Project Management Professional

 

An excellent place to start is the Project Management Institute (www.pmi.com), whether you are a guru project manager or a startup. This place provides its stakeholders with a shared understanding of what project management is and what it is not. Many of us have worked on a project(s) and were exposed to different corporate environments with other cultures, norms, and terms, which unfortunately leads to many common misunderstandings between team members.

 

For example, suppose you asked your colleagues or team members their definition of a Project Management Office (PMO). In that case, you will be amazed at the difference in understanding each member has about this common term. That's why we advise you to join the PMI common understanding club and even to earn a PMP certificate that will add a lot to your knowledge gaps.

 

So, how to apply? First, browse to www.pmi.com and read the requirements carefully to assess your eligibility to apply for a PMP (please don't climb the wrong mountain). If your qualifications equal or exceed the minimum requirements for the application, proceed with the next step, which is earning a minimum of 35 hours of project management education (equivalent to 35 Project Development Units or "PDU"). Many people are misled, thinking that this has to be done physically in an educational center, and you will find a lot of centers promoting this idea. The truth is, we have no more time to drive, park, walk upstairs, and stay for almost 8 hours each week to take a crash course to earn such PDUs. Hence, the best way is to receive the PDUs is to acquire them online. In that regard, many options can grant you 35 hours. For example, if you are a PMI member, you can watch videos online, earn PDUs (each video provides 1 or 2 PDUs), join a PMI conference, etc.
