I passed my PMP certification exam on the 18th of Feb 2010 and wanted to share my journey towards PMP so all those PMP aspirants can take away some tips to crack the exam. Thanks for your LLs! I was planning to get PM Fastrack. Luckily it was always out of stock from the popular online bookstores. After reading through your LLs, I decided to use a number of practice exams rather than one single source. In summary, I used the following materials for my 2-month exam preparation. Here’s a quick roadmap to greater professional effectiveness! Passed CAPM today (ksganesh) Hassan As IT Service Management grows in maturity, so too do the requirements for developing and recognizing capable individuals in the industry. Hassan Introduction Recently, as U.S. President Obama receives his Noble Prize, people have been talking about his success and call it “Obama phenomenon.” Many people believe, one of the secrets lies in his “Vision Leadership”. Once the WBS has been created the project manager and the project team can begin to create an estimate of how long the project work will actually take and what resources are required to complete the project work. Resources are generally thought of as people and the roles they play within a project (think network [...] You are a project manager. You know what it takes to get things done. You work smart and you work hard. You create charts, schedule, plans, and deliverables. You are a person of action. You plan. Achieve. Close. And then it’s onto to the next assignment. It’s what you do. Have you ever wondered what professional level credentials are available for project/program managers to choose from, and how these various project management certifications compare against one another? 1. Poor planning: Who are your IT managers and do they get enough opportunity to plan or under pressure from senior management they tend to think planning as a waste of time because they believe that time is better spent doing something rather than planning. Do you involve your project team members in planning? Do [...] The WBS is a decomposition of the project scope statement. It is a deliverables-oriented document that visualizes all the things the project will create. It is not, and I stress the word not, the activity list. The WBS takes the project scope statement and breaks it down into the deliverables the customer is expecting from [...] I registered for the PMP exam early this January with the intention of clearing it by end of March. Procrastination set in and March-end became December. There..you have the first lesson learnt – the longer you wait to write the exam, the harder it gets. For those who have otherwise been following progress on Twitter, Facebook, or prior to my little disaster on my Blog, you’ll have learned that I’ve recently sent my pride, joy, and first-born fictional novel off to publication. The Corrupt Republic is now available on Kindle, in the e-Store on the book’s Website, and soon to be [...] The project scope statement is a document that defines what the project is, the project deliverables, and the work that the project team (and likely contractors) will have to do in order to create the identified project deliverables. The major purpose of the document is to communicate with the project team, the project customers, and [...] About the author: Naggesh is a graduate from the PLD program at Harvard Business School, and has obtained MBA and Second Master’s in Information Systems. He has a PMP from PMI in addition to being an Associate Management Accountant. The pace of change gets faster every day, and that means we need to learn faster and faster. But that does not mean we can skim and not learn as well! If anything we need to not only learn faster, but also better. During the initiating process you and the project customer created requirements that defined the basic ideas of the project. This document is elaborated upon, and the project scope is now created. In addition to the preliminary project scope statement, you’ll use the project charter, historical information if you’ve done projects like this one before, and [...] General Observation on PgMP credential•A ‘gruelling subjective’ exam requiring an in-depth knowledge of the program PMI terminology/theory. The project charter authorizes the project. This document officially initiates the project and gives the project manager the authority to use organizational monies and resources to reach the objectives of the project. It’s a powerful document, and without one of these you’re setting yourself (and often your project) up for [...]
We always do what’s right, we never do anything wrong! Hello Everyone! Procurement in the Fourth Edition of PMBOK has contracted down to four processes from six, and PMI has removed explicit mention of “contacting” in the process names, but none of the functionality has been lost of course. And although we normally think of procurement processes as being between a buyer [...] Project managers are identified and authorized in the project charter to manage the project, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they have all of the power in their projects. When I talk about power, I mean autonomy – the power to make decisions on how the project should move forward. These [...] Is the PMP certification enough? While there may be many projects that could get initiated organizations usually don’t initiate all of the prospective projects they possess. The reason why? M-O-N-E-Y. Companies only have so much capital to invest in projects. Furthermore, companies only have so many resources (as in folks like you) that are available to do project work. So [...] |
