Everybody likes positive feedback....I am not an exception

Aby,

It was a very good workshop that I have ever attended. Personally it was a great success just because of the fact that I had successfully completed the workshop without dropping out. I have always been a drop out for most of such training and workshops. MBA classes, personality development workshops,etc., to name a few. The reasons were either because I will lose interest owing to being a poor listner or because the training classes lacked good content, communication and professionalism. The very fact that I have been able to put up a stoic attentive composture, for the very first time, during the three days of the workshop (July 17th, 18th and 19th) indicates that I was very comfortable listening to you and learn. I liked it.Good work.

Best Regards-Siva

Tips on PMP certification by Pratap K Sahoo PMP

Dear All/Team, Dear Abby/Chinmay,
Thanks to all for congratulating me.

Yes , of-course ! It's my pleasure to share my success.I think following things can be the better way of passing the PMP exam in first Attempt.(I cleared on Nov-6th, with total exp of 4.7 year)
Priority No1:Whether or not a candidate is into project management its better to study from:
1) Start preparing Question / Answer. Try to attempt all available Questions/ Answer.(This will give a general idea).2) Try to visualise (no need to remember all, if possible then its good) all Input/Output of each Process Group,and its tool & technology...
2) Remember all Calculations / Formula, e.g. EV,PV,AC,CPI,SPI,BAC, ETC,EAC,VAC ,BCR ,BCWS,BCWP,its very easy , just remember.(I got more questions on this approx (15/20)4) Go for simulation software (any) just to acquaint yourself with the pattern ,also give you a strength for sitting constantly 4 hr in Exam.
Priority No2:
5) PMBOK Guide atleast twice, with remembering 5 KA, 9 PG.(no need to read all , bcz few are reapeated like I/O , tools & techniques.6) Study Material Abby/ Rita Mulcahy PMP Text book.


Imp questions: i) What happen if (CPI +ve,,SPI -ve) / (Both -ve )/ (Both +ve) / (CPI -ve,,SPI +ve). ii) No of communication channel , for n number of team members. iii) What are the type of Handling Conflicts. iv) Selection of a project , ireespetvive of IRR,BCR,NPV. v) Maslow Hierrachy/Herzberg Thery(Theory X/Y)/Douglas Mc-Gregor Thery. vi) Type of Management Style(6 types, e.g autocratic/leissez faire/democratic etc). vii) Conflict Intensity . highest --> Lowest (e.g Schedule , Priorities, then Manpower , .... at last Cost) viii) Five interpersonal Influences of a successfull PM.(e.g Legitimate,Reward,Penalty , Exper, Referrent) ix) Forms of communications. x) Try to understand Professional code conduct & responsiblity( its different from real Life)
Since all questions are situation based, we have to have enough understanding of issues.
Hope this might be usefull for you.I believe the plan to study should come from ones Job Profile, time availability, Liking , and Own way of remembering,reading habit.
Please let me know for further info , for this exam, at any time, i am available to answer you!

Let me admit that filling up the current application form for PMP examination is a tedious process. It takes lot of time to fill it up. I found these links very useful, hence publishing it here.

PMP question and answers

Question

How many months ahead of the exam I need to register with PMI ?
Can I do it myself online or do I need to sent hard copies documentsto them?

Answers

It is not necessary that one need to be a PMI member for taking PMPexams. The number of PMPs wordwide are more than the PMI members asof now. This explains it.Once you gain 35 contact hours (pre-requisite for writing the exam),the exam can be written within the next 8 years. That means your 35contact hours earned is valid for 8 years.Experience have taught us that, all those who have become a PMP, onthe first go itself, have attempted the exam within 40 days ofcompletion of the course (while the lessons are fresh in the mind)While applying for the exam, you need not send any copies of yourcertificates. Sometimes your application may undergo an audit (randomselection). In that case, PMI may ask for the copies of thecertificates (including experience certificates)

Trust this clarifies.
