RE: PMHUB-G Updates to the Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification Exam

Very interesting…….  Does anyone have any idea as to WHY PMI is putting the burden of creating the project charter on the back of the project manager instead of the project sponsor?  Why should it be up to US (as PM’s) to try to figure out what is in the head(s) of the sponsors? 

 

Professionally, I think this is a step backwards……..  You know what this is setting up……. When the project “fails” the sponsors are going to be blaming the project manager for not asking the right questions or discerning what it is they need or want…….

 

To draw an analogy, you go into your doctor’s office and instead of starting out by telling the doctor where it hurts or why you came into his/her office, it is going to turn into a game of “20 questions”….  And shame on the project manager if he/she fails to ask the right questions…..

IMPORTANT communication, source: PMI webpage: http://lnk.co/pmprev

 

The Project Management Professional (PMP)^® credential examination will be updated in 2011, based on updates to the professional role of a PMP^® recently found in PMI’s Role Delineation Study (RDS).

What do I need to know about the changes to the PMP credential and examination?

·         The process for updating the PMP begins with the RDS, which is now complete. Learn more about the RDS.

·         These updates to the role do have an effect on the examination questions for the PMP, and will be reflected in the PMP examination starting 31 August 2011. Regular communications about this change will continue until the PMP examination change on 31 August.

Where can I find PMP update resources?

·         If you are preparing training or courseware for people who plan to take the PMP examination after 31 August, you can access a complimentary electronic copy of the PMP Examination Content Outline, formerly titled the PMP Examination Specification.

·         If you need to communicate about the PMP update within your organization or community, be prepared by reading our frequently asked questions (FAQs).
