Powerfool's PMP Journey
Discussion by powerfool · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsI thought I would go ahead and start a thread documenting my progress with the PMP. It has been a long journey so far, and there is still plenty to go. Following is my background, as that is relevant for the PMP, as it has a daunting experience component: - 13+ years of IT experience - BS in Information Systems - 11+ years… -

Comment by petedude · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsThe Heldman book rocks. I actually used her Sybex PMP book to study for my Project+!! Hers is one of the few PM books that are less likely to put people to sleep. -
Re: Powerfool's PMP Journey
Comment by erpadmin · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsDid you read her Project+ book? Even for me, that was pretty bad...but I didn't know about that IT Project Start to Finish book...in fact, I just NOW heard about that Joseph guy. Having said that, I'm willing to give Kim H. a chance on PMP because she's the "devil I know..." -
Re: Powerfool's PMP Journey
Comment by josetijam · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsI purchased two mp3 review program/courses when I was preparing for my PMP certification (I can't recall the names now). I would listen to them everyday: during my commute to and from work, when I walked my dogs or whenever I had some down time. I found them to be very helpful. I read the PMBOK three times and used Rita… -
Re: Powerfool's PMP Journey
Comment by N2IT · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management Certifications@Erp The term Project Manager has been whored out beyond belief. It disgust me when I see a "PM" manage contracts solely or just do scheduling. I knew of one who literally did updates from a Excel sheet on a shared drive and provide a monthly update meeting, that was it! I stuck with the CAPM because I can honestly say… -
Re: Powerfool's PMP Journey
Comment by erpadmin · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsI am so glad someone else is using the Kim Heldman PMP study guide also. I didn't realize that it would be that beneficial to get any membership with PMI, including student until I read one of the reviews for Kim Heldman's book. He had quoted Kim in her introductory section. When I did the math, it made sense to just to do… -
Re: Powerfool's PMP Journey
Comment by erpadmin · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsPF, I wouldn't be surprised if you passed, though I know you would state if you failed... I'm curious, how did this test compare to your time taking the CISSP? (And before people decide to get cute...I'm not asking about content comparison....) Did you find prepping for both to be similar? How was your comfort level with… -
Re: Powerfool's PMP Journey
Comment by N2IT · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management Certifications@ ERP I'm excited about your journey along with Powerfool. Both you guys will do great I have no doubts about that. i'm in transition yet once again into another position, this one service management by nature. So the PMP does me very little at this point. That's to bad honestly I really wanted to get back into projectized… -
Re: Powerfool's PMP Journey
Comment by powerfool · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsAlright, this has been a complete bust for me. I haven't studied for the PMP since my last post. I have been super busy with work (working additional proposal beyond my daily client duties) and school. Plus, I realized that my exam date coincided with my kids' first day of school. So, I rescheduled last night (for a cost…
