Question of the Day

You learn that a former boss of yours who is a PMP has committed to his boss that 100% of the PMO that he manages at their company will be certified. They also don't have any training budget, and can't send anyone to training to qualify for the training requirement for the exam. The other problem is that one of the people who passed the test is 22 years old and going to Junior college. You know that this person has been working in this area for only two years at most. When asked about it, you are told that they lied about the experience hours and the training required of the PMP application. What is the best thing to do?


A) Contact your former boss and let him know it's not appropriate.

B)  Contact PMI to report the name(s) of the person(s), the name(s) of supervisor(s), and the company.

C)  Tell your old boss to hire you back or you will turn them into PMI.

D)  Ignore it because you don't work there anymore.
