Re: My wife is planning to get her PMP
Comment by lamont29 · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsI don't know why anyone with any experience in the field at all would say the the PMP certification no longer has value... that's just not true at all. There are plenty of jobs out there that REQUIRE the PMP in order for you to even apply for the position. All of the advice on here is not GOOD advice! -
Re: My wife is planning to get her PMP
Comment by JoJoCal19 · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsI definitely wouldn't say the PMP holds no value, but DatabaseHead is spot on in that companies are running (not walking) away from the Waterfall method, and towards Agile (or some form of it). Companies definitely do ask for the PMP, but I've also seen them adding the Agile/Scrum certs in there as well. And it's not just… -
Re: My wife is planning to get her PMP
Comment by DatabaseHead · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsPMP is for project managers who have been in the trade for a while. No offense but this is why this certification is no longer viewed as being "valuable". I would suggest taking courses from Coursera or another provider and learning the methodology, process, tools etc..... -

Comment by za3bour · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsI don't think the certificate is as valuable now as before it is however still popular and still requested by companies/recruiters.

Re: My wife is planning to get her PMP
Comment by datacomboss · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsI definitely agree about the bloated documentation. The PMP is more valuable for me because it is a JOB REQUIREMENT as it is in many large organizations. I manage data center programs and projects and I use waterfall, scrum and kanban. They're tools that I use to get the job done depending on the situation. -

Comment by lamont29 · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsHave her go to the PMI.org and register to become a member. This can be done without passing the PMP. Then there are various volunteer opportunities available. If she does a good job there (while accumulating hours) she might get offered a job as a project coordinator... that role counts as well as the volunteer hours.… -

Comment by TheProfezzor · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsGetting the PDU's is the easy part. The easiest I could find was this training here. It's a good training, offered by a PMI accredited source. Now comes the experience part. The whole point of being a PMP is to have the skills and the experience to showcase competencies in Project Management. This can only be achieved by… -

Re: My wife is planning to get her PMP
Comment by DatabaseHead · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsThat's anecdotal at best...... Any IT shop worth their weight in salt have moved to some derivative of agile. GANTT charts have been replaced by Kanban boards and long planning cycles are no longer tolerated and have been replaced by the 2 week sprints. Anyone who has been in app development knows this. With the business… -
Re: My wife is planning to get her PMP
Comment by DatabaseHead · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsOP Sorry for partially being responsible for hijacking you thread, this will be my last post on this thread. There are a couple of different ways of looking at this. I'll retract my statement and reinstate it by saying: The PMP not as valuable as it once was and in the future will become even less valuable.
