PMP Forums – Join online forums for help with your PMP Studies



Online forums are one of the best sources of information you have at your disposal today. You will have access to extremely valuable suggestions, opinions and information on these forums and they often provide you with specific examples and personal experiences which will help guide you in your quest for knowledge and instruction/s. Let’s look at some of the benefits….

Will help in understanding the PM (Project Management) Concept

Most of them might be wondering, why and how is it beneficial? It is because these online forums can actually help you prepare for your exam. If you are facing any issues understanding a specific project management concept, there could be someone on these online forums who can elaborate or explain it in such a way that could help you understand the concept better. Likely chances are that they ran into the same problem during the course of their own studies. This will save you a lot of time and hard work. The good thing about this is “instead of just memorizing” you will understand the concept.

Post questions on Specific PMP Exam Prep Topics and get Advice

You could use these internet forums in several ways to your advantage. The different methods you use will depend on the specific type of information you are looking for. This may include asking specific questions, for example: using a “search and scan” technique for additional or more detailed information or even soliciting advice on specific PMP Exam Prep topics. You will find many Project Managers (who are Project Management Professionals in their own right) are active participants in these types of forums. They are normally open to answering your specific questions, willing to provide you with information searching tips, and also enjoy sharing information from their own experiences to PMP certification.

Get answers to Specific PMP Exam info from different Project Managers

If you wish to post/ask a specific question concerning preparation for the exam, most online forums have an easy-to-follow process to submit your question. The best part about this is that you are most likely to receive answers from different Project Managers, who may offer a variety of perspectives and experiences. This will help you in selecting the best answer from the lot as it pertains to your specific question/situation.

“Search and Scan” – Targeting your specific PM Exam Question

For self-starters who prefer to do their own research, online forums can make this very easy. All or most of these online forums include a strong search engine for you to quickly “search and scan” the forum content to find the information that you are specifically looking for. Since you will be reviewing online forums specific to PMP Exam Prep, your search will be that much more targeted

Get advice on the best way to complete the PMP application process

Great thing about this online forums is that - you will find participants on these forums who have already finished the entire study process for the exam and/or PMP’s who have successfully passed the exam. One of the major reasons these PMPs spend their time on these forums is to help aspiring PMPs become successful so that they too can use these skills to give back to their local communities.

The PMP application process can be very tedious and time-consuming and is probably the most difficult part of the entire certification. Forum members will give advice on the best way to complete the process, sometimes by providing templates and tools to make this process easy for you. You will find expert advice on how to properly complete the PMP application process.

Preparing for the PMP Exam – Find some “Do’s and Don’ts”

Find advice on how to study for the PMP exam in online forums. There is a wealth of information on these forums about specific study tools such as PMP Exam Prep courses, books and guides, audio/visual aids, tips and tricks, and the all-important exam simulation practice questions. You will learn exactly what happens from the moment you walk into the exam room until you leave - from the point of view of someone who has actually been there. PMPs could also suggest the best time to take the exam, as well as letting you know the specific “Do’s” and “Don’ts” of effective exam preparation.

As you can see, there are many benefits to participating in PMP Exam Prep internet forums that will help you prepare for the exam, take the exam and successfully pass the exam in your first attempt by preparing yourself using above tips. You must be wondering as to - how can these forums can help you after you have successfully passed the exam and obtained your PMP certificate from the Project Management Institute (PMI)? By actively participating in these forums during the exam preparation stage, you would have established and grown your Project Management network base, which will lead you to many opportunities - both personal and professional growth in the discipline of Project Management.

Conclusion…

We are sure and it is obvious that by joining a PMP Exam Prep internet forum you will save both time and money, avoid frustration, and be thoroughly prepared for successfully passing the PMP Exam. Then it will be your turn as a PMP and an internet forum participant to pass on your knowledge and experience to future generations of aspiring Project Managers.

"Six Sigma - Key benefits"




Six Sigma, originally developed by Motorola has become an all-around standard present in almost every large business organization. Six Sigma’s overall success has produced a new market wherein there is one more opportunity for career growth.

The fundamental reason why some organizations and individuals choose to pay and spend time to undergo such training will be the topic of this article. This write-up will help you take a knowledgeable decision and check to see if Six Sigma is something you wish to seriously consider for you or your company. After successful completion of training, your Six Sigma Certification could easily translate to a job promotion or a hike in salary.

Some of the key benefits that you should know…

# Appropriate use of resources: Enrolling with us in this training can show your employees how to utilize resources much better than before. This knowledge will help reduce the cost of operations, materials and saves time. This means a better performing workforce as well as increase in customer satisfaction.

# Boosts Employee Satisfaction: Six sigma training doubles employee confidence as they are trained on new skills that can be easily used and put together in the workplace. This also helps multiply their marketability.

# Increases company reputation: The verbal news of companies offering training to employees can dribble down from the managers down to the junior employees and ultimately to their peers. This could convert into more potential candidates willing to be a part of your workforce/organization.

# Increase in shareholder faith/confidence: This could translate to more confidence in shareholders, if a company that they partially own is doing great. This can lead to more budgetary allocations and is a win-win situation for everyone involved.

# Business alliances improve: Organizations that deal with other companies, who have implemented the Six Sigma program can certainly see the improved services of such companies. This can bolster them to have long term business relationships that can speak well of both companies. The six sigma tools and theories could rub off onto other companies which can lead them to follow suit by implementing Six Sigma training.

Conclusion...

While these key benefits can surely justify an investment in training, there are some things that you should always keep in mind. Experts in this field suggest that: Instead of having only black belt or master black belts in a company, one should have a variety of lower Six Sigma belts including Green and Yellow as well. While they are not as skilled as the black belts, the cost and time savings brought about by the involvement of the green and yellow belts can produce instant results that can translate to the above five key benefits defined in this write-up.

Are you Eligible for the PMP Test? 7 FAQ’s Answered



The very first step towards PMP® Certification is certainly to determine when you are eligible for the PMP® Exam. As per PMP® Handbook the PMP® Certification eligibility requirements are:

·      A university degree plus 3 years (at least 4,500 hours) of project management experience
OR
·      A high school diploma plus 5 years (at least 7,500 hours) of project management experience; 

       AND 

       35 Contact Hours of project management education

Most PMP® Certification Aspirants cannot judge whether they are eligible for the PMP® Exam with the above two requirements as there are a lot of myths and misconceptions. This post aims to clear the roadblocks in your PMP® Certification journey

Common questions on PMP® Test eligibility

1.    I am not working as a Project Manager. Am I not qualified for the PMP® Test?
A.   You are absolutely eligible to take the PMP® Test. The fact is PMI does not limit the PMP® Certification for people titled with project manager, all professionals tasked with project management responsibilities overlooking the project from initiation to closing which meet the minimum number of hours/duration would satisfy the requirement.

2.    I need to submit details (e.g. project management plans) for the PMP® application.
A.   False. PMP® application is trust based. PMI assumes that all PMP® Certification Aspirants are telling the truth. PMI chooses a small portion of applicants for audit as a last resort to safeguard the quality of PMP® Certification.
Even when chosen for the PMI audit, there is no need to provide project details or documents as these may be confidential. PMI asks for only the signature of your supervisors/colleagues to verify your project experience.

3.    I am unemployed and I cannot apply for PMP® Certification.
A.   Not true. Every project management professional with at least 3 years totaling 4,500 hours (for degree holders) or 5 years totaling 7,500 hours gained over the past 8 years are eligible to take the PMP® Exam. Yet, if you are unemployed, you stand a higher chance to pass the PMP® Exam as you can devote more time and efforts into your PMP® Exam studies than your counterparts. Getting PMP® Certified will increase your chance to find a great job later on.

4.    Getting PMP® Certification is very expensive.
A.   PMP® Certification Aspirants can get PMP® Certified without breaking the bank as PMI does not require students to purchase expensive textbooks. It all depends on how well you spend your money wisely on PMP® Exam prep courses and resources.

5.    I need to take a project management class in a classroom in order to satisfy the 35 Contact Hour requirement.
A.   Not true. PMI allows PMP® Certification Aspirants to take classroom courses, online instructor-led courses or even pre-recording on-demand PMP® courses to fulfil the Contact Hour requirements. PMI recognizes the qualifications obtained through these means equally.

6.    PMI application Audits are difficult to pass.
A.   If you tell the truth in your PMP® Application, there is no need to fear about the PMP® Audit. However, it is highly recommended to contact your supervisors (in particular your previous supervisors if you have included working experience from your last jobs) while filling the PMP® application form to reach mutual agreement on your project hours.

7.    Student projects while studying at universities are valid working experience.
A.   False. PMI only considers project management experience from work. You will need a supervisor to validate your actual working experience for you. Your university professor cannot.


If you still have PMP® application questions not answered, please ask your question in the comment section below. We will answer them ASAP.

According to PMI, by 2020, project management practitioners can expect to see almost 16 million new project management-related job added to the global workforce. Most of these new jobs are expected to crop up across seven primary industries: business services, construction, finance and insurance, information services, manufacturing, oil and gas, and utilities.

However, you'll also find certified PMI professionals working as project coordinators, project schedulers, project management office directors, or managing projects for top-tier accounts. PMI-ACP certified practitioners frequently work as Scrum masters or agile project managers.

More experienced practitioners, such as PgMPs and PfMPs, often find themselves managing and directing multiple programs or developing and managing strategic corporate portfolios. PMI-PBA certification holders frequently work in policy planning or business analyst roles. Project management professionals interested in managing and reducing risk may be attracted to roles such as value-based engineering coordinators/project managers or regulatory implementation and compliance.

Using Exam Simulators for PMP Exam Preparation



Taking the PMP Exam could be one of the most important and tough things you will have to do. The prep time requires you to be highly focused on your studies, various study guides, books, mock exams and training videos for the final exam. However, on the day of the exam, you might find yourself “not prepared” to apply that knowledge and perform as expected. This is because exam preps are more than just studying… it is having a game plan, an exam taking strategy, and knowing what the questions are actually asking?? And not getting overwhelmed or ahead of yourself.

These skills are something no book or training video can teach, as they differ from person to person and every individual has to come up with their own game plan and strategy for the exam. The best way to learn how to apply the above and discover your plan is to use exam simulators.

The PMP Exam Simulators create an authentic PMP Examination environment and puts you in the middle of it to give you an idea of what the actual exam will be like. The questions are structured like the real exam and you will feel like it is actually the big day, so you will have a real and accurate idea of where you stand in terms of your preparation.

PMP training/certification packages offered by Global-Teq Training Academy, offer a complete step-by-step prep plan which includes training (on-site or online), case studies, chapter tests and formula guides. These are all based on and integrated with the latest PMBOK to help you prepare for the final exam. Included in the above is an exam simulator, which you should take after you have taken all other steps and are thoroughly sure that you are ready. However, please do not expect to be perfect on your first try. Exam simulators let you take several complete exams so you can keep trying till you have perfected your exam game plan/strategy. You will see your improvement with every test you take, hence don’t be discouraged and treat it as a learning experience.

Some GOOD Benefits of PMP accreditation


You must have visited the PMI website and checked out the information on different Project Management Professional (PMP) credential requirements. Also must have noticed that the exam process is lengthy and that the fee for the exam can be heavy for an entry level participant. Keeping all that to one side, you should have heard over and again that obtaining a PMP credential can enhance your career. So, what are these benefits that everyone keeps asking and talking about? Here are some to help you..

1. PMP Credentials will put you ahead of the competition

We are sure you must have gone through the process of obtaining the PMP Certification, you have a uniform/patterned knowledge set and the accreditation to prove it. While applying for a job against stiff competition, having the credentials in hand will put you ahead of those who do not.

2. Exclusive Know-How will benefit the organization/company

Since you have gone through the certification process, you will have learned a regulated/uniform set of project management best practices to execute in your own company projects.

3. Higher Pay

As per surveys by different institutions, PMP certified project managers receive an average starting salary of $90K/annum. Additionally, overall PMP credentials could gain you a 20% increase in salary over other project managers (without PMP credentials) with similar qualifications.

4. Great Networking Potential

Once you earn your PMP credential, you will be in touch with many others working hard to pass the PMP credential exam. Furthermore, you will be put in touch with those already holding PMP certifications. The benefit with networking, you never know who might help you obtain your next job? The more people you make contact with in your field, the easier it will be to find a job you want, when you have to move on.

5. You can Help train others

Since you now have the specialized training on how to get a PMP credential, you will be in a better position to help and teach others the tools of project management.

6. You can Evaluate Potential Employees and Team Members

Let's face the truth upfront, we have all had teams… that for whatever reason did not work together as a cohesive group. Once you get a PMP certification, the advantage is that…. you will learn important skills that will in turn help you to evaluate whether or not that potential team member will be able to work well with everyone.

7. Look at Greater Job breaks/opportunities

Just like any other profession, project management is a field with some great job opportunities only available to those with PMP certification. In fact, there are about 20% more openings available than the number of employees with credentials - that sounds GREAT, isn’t it?

8. Lot’s of Efficient Projects

You will have more efficient projects because having a PMP certification hands you a set of tools to utilize in building them. You can improve the efficiency and productivity in all your project experiences.

9. You will gain Invaluable Experience

Since you will be working under various situations you may not be familiar with in your own work environment, this will help gain experience on how to solve complex and diverse project problems.

10. Career Switch made easy

Are you looking to make a career switch?? PMP credentials can help you to do that. By gaining a credential where you might lack years of experience, you can now start at the gates with a higher position and hike in salary than you would have been capable of otherwise.

11. Challenges that help

Having said all that, just getting that PMP certification will not be the easiest thing you will do in your career. It will challenge you in a good way. It will help you gain self-confidence, knowledge and network connections you may not otherwise have.
