The human side of PMP
The experience was much more detailed than I'd imagined. Having me initially apply to sit for the exam made me understand the depth of knowledge that supports the PMP certification. Other certs I've taken have been a few hours for me to complete, nothing like this one. In the end, my happy, green "pass" made me feel like it was a true accomplishment. The human side of project management is wonderful. Finally! I am a Change Manager from the human side, and an Experience Designer, as well. This is critical and I'm thrilled that PMI gets it and is implementing, and enforcing this concept. At the end of the day, processes can be looked up and plans can gather dust on a hard drive. It's the humans who have to understand how it all comes together. One recommendation: It would've helped my confidence going into the exam if the Study Hall mock exams mirrored the actual more in format. For example, the mock exams didn't break down the 3 required units, it only broke down the tasks, leaving me not understanding if I would have passed. Thanks for the feedback loop!
