Re: Thread tracking my PMP study plan
Comment by N2IT · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsFinished the Communication Knowledge Area. On to chapter 11 Risk Management. This one is the hardest for me to understand. I don't know what it is about Risk Management, but I really have to read and reread to grasp the concepts. On page 273 in the PMBOK I should finish up by the weekend. Still debating on my study… -
Re: Thread tracking my PMP study plan
Comment by onesaint · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsI don't think you're feeling sorry for yourself. Taking on massive abstract topics like the those in the PMP can be a huge undertaking. Without regular affirmations stimulating you, it can seem like a daunting task. Having a mentor/peer like your manager (and us awesome TE folk) to back you up and affirm the difficult… -
Thread tracking my PMP study plan
Discussion by N2IT · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsA little history, some of you already know.I took the exam the 1st time in November I believe and failed. Not by a whole lot it seems, but failed nonetheless. So I have revised my study plan.I originally just read Rita's PMP Exam Prep. That helped out a ton, but wasn't enough.

Re: Thread tracking my PMP study plan
Comment by Turgon · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsThis is a good thread. Im a little surprised that you dont get more responses to this thread, but on reflection maybe not. There was a feeding frenzy on PMP as there was on CISSP from about 2003 onwards while people disconnected from the tech bubble burst and tried to move into management functions. PMP and CISSP numbers… -
Re: Thread tracking my PMP study plan
Comment by u033736 · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsHang in there! I was lucky enough to pass the PMP exam my first try but I had studied for months and months. I used Rita's and the PMBOK, made study guides, etc. I used every minute of the allotted exam time. It's a tough one. Best of luck. -
Re: Thread tracking my PMP study plan
Comment by N2IT · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsJust finished chapter 9 Human Resource Management knowledge area. I have quite a bit of experience with that knowledge area so it went rather quickly. It really aligns with operational management, which I have some experience in as well. Next is communication management, I might bang it out tonight. It all depends if the… -
Re: Thread tracking my PMP study plan
Comment by Turgon · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsBit of a ghost town on this thread huh? About 2003 you would have been swarmed with replies as so many techies tried to sideways move into PMP. Many did. PMP numbers, like CISSP numbers went through the roof, but I think a lot of cert holders had marginal PM or security experience at best at the time.. Nearly ten years on… -
Re: Thread tracking my PMP study plan
Comment by onesaint · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsI've toyed with eventually going after the PMP (with more PM experience). Seeing what your up against, with your certs and experience is an eye opener. None the less, your progress and determination are very inspirational. Like Turgon said, keep up the study time consistency and you'll nail it come the end of March. -
Re: Thread tracking my PMP study plan
Comment by N2IT · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsI'm kind of burnt on the book so I have decided to start taking practice exams and looking at mind maps and process flows of the PMP framework. I will get back to reading, but it's almost like information overload so I am attempting to try to learn another way and burn the proverbial candle from both ends. -
Re: Thread tracking my PMP study plan
Comment by N2IT · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsPlan on knocking out Cost Management in 15 mins, well at least starting on it. There is a lot less material than Time Management so I should be able to knock it out at lunch. I should finish up Risk Management via Head First PMP books tonight. I am already halfway through the chapter.
