize processes, develop new ones, and participate in the overall growth of the department and agency
  • Work with Jira, Smartsheet, or other project management tools
  • Eliminate scope creep by ensuring that projects remain within parameters identified in the scope of work
  • Communicate issues, bug reports, and change orders to leadership

Project manager resume summary or objective

Before we dive into the topic of resume objectives and summaries, let’s first set the stage with some definitions:

  • Resume summary: A short summary of your work history and accomplishments as a project manager. Recommended for professionals with 10+ years of experience in the industry.
  • Resume objective: A short statement expressing a few of your skills and what you’re looking for in your next project manager role. Recommended for entry-level candidates.

Although they might sound drastically different, they’re pretty similar in reality, so don’t get too hung up on specific definitions. The key is that you should only include a  resume objective  or summary if it adds real value to your resume.

Resume real estate is valuable since you’re limited to one page, so you can’t waste words. Hiring managers spend, on average, six seconds reviewing a given resume. Don’t divert attention from your work experience and skills if your objective or summary doesn’t provide anything of value.

Senior project managers should use a  resume summary  since it’s a high-level highlight reel showcasing your most significant accomplishments or goals in two to three sentences.

WRONG – generic resume summary

“Experienced project manager with a history of working across departments to achieve goals and positive outcomes on the projects I manage.”

RIGHT – specific project manager resume summary

“PMP certified project manager with 5+ years of experience owning all stages of the project lifecycle from inception through monitoring and closing to deliver projects that exceed expectations on time and under budget.”

The second resume summary works well because it leads with this PM’s certifications (we’ll touch on this more below) while also showcasing their experience delivering projects on time and within the allotted budget. The first example will take up space on the page.

On the other hand, an objective should be used by more junior project managers to talk about your skill set and what you’re looking for in your next role. It can also be used by PMs who are undergoing a career change or looking for something specific in their next role.

WRONG – vague resume objective

“I’m looking for an opportunity to work as a project manager at a growing organization where I can utilize my unique abilities to plan, scope, and deliver projects.”

RIGHT – resume objective tied to experience

“Project manager with experience building web apps as a software engineer and leading projects that have a meaningful impact on the company’s bottom line. I’m looking for a role where I can utilize my ability to communicate effectively with developers and executives alike.”

The second resume objective is a great way to call attention to the fact that this project manager has experience as both a software engineer and a project manager, which can manifest itself in more effective communication between those two groups.

resume sample of project manager

Projects and work experience

When it comes time to talk about your work experience on your project manager resume, you must tell the story of the projects on which you worked. You’ll have more room to dive into this in your  project manager cover letter , so how do you keep it short and sweet in your resume? 

Rather than talking about one-off tasks you completed, focus on one to two of the biggest projects you led. The beauty of being a project manager is that the experience you should discuss is right in your job title.

Here are some questions you might want to answer about the projects you worked on when talking about them on your resume:

  • What was the scope or goal of the project?
  • How big was the budget, and what was the timeline? Was it a year-long project, or was it a short-term one?
  • How large was the team involved, and with what departments did you collaborate?
  • What kind of reporting or metrics did you use to determine success?
  • Did you encounter any major roadblocks? How did you remove them?
  • What kind of collaboration did you have with the executive team? Did you give a presentation upon project completion?
  • You can and should use quantifiable metrics here!

Remember that you should also mention some of the skills listed in your official “skills” section. For example, did you use Trello to ensure the project was on time? Did you build reporting to measure project success?

Let’s describe a specific example of how all of this might work when describing your work experience as a project manager.

WRONG – non-specific work experience

Feedzai August 2016 – May 2018, New York NY Project Manager

  • Managed several projects in collaboration with the executive team from inception through to closing
  • Regularly removed roadblocks to ensure projects were delivered on time
  • Presented the results of each project in a clear and efficient manner
  • Worked collaboratively with the engineering, product, marketing, and customer success teams

RIGHT – work experience detailing a specific project

  • Led the development of content prediction engine, which grew to $1.5M in annual revenue
  • Analyzed the scope of the project based on competitive analysis, interviews with customers, and customer feature requests
  • Set deadlines for incremental goals, allocated budget, and worked across software, marketing, and executive teams to ensure all teams were properly resourced
  • Communicated progress and roadblocks to stakeholders, including executive management, and made proactive recommendations to remove roadblocks leading to the on-time and on-budget delivery of the project

Specialization and industry experience

Since project managers are in such high demand, they can work in various industries and have a wide range of specializations.

So, if you’re looking for a more specialized PM role, you must highlight your experience in that specialization on your resume. If you’re looking for an I.T. project manager or technical project manager role, you should focus on your experience shepherding projects related to software.

Conversely, if you’re applying for a construction project manager role, your field experience will be more valuable. Focus your resume on the position you’re applying for, and pay particular attention to the  project manager job description .

resume sample of project manager

Education and certifications

No matter what you went to school for, you should include your highest level of education on your resume. If you’re an entry-level project manager, you should include relevant classes you took in school that will convince the hiring manager you’ll make for an effective PM.

When you’re a senior PM, you should avoid listing relevant classes because you want the focus of your resume to be your work experience. Since you want to keep it to one page, you can’t afford to use that space for classes.

No matter where you are on the career ladder, certifications can help your candidacy as a project manager.

Top program manager certifications:

  • Project Management Professional (PMP)
  • PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)
  • Certified Scrum Master (CSM)
  • Professional Scrum Master (PSM)
  • Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO)
  • Kanban Management Professional (KMP)

If you have one of these certifications, you should include it in your education section and your resume objective or summary, should you include one.

As a career coach and hiring manager who has worked with top companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, I have seen countless project manager resumes. In this article, I will share insider tips on what makes a project manager resume stand out and increase your chances of landing an interview. These tips are based on real feedback from hiring managers and successful job seekers in the field.

   Highlight your leadership experience

Employers want to see that you have experience leading projects and teams. Instead of simply listing your responsibilities, focus on the impact of your leadership:

  • Led a team of 12 developers and designers to deliver a $500K project on time and under budget
  • Managed stakeholder expectations and communicated project status to executive leadership

Quantify your achievements whenever possible to show the scope and impact of your leadership.

Bullet Point Samples for Project Manager

   Showcase your technical skills

While project managers are not expected to be technical experts, it's important to show that you have a solid understanding of the technologies and methodologies used in your projects. Some examples:

  • Proficient in Agile methodologies including Scrum and Kanban
  • Experience with project management tools such as JIRA, Trello, and Asana
  • Familiarity with software development lifecycle and DevOps practices

Avoid simply listing buzzwords or acronyms without context. Instead, explain how you used these skills to deliver successful projects.

   Tailor your resume to the job description

One mistake I often see in project manager resumes is a generic list of skills and experiences that are not relevant to the specific job. Instead, take the time to customize your resume for each application. Here's an example of what not to do:

  • Experienced project manager with 5+ years of experience
  • Strong communication and leadership skills

Instead, focus on the specific requirements and priorities mentioned in the job description:

  • 5+ years of experience managing software development projects in an Agile environment
  • Proven track record of communicating with technical and non-technical stakeholders

   Highlight your certifications and training

Project management certifications such as PMP or Scrum Master can set you apart from other candidates and show your commitment to professional development. However, simply listing the acronyms is not enough. Provide context on how you applied the knowledge and skills gained from these certifications in your work:

PMP-certified project manager with experience applying PMBOK best practices to deliver complex IT projects. Completed Scrum Master training and successfully implemented Scrum methodology in Agile development teams.

   Show your ability to manage budgets and resources

Project managers are often responsible for managing budgets, resources, and vendor relationships. Highlight your experience in these areas with specific examples:

  • Managed project budgets ranging from $100K to $1M, consistently delivering on time and within budget
  • Negotiated contracts with vendors and managed relationships to ensure timely delivery of key project components
  • Optimized resource allocation across multiple projects to maximize team productivity and minimize downtime

Use numbers and metrics to quantify your impact whenever possible.

   Emphasize your problem-solving skills

Projects rarely go according to plan, and employers want to see that you have the ability to adapt and solve problems under pressure. Instead of simply saying you have 'strong problem-solving skills', provide concrete examples:

  • Identified and mitigated risks early in the project lifecycle, resulting in a 20% reduction in project delays
  • Developed contingency plans and worked with the team to quickly resolve issues when faced with unexpected roadblocks

Showcase your ability to think critically, make tough decisions, and lead your team through challenges.

The best project managers have the ability to wear numerous hats. They are usually team players who are exceptionally organized, highly strategic, adaptable, and great at communicating with a variety of people. When you’re applying for a project management role, use your resume to show that you have the right skill set and personality for the job. With that in mind, here are some tips for creating a project manager resume that will help you stand out from the crowd.

   Be specific about your accomplishments.

On any resume, you should specify what you’ve accomplished in your previous work. However, when you’re applying to become a project manager, your accomplishments should include specific projects you’ve worked on at past jobs. While you want to keep your resume fairly succinct, don’t be afraid to go into a bit of detail about what projects you did, what your role was, how you ensured the project’s success, and what the end results were.

   Showcase relevant skills for project management.

If your resume has a skills section, use it to highlight several relevant skills for project management. Even better, for any skills that you list, include bullet points about achievements at your previous jobs where you used those skills. Showing hiring managers evidence of your problem solving abilities is always better than simply saying that you have a “solution mindset”. What skills should you emphasize? Project managers need soft skills like organization, planning, management, and coordination. However, soft skills are only part of the equation; many project managers also need to be versed in workspace tools, platforms, and software. Different companies will use different frameworks, but if you can show that you have experience with using some of these tools, you’ll have a definite leg up on the competition.

   Create an ATS-friendly resume.

Whenever you’re applying for a new job, it’s always good practice to optimize your resume for ATS software. Even if you don’t know for sure that the company filters incoming resumes, you should err on the side of caution and assume that they do. Getting past an automated resume filter may sound daunting at first -- but if you follow a few basic strategies, you can get your resume through ATS and in front of a live (human) recruiter. First, make sure that your document is easily readable and that it’s in a standard format such as Word or Google Docs. Keep your text free of images, diagrams, tables, and unusual fonts. Next, you’ll want to include relevant keywords from the job description, but be careful not to overdo it or make your language sound unnatural -- after all, the goal is to eventually get your resume read by a live person!

   Use strong, measurable achievements.

Our last word of advice is to include strong, measurable achievements in your resume -- talk about what you accomplished, not simply what you were responsible for at your old jobs. And, of course, make sure that your LinkedIn and other social media profiles are up-to-date to leave the best possible impression on the recruiter.

Writing Your Project Manager Resume: Section By Section

  header, 1. highlight your project management certification.

If you have a relevant certification like PMP, PRINCE2, or Scrum Master, make sure to include it after your name in your header. This instantly communicates your expertise and commitment to the field.

Here's an example of how to format your name and certification:

  • John Smith, PMP
  • Sarah Johnson, PRINCE2 Practitioner

Avoid simply listing 'Project Manager' as your title, as it doesn't add much value:

  • John Smith, Project Manager
  • Sarah Johnson, Project Manager

2. Include your location, phone, and email

Hiring managers want to quickly see if you're a local candidate or if you would need to relocate for the role. Including your city and state is sufficient - no need to list your full address.

You should also include your phone number and a professional email address. Make sure your email handle is straightforward and professional, like [email protected] .

  • John Smith, PMP San Francisco, CA | (123) 456-7890 | [email protected]

Avoid using casual email handles that you created years ago:

3. Add your LinkedIn profile URL

In today's digital age, hiring managers often look up candidates on LinkedIn. Make it easy for them by including your LinkedIn profile URL in your header.

Ideally, your URL should be customized with your name rather than a string of random numbers. Here's how:

  • John Smith, PMP San Francisco, CA | (123) 456-7890 | [email protected] linkedin.com/in/johnsmith

Avoid using the default LinkedIn URL format:

  • John Smith, PMP San Francisco, CA | (123) 456-7890 | [email protected] linkedin.com/in/john-smith-37b6a8142

  Summary

A resume summary, also known as a professional summary or career summary, is an optional section that appears at the top of your resume. It provides a brief overview of your professional experience, skills, and achievements that are most relevant to the position you're applying for. While a summary is not required, it can be a valuable addition to your resume, especially if you have extensive experience or are making a career change.

When writing a summary for a project manager position, focus on highlighting your most impressive accomplishments, leadership skills, and industry expertise. Tailor your summary to the specific requirements of the job posting and the company's needs. Keep it concise and impactful, ideally no more than 3-4 sentences.

How to write a resume summary if you are applying for a Project Manager resume

To learn how to write an effective resume summary for your Project Manager resume, or figure out if you need one, please read Project Manager Resume Summary Examples , or Project Manager Resume Objective Examples .

1. Showcase your project management expertise

Highlight your experience and skills that are directly relevant to project management. Mention the types of projects you've managed, the industries you've worked in, and any notable achievements.

For example, a good summary might look like this:

Experienced project manager with 5+ years of experience leading cross-functional teams in the software development industry. Proven track record of delivering complex projects on time and under budget, resulting in an average of 20% cost savings per project. Skilled in Agile methodologies and proficient in project management tools such as JIRA and Asana.

2. Quantify your achievements

Whenever possible, use numbers and metrics to quantify your accomplishments. This helps hiring managers understand the impact you've made in your previous roles.

Avoid vague statements like:

  • Managed multiple projects successfully
  • Improved team efficiency

Instead, provide specific details and figures:

  • Led a team of 12 in delivering a $500K project 2 weeks ahead of schedule
  • Implemented process improvements that increased team productivity by 30%

3. Tailor your summary to the job

Customize your summary to align with the requirements and preferences outlined in the job posting. Highlight the skills, experience, and achievements that are most relevant to the specific project manager position you're targeting.

For example, if the job emphasizes experience with a particular project management methodology, such as Scrum, make sure to mention your expertise in that area:

Certified Scrum Master with 7+ years of experience leading Agile software development projects. Skilled in facilitating sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives to ensure timely delivery of high-quality products. Collaborated with cross-functional teams to implement Scrum best practices, resulting in a 25% increase in team velocity.

  Experience

The work experience section is the most important part of your project manager resume. It's where you show hiring managers how you've applied your skills in the real world to deliver results. In this section, we'll walk through how to write an effective work experience section step-by-step, with examples of what to include and avoid.

1. Use reverse-chronological order

Start with your most recent or current role at the top, then work backwards. This puts your most relevant experience first. For each role, include:

  • Company name and location
  • Dates of employment (month and year)
  • 3-5 bullet points detailing your accomplishments

Bad example:

Project coordinator, 2018-2019 Junior project manager, 2019-2020 Project manager, ACME Co, New York, 2020-present

Good example:

Project Manager , ACME Co, New York, NY, 2020 to present Junior Project Manager , XYZ Inc, Boston, MA, 2019 to 2020 Project Coordinator , 123 Agency, Chicago, IL, 2018 to 2019

Tip: Bold your job titles to make your career progression stand out at a glance. Try our Targeted Resume tool to see if you've included the right keywords and skills for each role.

2. Focus on achievements, not duties

Don't just list your day-to-day responsibilities. Hiring managers want to see the impact you made in each role. Ask yourself:

  • Did you deliver projects on time and under budget?
  • Did you improve any processes or implement new methodologies?
  • Did you mentor or train other team members?

Quantify your accomplishments with metrics where possible. Bad example:

  • Responsible for managing project timelines and budgets
  • Coordinated project tasks and deliverables
  • Communicated with stakeholders
  • Managed 5+ projects simultaneously with budgets up to $500K
  • Implemented Agile methodology which reduced average project time by 20%
  • Mentored and trained 3 junior project managers

After drafting your bullets, run your resume through our free Score My Resume tool. It checks your resume on 30+ key criteria hiring managers look for and gives you instant, actionable feedback to improve.

3. Tailor your experience to the job

Hiring managers want to see experience that's relevant to their open role and company. Carefully review the job description and mirror the language it uses, where applicable. If a posting mentions specific project management tools, methodologies, or domains, call those out in your work experience.

Let's say a job description lists Jira, Trello and Scrum. You'd want to include examples like:

  • Managed Scrum ceremonies including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives
  • Tracked and assigned tasks to team members using Jira and Trello

If it mentions healthcare experience, you could say:

Managed a $1.2M telehealth implementation project in collaboration with clinicians, IT, and operations teams

Tip: Include relevant certifications like PMP, CSM or ITIL in your title or a "Certifications" section to further show your expertise in specific project management areas.

  Education

Your education section is a key part of your project manager resume. It shows employers you have the knowledge and training to succeed in their role. It also provides context for your work experience. Here are some tips for writing a strong education section on your project manager resume.

How To Write An Education Section - Project Manager Roles

1. Put your education section in the right location

Where you place your education section depends on your level of experience:

  • If you are a recent graduate or have limited work experience, put your education section above your work experience. This highlights your relevant training first.
  • If you have several years of project management experience, put your education below your work history. Your professional experience is more important to employers at this stage.

2. Only include relevant degrees and coursework

As a project manager, include your bachelor's degree and any advanced degrees. However, don't include your associate or high school diploma. For example:

  • MBA, Stanford University, 2018
  • B.S. Business Administration, NYU, 2014

If you are a recent graduate, consider listing relevant coursework too:

  • Relevant coursework: Project Management, Operations Management, Leadership
  • Irrelevant coursework
  • Online certificates (put these in a separate section)
  • High school diploma

3. Keep your education section concise

Experienced project managers should keep their education section brief. Employers are more interested in your work accomplishments than your degrees at this stage. For example:

M.S. Project Management, Columbia University B.A. Business Administration, University of Florida

However, recent graduates can go into more detail to highlight their qualifications:

B.S. in Industrial Engineering, UCLA, 2022 GPA: 3.8 Relevant Coursework: Project Management, Supply Chain Management, Statistical Quality Control Honors: Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa

4. Use consistent formatting

No matter how much detail you include, keep your formatting consistent. For example:

Master of Business Administration, Harvard University, 2019 Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Stanford University, 2014
MBA, Harvard University, 2019 BSE, Stanford University, 2014

Avoid inconsistent formatting like:

Master of Business Administration (MBA), Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, 2019 B.S.E., Stanford University, 2014

Consistent punctuation, abbreviation, and order make your education section easier to scan.

Writing a project manager resume is no different than working on any other project - you definitely need to have a plan and know the exact steps you’re going to take.

Luckily, you don’t need to figure it out yourself!

We’ve covered each step of writing a powerful project manager resume for you, so let’s dive in:

#1. Pick the Right Format for Your Project Manager Resume

The reverse-chronological resume format is by far the best option for your project manager resume. 

As we’ve mentioned above, the reverse-chronological format is the most popular resume format worldwide. It’s also a recruiters’ favorite!

Here’s what it looks like:

reverse chronological resume

This resume format gives the recruiter a clear picture of your professional background and work achievements by putting your project manager's work experience in the foreground.

Now that you’ve chosen a format for your project manager resume, let’s address the resume layout . 

These are the resume layout elements you should pay attention to:

  • Font style . Your project manager resume has to be easily readable, so choose a professional font style that looks good on both PDF and paper.  
  • Font size. Keep your font size at 11-12 pts for body text and 14-16 pts for section headings, so that your project manager resume is easy-to-read and fits into a single page.
  • Bullet points. Whenever possible, use bullet points to present information and make your project manager resume easy-to-scan as well as well-organized.
  • Resume length. Recruiters go through hundreds of resumes every day, so it’s best to fit your project manager resume in one page to make sure they actually read it.
  • Resume file format. If not asked otherwise, always save your resume as a PDF file so that it looks the same no matter the device or OS the hiring manager uses. 

Use Our Tried & Tested Templates 

As a project manager, you’re great at time management.

So, you probably aren’t too excited about spending hours on pointless tasks… like formatting your project manager resume.

And especially so when you could be focusing on more important things instead, such as perfecting the contents of your project manager resume.

What if we told you there’s a quick and easy shortcut?

Instead of wasting your time on designing your resume, just pick one of our professional resume templates and dive straight into filling in the contents of your project manager resume!

Besides, our resume templates are far more visually appealing than basic text-editor resumes.

#2. Add Your Contact Information

Now that you’ve dealt with formatting your project manager resume, you can start filling in the contents.

Let’s begin with the basics - simply add your contact information , including:

  • Your first name and last name
  • Your title 
  • Your phone number
  • Your email address
  • Your location
  • Relevant social media handles (optional)

Here’s an example of a contact information section that includes all of the above:

Lauren Anderson

012-345-6789

[email protected]  

Boston, Massachusetts

linkedin.com/in/laurenanderson29

This step is as easy as it looks - you just have to make sure to fill in the contact details correctly.

Otherwise, you may leave a bad impression which can hurt your application. 

After all, no company wants a project manager who’s sloppy and doesn’t pay enough attention to details.

#3. Write an Impactful Project Manager Resume Summary

The next step is writing an impressive project manager resume summary .

Your resume summary is meant to provide a quick overview (2-3 sentences) of your professional background to let the hiring manager see whether you’re a relevant candidate.

So, to make sure the recruiter doesn’t put your project manager resume aside after taking just a glance (and actually reading the whole thing), your resume summary has to be effective.

Here’s what a powerful resume summary includes:

  • Your title and years of experience
  • Your most relevant skills in project management
  • Your top 1-2 professional achievements

And here’s an example of an impactful project manager resume summary:

  • Strategic and detail-oriented Project Manager with 7+ years of experience. Outstanding organizational, time management, planning, and problem-solving skills. Met all project deadlines for 5 years straight and increased Company X’s market share by 12% through successful branding projects.

#4. Make Your Project Manager Work Experience Stand Out

As a project manager, you have tons of work experience , so the next step is to list it effectively.

First things first - let’s get the formatting right.

Here’s how you should format the work experience section in your project manager resume:

  • Follow the reverse-chronological order. Start with your most recent (or current) position and go backward in time. 
  • Add your job title. This is supposed to give the recruiter a clear idea of the role you had in the previous workplace.
  • Include the company's name and location. You can also briefly describe the company if it’s not a well-known name.
  • Add the date of employment. To show how long you worked at the company, use the mm/yyyy format.
  • Write down your achievements and responsibilities. Stick to 5-6 bullet points for the most recent roles and 2-3 for older jobs.

Now, no doubt you want your project manager resume to make a lasting impression on the hiring manager and help you land the job. 

So, filling in just the basic work experience details isn’t nearly enough - you’ll end up with a project manager resume that’s similar to other candidates’ resumes.

If you want to make your project manager resume stand out, ask yourself - what exactly are hiring managers looking for?

Sure, it’s your years of experience, but the responsibilities you had in previous roles weigh in much less.

To recruiters, the most important part of your professional background is a proven track record of success . 

As such, the key to a job-winning project manager resume is this: 

Make your work experience section stand out by focusing on your achievements over your responsibilities whenever possible.

So, here’s what you can do to take your work experience section to the next level:

  • Use action verbs to describe your achievements and responsibilities, e. g. spearheaded, managed, resolved, executed, etc.
  • Only include relevant work experience, e. g. you already have relevant project management experience, so the recruiter won’t be impressed that you scooped ice cream in high school.
  • Make your achievements quantifiable , e. g. ”Consistently delivered projects up to 12% below the budget” instead of “Consistently delivered projects under the budget”.

Here’s an example of what an impressive work experience section could look like:

08/2017 - 01/2022

  • Led and coached a team of 16 IT specialists.
  • Managed the Lean Training project for all 54 IT department employees.
  • Consistently delivered projects up to 12% below the budget.
  • Initiated and managed the project to replace all aging equipment, lowering monthly electricity costs by 23%.
  • Introduced a project performance management system that increased project efficiency by 18% over the period of 3 years.

#5. List Your Education Right

Whether you have a degree in project management, business administration, or any other related field, what matters most is your work experience, so keep your education section brief. 

Simply list your education starting with your highest degree as such:

  • Degree Name
  • University, college, or other institution
  • Location (optional)
  • Years attended 

As a project manager, technically you aren’t required to have a degree (though this can make competing against candidates with a diploma much harder), so only include your high school education in your project manager resume if you don’t have higher education .

Here’s an example of the education section:

BSc in Project Management

Colorado State University Global

09/2012 - 06/2016

#6. List Your Project Manager Skills

The skills section shows the recruiters your professional abilities, so it’s one of the most important sections (alongside the work experience section) in your project manager resume.

Here are some tips on how to list your skills effectively:

  • Tailor your skills section for project management. The point of the skills section is to prove to the hiring manager why you’re a great candidate for this position, in particular, so listing all of your skills is redundant.
  • Include any of the skills you have that the company is looking for. Carefully read the job description and see whether the company has listed any specific skills - if you match them, make sure to include them in your project manager resume. 
  • Research the most in-demand project management skills. The skills you need largely depend on the field (IT, marketing, retail, etc.), so research the project management field you’re specifically applying to and write down any of the industry-related skills that you have.
  • Take a look at your achievements. Not sure which skills you have? Your achievements are proof of your skills, so go back to the work experience section and take a closer look. For example, if you consistently deliver projects before the deadline, you’re likely skilled at time management, planning, delegation, etc.
  • List your soft skills and hard skills separately. This will make your project manager resume well-organized and easy to navigate.

#7. Include Your Project Management Certificates

While some companies don’t require project managers to have a degree, many are looking for certified project managers.

Having a project manager certificate also means that you’ll get paid more - in fact, certified project managers earn up to 16% more compared to their uncertified colleagues. 

So, don’t let your certificates go to waste and include them in your project manager resume (in reverse-chronological order, of course, in case you have multiple certifications )!

Here’s how to do it:

  • Certification name
  • Name of agency 
  • Year of obtainment
  • Location (if applicable)
  • Date of expiration (if applicable)
  • Expected date of obtainment (if applicable)

And here’s an example:

Certified Project Manager Professional (2019-2022)

Project Management Institute

#8. Make Use of Relevant Additional Sections

Do you still have some extra space on your project manager resume?

Take advantage of it!

Show off your project management experience by adding one or more of these additional sections:

  • Associations and organizations you’re a part of, alongside your role in them.
  • Publications , such as studies, interviews, and others.
  • Conferences , whether they’re on project management or industry-related subjects.
  • Awards , if any of them are related to project management.
  • Languages are always a plus, but even more so if you’re applying to an international company.

And here’s an example of how to put these extra sections on your project manager resume:

Conferences

  • BRIDGE 2021
  • English - Native or Bilingual Proficiency
  • Russian - Professional Working Proficiency

#9. Match Your Project Manager Resume With a Cover Letter

Now that you know how to write an effective project manager resume, there’s one more thing we need to address - how to write an impactful cover letter .

The point of a cover letter is to prove to the hiring manager that you’re the full package - a competent project manager and the perfect fit for the company.

So, your cover letter should be personalized for the position and include any important details that you haven’t mentioned on your project manager resume.

Here’s how to write a compelling cover letter (even if you aren’t confident in your writing skills!):

  • Start your cover letter by putting your contact information in the header.
  • Directly greet the recruiter and mention your top 1-2 achievements in the first paragraph.
  • In the body of your cover letter, describe your professional background (work experience, skills, etc.) in detail, explain why you want to work for this particular company, and stress why you’d be a great asset to them.
  • To end your cover letter , include a call to action.

Check out our guides on cover letter writing tips and cover letter mistakes to make sure your cover letter is top-notch.

Project manager  resume example

Certified Project Management Professional resume example

Here's what this applicant does well in their resume:

  • Quantifiable achievements : Demonstrates impact with specific, measurable results, such as increasing sales revenue by 24% at Tesla and improving outbound sales cycle by 330% at Rover Games.
  • Professional progression : Shows a clear career trajectory from Project Coordinator to Senior IT Project Manager, underscoring increasing responsibility and expertise.
  • Technical skills and certifications : Lists relevant technical skills and certifications like PMP and Agile Certified Practitioner, aligning with the demands of project management roles.
  • Key achievements section : Highlights significant accomplishments, like saving Tesla $100M, which adds credibility and draws attention to major successes.

How to format a project manager  resume

A reverse-chronological resume format  is a gold standard for resumes. The experience (listed from most recent to oldest), is going to be the centerpiece of your resume. This should be your first choice too.

Here are the most common resume layout elements to be aware of:

  • Font family. Choose a professional font  that looks good both on PDF and printed on paper. Our recommendations are Lato, Rubik, Arial, Calibri, Bitter, or the classic Times New Roman.
  • Font size.  The standard font size for resumes is 12p., but it can vary slightly between 10p and 14p so that you can fit your resume on a single page. Anything above or below will make it difficult to read.
  • Color . Use color sparingly. We suggest using one base color for your content, and a secondary one for highlights, such as your section headings.
  • Margins.  Use a standard 1-inch. A smaller margin will make you want to cram too much unnecessary information.
  • Length . Keep to a maximum of two pages. The rule of thumb is to go back up to 10 to 15 years of relevant experience.
  • Create a resume header  with your basic content information, including your phone number, a professional email address, your location, and a link to your professional LinkedIn profile. Don’t add a photo if you’re applying for a US or a UK company - it’s frowned upon.
  • File format . Save your resume as a PDF , to preserve your formatting. Modern applicant tracking software can read them flawlessly.

If you’re wondering whether your resume format ticks all the ATS boxes, give our Resume Checker a spin:

The top sections on a project manager resume:

  • Contact information : Provides recruiters with necessary details to get in touch.
  • Summary statement : Presents an overview of qualifications and expertise relevant to project management.
  • Project management experience : Demonstrates your background in and knowledge of managing successful projects.
  • Skills : Highlights your project management abilities - both soft and technical.
  • Education and certifications : Proof of professional development, showcasing relevance to the project management field.

What recruiters want to see on your resume:

  • Project execution history : Recruiters prioritize this to understand your experience in leading and managing projects from initiation to completion.
  • Leadership skills:  Essential for a project manager's role, recruiters look for this to ensure you can guide, motivate, and monitor a team effectively.
  • Time management skills : Critical in meeting project deadlines, recruiters prioritize this to confirm your ability to allocate resources and time efficiently.
  • Risk management skills : A key element in project management, recruiters value this to ensure you can identify, assess, and mitigate potential risks in a project.
  • Certification in project management : Recruiters prioritize qualifications like PMP or Agile certificates, which are specifically relevant and demonstrate your proficiency in project management.

How to write your project manager resume experience

Use your resume experience section to prove exactly why you’re the right person for the job.

The experience section is less about efforts and more about accomplishments. HRs will hire people who have a track record to show it, and this is the place to do so. Here’s how to frame your experience:

  • Use direct action verbs  to highlight the work you achieved as a project manager.
  • Feature relevant, strong project management skills that are most required in the job application.
  • Include precise numbers and business results to showcase the value you provided.
  • Tailor your resume to the job description. For example, if it uses terminology, such as “Prince2”, and what you use is “Prince 2”, or “Prince II”, chances are this mismatch will affect your ATS (applicant tracking system) score.

Now, let’s look at some practical examples.

  • • Responsible for project management processes and procedures for contracted work.
  • • Reviewed customer specifications and requirements for potential future product development.
  • • Handled communicating with project progress and challenges to stakeholders.
  • • Responsible for the reporting and documentation of all departmental activities.

Notice how shallow the example above is.

Although it shows some of the tasks you handle, it doesn’t highlight any of the results. It also includes basic job duties that any candidate can copy from resumes online.

That keeps you away from getting hired.

We’ll show you a better example of how you can improve your experience section.

Let’s make some simple tweaks.

  • • Introduced an expense tracking strategy to stay within yearly budget goals which reduced business costs by $1.2M.
  • • Developed strong cross-functional relationships with big clients and stakeholders across different levels of the business.
  • • Lead monthly meetings with 8 project teams to identify challenges and resolve software development issues.
  • • Conducted post product launch evaluation to identify successful software features and find ways to improve on them

The second example, on the other hand:

  • Shows enough details about your past work.
  • Demonstrates more metrics and examples, which enhances trust and shows credibility.
  • It portrays you as a professional project manager who contributed a lot to the company.

How to quantify impact on your resume

You’ve heard many times that quantifying your achievements makes it easier for hiring managers to evaluate your performance in previous companies. To kick off your brainstorming process, let’s look at a few work situations in project management that you can use to show numbers in your resume :

  • Include the number of projects you've managed: This demonstrates the breadth of your experience and your hands-on expertise.
  • List the sizes of teams you have led: Showing the number of people you've managed can indicate your leadership and coordination skills.
  • Mention the budgets you have handled: This reflects your ability to manage resources, which is key for any business.
  • Detail the percentage by which you've completed projects under budget: This showcases your financial management skills, and how you save resources.
  • State the average percentage of projects delivered on time: On-time project delivery is crucial and this shows respect towards deadlines and efficiency in project execution.
  • Quantify the overall project performance improvement under your management: This can help demonstrate your value-add in improving operational effectiveness.
  • Provide the number of risk assessments performed or handled: This indicates your active involvement in risk management, a critical aspect of project management.
  • Include the number of successful stakeholder negotiations: Demonstrating your skills in managing stakeholder expectations can indicate your communication and negotiation abilities.

How do I write a project manager resume with no experience

Let's be honest here for a second:

Having experience is a plus to your resume. It makes hiring managers more confident in recruiting you.

But, HRs understand well that job success isn't only about experience. Many attributes can make a difference in an applicant.

Here's the deal:

The hiring company is looking for an entry-level project manager to handle specific tasks. You'll be able to find more details about that in the job application. Here’s how to build your resume:

  • Read the job description, identify those duties, and prepare to include them in your resume.
  • Feature the specific skills you have that allow you to perform those tasks.
  • Support that with your educational background and unique certificates.

We'll teach you in the rest of this guide how you can do all that. Learn how to read a job description and extract the main resume keywords in this guide .

How to list your hard skills and soft skills on your resume

Since project managers cover a wide field of responsibilities, it doesn't help to list a handful of skills that are of the same nature.

You must pick the most relevant skills for the position you're applying to. Then use them to show that you can guarantee objectives, ensure quality, mitigate risk, etc.

14 technical skills on a project manager resume

  • Project development
  • Project Management Software
  • Project Schedule
  • Data processing
  • Microsoft Office: Word, MS Excel, Project, PowerPoint
  • ProjectLink
  • Oracle Project Accounting
  • Project Management Tools
  • Project Deployment

As you may have noticed, these technical skills  are specific to the job duties of any project manager.

Of course, you shouldn’t list them all in your resume.

Identify which skills are most required for the job you’re applying to by reading the job description carefully.

17 important soft skills to include in your resume for a project manager job

  • Leadership skills
  • Strategic project planning & Project scope
  • Multitasking
  • Detail-oriented
  • Analytical skills
  • Team management
  • Customer Focus
  • Interpersonal Skills
  • Decision-Making
  • Problem-Solving
  • Resource Allocation
  • Vendors Management
  • Project Budgeting

These skills are a must-have for any applicant that’s serious about getting hired. But don’t limit yourself to the skills section for them.

The best way to showcase your soft skills  is in other parts of your resume.

For example, you can include them within your experience section. Or list your skills in your summary section to capture the HR’s interest .

Also, don’t lean too hard on buzzwords. If you decide to use buzzwords  in your Project Manager resume, make sure to use them in the right context and in the right place.

How to list your certifications and education on your resume

Project management is a role that requires lots of human interaction, flexibility, and creativity.

And you don’t learn this anywhere in school.

So you might ask:

Why do I need to include an education section in my resume anyway?

Think of it this way:

If you’re the hiring manager and had to cut a list from 1000s of candidates down to a dozen ones, what would your criteria be?

You’ll now focus on the secondary features of the applicants.

You want to hire someone who has all that, plus some relevant educational background .

Your resume needs an education section. Of course, you won’t detail everything you learned since primary school. In fact, you’ll do the exact opposite.

You’ll list your highest school degree, the university or college you went to, and the duration you spent there.

Check out this example:

All in all, the required degree depends on the industry the hiring company operates in.

Most often, those companies ask for a Bachelor’s in management or business. But sometimes they only hire candidates from technical fields such as computer science and IT.

It doesn't matter how strong your resume is. Featuring certifications in project management on a resume is always a plus.

It shows that you've invested lots of time to boost your career and learn new skills. And it also proves that you're experienced in your work.

But the most important thing is this:

It makes the hiring decision easier on recruiters and allows them to feel good about their choices.

If lots of trusted organizations are vouching for a candidate, it's a good thing to trust their judgment.

What are the best project management certificates to feature on your resume?

Top 10 certificates for your resume

  • Project Management Professional (PMP) from Project Management Institute (PMI)
  • Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)
  • Certified ScrumMaster (CSM)
  • Certified Project Management Practitioner (CPMP)
  • Master Project Manager (MPM)
  • Lean management

Project management and PMP from PMI – the gist of it

Let’s do a blitz round of the hottest questions about whether a PMP certification is worth the money or not.

Is PMP certification still relevant today?

Yes, there’s a growing demand for certified project managers. The demand for project managers is likely to continue to grow as organizations increasingly rely on project-based work to achieve their goals.

Can a PMP certificate increase my salary?

According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), the median annual salary for non-certified project managers in the United States is $93,000. On the other hand, Project Management Professionals (PMPs), who are certified by PMI, earn a median wage of $123,000 per year, which is a 32% increase compared to their non-certified colleagues.

Should I invest in a master's degree or PMP?

A PMP certification is considered superior to a Master's degree in Project Management. This is because a PMP certification requires at least 7,500 hours of hands-on experience leading and directing projects, as well as an objectively assessed level of theoretical knowledge. In comparison, a Master's degree in Project Management is focused primarily on theoretical knowledge and may not provide the same level of practical experience.

How to write your project manager resume summary or objective

Not sure what the utility of a summary in a resume is? It’s meant to provide a quick overview of your career so that hiring managers can learn more about you at a glance.

Generally, you want to include:

  • Most successful projects you worked on
  • Strongest project management skills that allowed you to thrive in your past jobs
  • Best results and accomplishments you achieved in your career
  • Types of projects you were responsible for implementation

To take this a step further, you’ll:

  • Include precise metrics to support your claims.
  • Use short, direct sentences to keep HRs interested.
  • Personalize it by including specific project management keywords, skills, and achievements.

Let’s take a look at some project management resume summaries.

This barely scratches the surface as to who the candidate is and what they’re up to. Instead, it makes them look too uninterested and lazy to update their resume.

Let’s make this better with a few simple changes.

This is a better summary, because:

  • It contains precise numbers that serve as strong evidence of your competence.
  • It’s more personalized and speaks directly to the hiring manager.
  • It features real examples of what the candidate worked on and achieved in their past job.

Finally, the question begs…

Do you need a resume objective ?

We say - you don’t. A project manager is usually an experienced candidate for whom a career objective won’t greatly help.

Additional sections for a project manager resume

You feel you need to add more depth to your resume, but you keep repeating the same bullet points over and over again? Let’s look at some additional sections that can put your experience beyond just professional roles and settings:

  • Languages : Demonstrates multilingual abilities, beneficial in global project teams and diverse work environments.
  • Professional affiliations : Lists memberships in relevant organizations, indicating engagement with the professional community.
  • Volunteer experience : Showcases leadership and teamwork skills in non-professional settings, reflecting personal values and work ethic.
  • Awards and honors : Presents achievements and recognitions, underscoring excellence and dedication in the field.
  • Publications : Includes articles or papers written, reflecting expertise and thought leadership in project management.
  • Personal projects : Describes relevant personal or side projects, showing initiative and passion beyond professional work.

Key takeaways for making an outstanding project manager resume

  • Read the job description carefully . Understand what the hiring company is looking for, then craft your resume accordingly
  • Use your resume header to grab attention and prove your competence
  • Highlight your greatest accomplishments throughout your resume to remind people of your worth
  • Use your experience section to feature your relevant expertise in cross-functional teams, and strongest skills
  • When faced with competition, add an education and certificates sections to stand out from other

ResumeGiants Team

Being a project manager requires extensive knowledge and refined leadership skills.

Demanding as the job of a project manager may be, crafting a suitable resume for a related position can be even more daunting. Competition, professional competence, related achievements, and experience—all these and more can make or break a project manager resume. 

No matter how good you might be at project management, it will ultimately be your resume that will speak on your behalf and paint a whole picture of you as a professional before your hirers. 

Dread not, for we have compiled a detailed guide on how to write a resume for a project manager position, and get the job you applied for—no questions asked.

Project Manager Resume Sample

Since the best way to understand how to write a resume for a project manager is through an example, here is what a full project manager resume ought to look like:

[ Jennifer Decker ]

[ Product Manager ]

What’s the Best Project Manager Resume Format?

There are a few project manager resume formats available, with the ever-favorite being the reverse-chronological resume format. 

As the name itself suggests, a resume with a reverse-chronological format serves to describe your previous work experiences, starting from the most recent and moving backward.

Some studies have shown that this type of resume format is most appealing to a big number of employers since it is fairly easy to read—almost like a story. 

At the top of the resume, candidates should include a short summary or objective , to catch the attention of the hiring agent.

The reverse-chronological format starts with the professional experience and then moves on to the personal life, education, and other talents and hobbies of the candidate. 

Some of the best skills should also be mentioned here, both characteristic skills and job position-related skills. It’s also important to mention some certificates or awards, because they may bring extra credit.

Other Project Manager Resume Formats

The second most commonly used format is the functional resume format . Here, the summary or objective of the candidate comes first. And, unlike the previous format, in a functional resume format, all the attention will fall on your skills section. For applicants who don’t have a rich work experience section (or any experience for that matter), the functional format is ideal since its main aim is to highlight your personal skills and show the employer that you’re capable of doing the job flawlessly—even without the professional background. 

Finally, there is also the combined resume format , whose name is self-explanatory. 

This format is a combination of both previous resume formats. In the combined resume format, the main focus will fall on both the candidate’s previous work experiences as well as their professional skills. 

Both sections are equally highlighted, which makes the combined format ideal for applicants who want to change their profession or include the best of both worlds – skills plus experience. 

To make the resume even more professional, you can always use a project manager resume template tailored just for your needs.

When explaining your professional history, emphasize your accomplishments and any other relevant awards or affiliations. This will paint a complete picture of you as a valuable project manager—and it’s a chance to emphasize the best parts of your career.

How to Write a Project Manager Resume Summary or Resume Objective

Another required section that makes your resume stand out is the project manager resume summary. 

For those unfamiliar with it, a resume summary should include a brief overview, no more than 3 sentences long, of all your professional experiences.

In this short section, the candidate should highlight their most significant achievements, thus allowing the employer to quickly determine if the candidate is qualified for the position. 

A resume summary can also be useful when creating longer resumes, and you can always boost it with relevant keywords and thus make it more relevant. 

On the other hand, a project manager’s resume objective is a statement included at the beginning of the resume and serves to describe the candidate’s key goals. 

Similar to the resume summary, the resume objective serves to inform the employer if the candidate is a good fit for the company.

The section should be short and precise, and briefly clarify the candidate’s goals and ambitions in the long run.

Both the summary and objective are similar to one another, with the difference that the summary is more commonly used by people seeking employment in the same profession, and the objective for those looking to change industry fields.

Project Manager Resume Summary Example

An exceptional project manager resume summary should include the following:

  • Description of the candidate’s top professional accomplishments 
  • The candidate’s professional title 
  • The applicant’s most relevant project management skills
  • Number of years of professional experience

Below is an example of what a resume summary should look like:

Project Manager with over 7 years of experience, strategic and detail-oriented. Excellent organizational, planning, time-management, and problem-solving abilities. For five years in a row, I met all project deadlines and improved Company X’s market share by 12% through effective branding projects.

To compare, you should also see an example of a poorly written summary section:

Experienced project manager with a track record of collaborating across departments to meet goals and generate excellent outcomes on the projects I oversee. I’m searching for a job as a project manager at a rising company where I can use my unique skills to plan, scope, and deliver projects.

How to Write an Entry-Level Project Manager Resume Objective

To create an appealing entry-level project manager resume objective , you must first understand what the recruiter is looking for. 

All in all, the objective’s aim is to demonstrate to the employer that you’re the perfect choice for the job at hand.

In order to show that you deserve the position – even without the experience – you can emphasize a few of your greatest abilities. It’s very useful for entry-level project managers to point out the education and degrees they have, along with some certification if they possess any.

Here are some tricks in how to write a good-looking entry-level objective:

  • Keep the objective as brief as possible . Don’t include any irrelevant information that won’t do anything well. You only need a few well-structured sentences and make certain that each word is thoughtful and necessary.
  • Be specific and precise about the work position you seek, in this case, project manager. Discuss your objectives simply and make them relatable to the position you are applying for. Keep the sentences well-written and use professional terminology to grab the attention of the recruiter.
  • Draw attention to some extra project or activities you’ve been a part of while studying. This way, you will fill any gaps you have in the experience section.
  • Explain what you’re willing to do for the company and how you will contribute to its overall success and further accomplishments. Take your objectives a step further and outline how they align with the demands of the organization, all the while relying on the job description as your guide. 

Entry-Level Project Manager Resume Objective Sample

There are many diverse ways to structure an entry-level project manager resume objective :

Highly qualified and talented professional seeking associate-level project management role to practice good communication, efficient planning approach, and deliver great projects to customers, four-year business bachelor’s degree program, as well as proficiency in six languages.

Take a look at this example of what an objective shouldn’t look like. 

When writing an objective, it’s important to see both right and wrong examples and compare them to help you fully understand what employees are looking for.

I’m an excellent project manager in search of a regular eight-hour job, where I can show all my project management skills and contribute to the company. 

Even though the objective should be simple and brief , that doesn’t mean that it should be void of its primary essence. Being eloquent and using professional lingo will always make you seem better for the position and more versed. Since you will be lacking professional experience in your entry-level project manager resume, pay more attention to your top skills , and include any respective degrees and certificates you have to support your professional readiness for the job. 

How to Describe Your Project Manager Experience

Before becoming professionals in the project management industry , most project managers firs t worked as an IT employees. 

Interestingly, this part of the candidate’s previous work experience is rather important for the employer, so do your best to feature it in your resume and describe it in detail at that. 

It might be best to write down what your previous professional title was, alongside the purpose you served at the company as a front end employee. 

Mentioning any viable IT-related skills is also a plus, as it helps the hiring agent to, in a way, filter out the unripe fruits from the ripe ones. 

To explain your level of expertise in this area, you first need to include your level of knowledge. You will also need to describe your professional comprehension of popular operating systems, including debugging software issues. 

Also, you can mention that you are able to assist clients with minimal IT knowledge who need a professional’s helping hand to sort a related issue. 

Any certifications and publications that describe your solid proficiency in hardware and software, among other IT areas, should have a place in your resume since it gives the employer a clearer picture of your skills and accomplishments. 

If you also have finished any professional courses or did training in the field of software and IT management, add these to your professional resume strengths.

Project Manager Resume Examples: Experience 

The experience section is the most significant to craft, since hiring agents are most interested in a candidate’s prior projects. The project manager resume experience section should ideally look like this:

Senior Project Manager Company X 08/2005 – 07/2009

  • I oversaw and coached a staff of 16 experts.
  • I was in charge of the Lean Training initiative for all 54 staff members.
  • Delivered projects up to 12% under budget on a regular basis.
  • I started and supervised a project to replace all old equipment, which resulted in a 23% reduction in monthly electricity bills.
  • Over a three-year period, a project performance management system was implemented, which boosted project efficiency by 18%.

Below are some tips and tricks that might come in handy when writing an experience section for a project manager resume:

  • To explain your accomplishments and duties, use action verbs such as managed, spearheaded, resolved, executed, and so on.
  • Include only relevant information regarding your previous experience. It’s recommended to provide information about previous jobs that are similar or at least in the same branch as the job position you are seeking. The employer won’t be impressed to read about your high school part-time jobs or non-related tasks.
  • Make your accomplishments measurable , and provide percentages when talking about certain things. For example, try using “Consistently delivered projects up to 12% under budget” rather than “Consistently delivered projects under budget.”

Entry-Level Project Manager Resume: Experience Section

The work experience portion of your project manager resume for entry-level candidates should be formatted as follows:

  • Follow the functional resume format . This helps you point out your top work-related as well as your soft skills and assure the employer that you’re the right fit for the position even with no significant experience.
  • Write a well-structured education section. For candidates with no previous work experience, education comes as one of the most important factors. Include the name of the college, university, or course, along with the years of attendance.
  • Point out any internships, college projects, and activities you partook in. Even though entry-level candidates don’t have real job experience, working on college-related projects will make up for the lack of professional practice.
  • Include the name of the company in which you had your internship, especially if it’s a major business. Add a few sentences to elaborate on your responsibilities there, and detail your contributions to the company projects.
  • Mention voluntary projects that you might have been a part of, and explain how you gained the relevant experience.
  • Write a short objective at the top of your resume to state why you want the job
  • Create a list of accomplishments and obligations. 5 to 6 bullet points will do. 

If you want your project manager resume to stand out and strike the attention of the employer, you need to make it unique. 

And, whilst you may be lacking the professional experience to get the job, your skills, additional accomplishments, and most of all—your adequate experience—can often be just enough to land you the position you applied for.

Have You Tried Troubleshooting Your Education Section? You Should

Even though project management knowledge can be gained without college, having a degree of some sort will more likely get you the job faster. 

Every major company in this industry seeks candidates who have at least a Bachelor’s degree. Two degrees, or even better—a major’s degree—heighten your chances of scoring the job you seek. 

The education section on a resume is just as necessary to include in a resume as other sections. 

If you have a high-quality education, but somehow, the hiring agents reject your resume after a single glance, the issue might be your poorly described education section or choosing the wrong resume format. 

Alterations are a great way to showcase your project manager education section. 

If you are having trouble determining what a quality education section in a resume looks like, read on as we elaborate on the details that will make you stand out from the crowd —educationally and otherwise. 

Project Manager Resume Education Section

The education section should be kept short and tight , unless you are an entry-level candidate and have no real experience to show for. 

By default, employers will be more interested in your professional journey; however, without it, your education section is the next big aspect of your resume to polish and write accordingly. 

Arrange your education resume section in the following order, starting with your highest degree:

  • Title of the degree
  • University, college, academy, or other educational institution
  • Years of attendance

A project manager applicant should not pile up information regarding their education, but neatly organize it, so it’s readable, precise and relevant. 

If you just throw information here and there, your resume will look chaotic, and it might cost you getting the job altogether. 

As mentioned earlier, a project manager position does not always demand that candidates have a professional degree. If you don’t have a degree but have the experience, you can pay more attention to the latter and put your professional skills to the test. 

The Best Skills for a Project Manager Resume

In a project manager resume, the skills section should showcase your best hard and soft skills for the job, and offer a brief explanation on how you plan on putting these into practice. 

Soft Skills

Speaking in Public

Astute Listening

Great Communication

Resolving Conflict

Being Adaptable

Managing Stress

Hard Skills

Budgeting & Forecasting

Computer Literate

Proficiency in Project Management Software

Strategic Planning Statistical Analysis

Risk Evaluation

Again, the best way to organize this section is to start listing your top hard skills first, and then move on to your soft skills.

Soft skills are worth mentioning; however, the recruiter will ultimately be more eager to see what skills you can immediately bring to the table in your project manager role. 

Remember, try to subtly intertwine these skills within other areas of your project manager resume and not just list them at the end.

Picture these words as magic keywords—employees are scanning hundreds of resumes looking for these skills, so your resume will jump out at them if you have cleverly included them throughout.

How to Add Other Sections for an Effective Resume

If you’re under the impression that the project manager resume is still not fully written , that there are gaps in your content, or that you are lacking sufficient experience, adding other sections can help make up for the shortcomings and still make you a viable candidate for the job. 

Here are some of the most commonly used additional sections in a professional resume:

  • Publications such as research, interviews, and other forms of media. If some of your works have been published in the media, make sure you bring that up in the resume.
  • Conferences , on both project management topics and industry-related topics. If any of these are relevant and connected to project management, they should be considered for your resume.
  • Partaking in any associations and organizations and details on your level of involvement in each. Explain briefly what your job was and how you contributed to those organizations.
  • Language skills are always advantageous, no matter if you’re applying for a position in a domestic or an international company. Especially for international positions, mentioning your polyglot skills will be highly appreciated. 

Project Manager Resume Sample “Other” Sections

As many other sections as you might want to include in your resume, sticking to the relevant ones only will do a better job at representing you professionally. 

If some of your achievements are more impactful than others, include them first, and leave out the information that serves you no purpose in getting a project manager’s job. 

However, if you possess both language skills and have relevant publications , or you have attended respective conferences, all sections need to be included in your resume for better effect. Ambition counts, so use it. 

Here’s a sample of a well-written additional section on a project manager resume:

Conferences 

AIPM National Conference 2020, ACMP Annual Conference

  • English – mother language, native proficiency
  • German – professional working proficiency
  • Spanish – excellent writing and speaking abilities

Organizations 

Project Management Institute, Association for Project Management
