Eligibility to appear for PMP certification?

admin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 06:45:25 +0000

Hi I am a software professional with 11 years of experience. My role and experience is Technical consultant. I am playing the role of Individual contributor. I don’t get involved in project manager activities.

I’d like to move to project management and like to give PMP certification. Am I eligible for PMP ? Do I have to attend any prep course?

Thanks in adv
Hari
Thanks for reply. In my case I did not participate in project initiation and closure etc. As mentioned my role has been of individual contributor.

How can I get eligibility for PMP? If I attend 35 hours formal training, am i eligible for PMP?

Thanks

To obtain the PMP credential, you must first demonstrate that you are eligible by meeting either of the following eligibility requirements set by Project Management Institute (PMI).

These PMP Eligibility Requirements/criteria has been set by PMI to ensure that any Project Staff who applies and subsequently, clears PMP Examination successfully possess Relevant Work Experience and undergoes formal/structured Project Management Education for at least 35 Contact Hours (Typically Four Days Training Program).

This is to ensure that any project staff across industry verticals who even applies for PMP Certification Exam, is well versed with Best Practices in Project Management – in line with PMI’s Guide to Project Management Body of Knowledge.

Where can I find a second hand copy of PMP Exam Prep book by Rita Mulcahy?

Transcript for ” project communication management, report performance”:

Performance Reporting is the last Project Communication Management process. It involves periodic collection and analysis of baseline vs. actual data to understand and communicate the project progress and performance as well as to forecast the project results.
Now, does it sound similar to Information Distribution? It does.
But it’s different than Information distribution in the sense that Information Distribution is about sharing the project status report as and when desired by the stakeholders, where as Performance reporting is about analyzing the project data, reporting on planned vs. actual as well as making forecast about the future.
Let’s look at the kind of reports prepared as part of performance reporting. Few such reports are:
Project Performance reports with respect to cost, schedule, scope and quality.
Trend reports on whether the project performance is improving or deteriorating
Earned Value reports
Forecasting reports on future project status and performance.
Let’s look at the inputs of this process. We will have already discussed all these documents listed as input to this process.
The tools and techniques are also quiet obvious. Just be aware of their names. You will not be ever asked in PMP exam about what are the different variance analysis methods used for variance analysis. You should just know that variance analysis is a technique used in analyzing planned vs. actual analysis in performance reporting.
Similarly, there are techniques used for forecasting the future project performance. Many organizations do use sophisticated software for such analysis, but in smaller project basic mathematical principles and common sense techniques can be used to create such reports.
This process results in Performance reports as output. In addition to that, change requests are also a very likely output. Why? Because, stakeholders may ask for some changes based on performance reports.
In addition to these two outputs, this process also results in updating the lessons learnt database. Can you think of why? Do this as an exercise…
With this, we are through with the project communication management process.
Please go ahead and take up the quiz, to check your understanding of this topic.
