PMHUB-G 2 keys for IT PM Success

IT projects have some very notable differences from construction projects, generally owing to the fact that technology is changing so quickly that it is not easy to just graft an approach to previous projects onto new types of projects. There can be a learning curve across the board on new types of IT projects.

…which brings me to the two simple but critical factors to be a successful IT project manager…

PMHUB-G Road map to your PMP

"Want to be a PMP? First thing you should do is to treat this as a project. Today is your start date and setup a target date. Many managed to pass the exam within 2 months. Nobody can tell you what your target date, should be- so ponder on this and then analyze your strength and weakness - in studying and in meeting your target."

PMHUB-G 12 ways to earn PDUs

"PDUs we need and PDUs we want. Professional Development Units (PDUs) dominate our minds, our conversations, and our spare time in the last quarter before our Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) deadline. With a little proactive planning we can all make the PDU procurement process much easier. The bottom line is that we want the fast and consistent path to our PDUs… and we want them now!

How do we accomplish this? By just 'doing' what 'you do'. The easiest way to earn PDUs is to leverage what you currently do. Here is a short list of PDU eligible activities that might already be part of your professional life."

PMHUB-G PDU from Self Study

"Self-directed learning is a Category C activity that covers a wide range of topics. Professional Development Units gained this way are an easy and cheap way to top up your total. Self-study is something that can fit in around your other activities – and you may even find yourself doing it as part of your day job!"

PMHUB-G How to get your PDU for FREE

"Dear Friends,

The enclosed summary and attached one-page "printer-friendly" guide reflect the changes to the recertification program(s) implemented by PMI on March 1, 2011.

The guide was developed in response to the following question posed by a very successful executive: "If a PMP or PMP candidate will waste his/her own money on pedestrian education and/or training, how careful are they likely to be with somebody else's money?"

PMHUB-G How is PDU categorized .?....

"As a PMP certified project manager you have to earn 60 PDUs every three years to recertify your credential. Each PDU will "cost" you 1 hour of your time. It may sound daunting to think of spending 60 hours on earning PDUs over the next three years but it's actually very easy."

PMHUB-G Earning 37 PDU and a new Certificastion

"First let's look at The Agile PrepCast if you are currently PMP or PgMP certified. The content is completely dedicated to Agile related topics which are not part of the PMP or PgMP certification process and as more and more companies start to utilize Agile practices these lessons will most likely become more and more relevant in your day to day work. The Agile PrepCast can provide a PMP or PgMP certification holder with the opportunity to greatly expand their knowledge of Agile while earning PDUs at the same time."

PMHUB-G 6 steps to PDU.....

Step 2: Review the online CCR System

Every PDU earned needs to be reported through the Project Management Institute's (PMI)^® online CCR System. You can report your PDUs through the CCR System, print a copy of your PDU transcript, review PDU category limits, and see your progress towards recertification. The best way to understand the CCR System is to check out the system for yourself. You can find it at https://ccrs.pmi.org/

PMHUB-G Bartyon Miranda journey to PMP

"I began my journey into taking the PMP exam well over a year ago, when I decided to take a 5-day PMP bootcamp without having any sort of gameplan. I retained little, if any, knowledge at the time because I wasn't planning on taking the PMP anytime soon and didn't commit to any real studying of the material, given work and other commitments."

PMHUB-G So what next after PMP?

So, for you, it will be great to leverage your PMP certification, to apply the principles, to show you know your stuff, perhaps to advance or move crosswise to another interesting and lucrative career position. But perhaps there is more that you can do to keep up, and even accelerate, your career momentum.

PMHUB-G The 12 Most Popular PMP Exam Preparation Tools

First, don't be overwhelmed by the choice. The tools that your colleagues and classmates are using may not be the right ones for you. How do you learn best? Choose study materials that will help you prepare for PMP certification in a way that best suits your learning style. You'll also want to consider your budget. Don't feel that you have to buy really expensive exam preparation tools. There are products on the market that are both efficient and cost effective. Reading what other students have to say about the study tools they use can also be helpful: check out independent review sites.....

PMHUB-G Nabi's PMP LL

Two years back, I joined many PMP groups just to gather the info regarding the exam. And I was silently following mails from you people. I read nearly 40 or 50 LL?s and most of them I read more than once and noted down important things. Somehow felt this has helped me a lot. When I took membership, I didn't have any questions, by then, I knew what exactly was needed to cross the line, .....

Know where your exam site is. If you live far away from the exam site and can't drive by, make sure you have reliable directions and know if there is construction on the route to the Prometric Test Center. Allow for plenty of time to get to the site without causing yourself unnecessary additional stress.
Remember to have your two forms of identification because you will need to prove who you are in order to take the exam.
Do not bring too much stuff with you. You will have to lock everything up because you can't take anything into the exam room with you
