My name is Prof. Dr. Frederik Ahlemann and I run the Competence Center
for Strategic IT Management at the Institute of Research on
Information Systems (IRIS) of the EBS Business School in Wiesbaden,
Germany. We are currently conducting a study on acceptance and use of
project management methodologies (e.g PRINCE2, CCPM, PMBOK, O2PM, in-
house developed etc.) by individuals involved in projects (e.g.
project managers, project team members etc.). The study is also
supported by the Project Management Institute (PMI) and PMA-India.
In detail, the following questions are addressed:
i) What needs of users are crucial for PM methodology acceptance?
ii) Based on which cognitive considerations do users decide about
using a PM methodology?
iii) Which characteristics of a PM methodology influence this
decision?
iv) How can users be encouraged to use PM methods as intended by the
organization?
The online questionnaire can be accessed by using the following link:
http://ww3.unipark.de/uc/MA_GEYC
This is the first large-scale international quantitative study via
online-survey that addresses this issue. To understand the cultural
differences project managers / staff from many countries are
participating - e.g. U.S.A, India, China, EU-countries, United
Kingdom, and if possible further Asian and African countries.
I was wondering if it would be possible for you to send the survey
link to your members?. This would greatly help us in collecting data
from various nations and will lead to further insightful findings. We
will natuarlly provide you with all raw data collected and the final
results report.
Please let me know if this would be possible and if you have any
questions or require further documents.
Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

Subject: PMHUB-G FTY RTY problem - are you up to it?
A project manager needs a certain number of identical valve housings for a power station project. He starts with 100 raw items which are made as metal castings. Out of this batch, 15 are found leaking from micro-porosities in a subsequent pressure test. 6 of these housings can be recovered by a special sealing process for raw castings.
The 91 housings are then being machined. After this process step 10 machined castings are found leaking. 3 of these items can also be saved using another sealing process for machined castings.
The remaining 84 housings are getting mounted to the power plant pipework. During a pressure test after this process step it is found that 12 valves are leaking. Out of these a number of 6 valves can be saved by replacing the sealing rings used.
Finally the project manager has 78 valves which he can use. What is true?
Options :
FTY = 0.91, RTY = 0.84
FTY = 0.65, RTY = 0.78
FTY = 0.84, RTY = 0.91
FTY = 0.78, RTY = 0.65

This is an inspiring LL from Radha, getting her PMP the second time around
I achieved my PMP cert in my second attempt on 7/4/2007. My first attempt was on Jan, which was fast tracking attempt and was failure, but score came close to passing score. I was bit disappointed and realised need to have more commitment in preparation.

As a Business Analyst, you bridge the technical or business communication gap between the software development or project implementation teams and the management, executive or business teams.
This distinction means that you have to be wired a certain way for either role.
As a Project Manager, you need to be wired to take responsibility…and take control of the outcome…meaning taking control of resources, schedule, and outcomes.
