@Sunny, I'm really glad that my video and Cheatsheet Guide are helping you with working on your PMP Application! The PMI Membership can be helpful since it will decrease the costs of your actual PMP Exam Fee, and you'll be able to access the training webinars on PMI's website for PDU Credit, and digital .pdf downloads of the PMBOK Guide and other references.

My apologies on the super late response on this - the outcome is whether the project was successful or not (think of this as the results that the project achieved). The deliverable is tied to what was produced or created as a result of delivering the project to the customer (for example - a physical tangible product, a software release, or a service). Hope this helped!

You're welcome! 👍

Really glad you found the video helpful for filling out your application! I had experienced the same challenge as well, since some projects typically might have the same processes and scope. What I did differently was that I gave a little bit more detail with how my projects were executed - for example, specific issues that may have arose during design or testing, and risk mitigations that our team implemented to developer a higher quality product for our customer. Hope this helped!

Good luck with writing your PMP Application, feel free to share this video with anyone else you know who might find it helpful

So glad you found the video helpful! No, it isn't risky, because you'll specify that your Role was the Project Lead (in your Project Description), but your Job Title is a Design Engineer (in the box that you fill out). As long as you specify this explicitly in the form, you'll be fine. I did this as well with my application (I was an Engineer, but still led & managed projects), and I was not audited by PMI.

Thank you Alvin, this clarifies my doubt and thank you for quickly responding.

Really glad that you're finding the video helpful! Here's my feedback: 1. Just be sure that these are not 'internships' but are actually projects you've led as part of your Professional working experience (meaning, after you've graduated from the University). 2. As long as you can demonstrate experience across all 5 Process Groups when taking into consideration ALL of your projects, then you should be all set. In other words, you don't need to have managed every project through Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing. For example, it's okay if you only led one project from initiation to monitoring & controlling, but not closure. However, you'll need to have listed at least one project showing that you led a project during its Closing phase.

@@alvinthepmofficial Thanks a lot for your detailed reply...you are doing a great job by the way, keep it up :) SALUTE

@@mohammedelabbasy6453 Absolutely, you're very welcome!

Really glad you found the video helpful, I'd recommend making a best estimate of your true start & end dates

@@alvinthepmofficialthank you so much.

I haven't personally used the CSM training to qualify for my PMP Certification. But, from reading PMI's requirements on their website, it seems that, as long as you can show that you meet the 35 hours of project management education/training from a provider, then you should be fine. Just make sure that you have a Certificate as proof, in case your application gets audited.

Since PMI only allows projects you've led within the past 8 years, I recommend focusing your project management experience from the past 5 years or so, if possible. Good luck!

PMI does not require you to have experience managing all three types of approaches. So for example,, if you only have Waterfall experience, you could list that for all your projects, and vice versa for the remaining approaches, and that would be accepted on your PMP Application

If you can demonstrate 3 years of experience on your application that you actually led or managed projects in your professional career, then I'd encourage you to go for your PMP Exam. For example, I had worked as an Engineer previously, but I still used my Engineering projects as experience on my application, because I had led and managed projects. I used that experience in my PMP Application and my application was accepted by PMI. If you still need to get the experience with managing projects, then I'd recommend going for the CAPM Certification, since it doesn't require any experience in project management. Hope this helps!

My pleasure, good luck with writing your PMP Application Bryan!

I recommend only listing out the projects that you have project management experience in. Focus on including ONLY the projects you have the highest confidence with writing our your mini-essays in your PMP Application (But make sure that it also meets PMI's requirements). Hope that helped!

what u did

@raechelboston, I struggled as well differentiating my projects on my own PMP Application. What I did (and what I recommend) is to describe different Tools & Techniques you used for each project. For example, brainstorming to generate ideas for prototypes and leading customer interviews to obtain feedback on the prototypes. That way, the projects you list on your application won't sound 'exactly' the same. As long as you follow the guidance in my video and Application Cheatsheet, you'll be on the right path to success! Hope this helped!

@Atheer, for the Outcome, I recommend stating what deliverables have been completed thus far and emphasizing that the project is still in-progress.

Your reference does NOT need to know specific PMI terms. They need to be able to vouch for your project management experience, if your application is selected for an audit.

Victoria, that's correct, the Company that you list is the one you were employed at. Hope that helps!

@Vida, If possible, I encourage you to filter all of your projects and choose the projects which are the longest in duration, and also the ones which you've demonstrated experience across all phases of the project's life cycle (Initiation to Closure). I had this same issue myself, and I narrowed down my projects to only a few projects. Just keep in mind that if you have a large handful of projects (let's say, for example, a qty of 12 projects), then you will have to write 12 "mini-essays" for each of your project descriptions. If you're able to choose projects which lasted 6 months each, then you should have about 6 projects to list on your application. Hope this helps clarify!

@Ajayi, You'll need at least 3 years of experience managing projects in your current job in order to qualify to take the PMP Exam, and 35 hours of project management training.

Thank you for your prompt response. I'm currently out of work now, Can you please guide me through what and what to do to qualify?

I would recommend it, because it will be much easier for you to write out your Project Description describing your roles with that project for each stage of the project's life cycle. Just be sure that your entire application includes projects you've led through ALL stages of the project's lifecycle, including closure. Hope this helps!

@@alvinthepmofficial Thanks for the response Alvin. Should the application have experience in leading at least one project at all stages of the life cycle or can the experience of every stage come from different projects? E.g. Project 1: Initiation, Planning ; project 2: Execution, Monitoring & controlling and Closure

@@joraroar I recommend choosing projects that demonstrate your experience across as many stages of the project's life cycle as possible. That way, you won't have to write as many "mini-essays" on your Application

@Urvindar, for your Job Title, state that you are a Senior Software Engineer, but that your role is the Project Lead. That way, it's explicitly clear to PMI that you were the one responsibility for leading the project.

@@alvinthepmofficial Thanks a ton! Because I WANTED TO KEEP THE THINGS VERY CLEAR

After your application is approved and your exam fee is paid, per PMI's website, "You may attempt the exam up to three times in one year in the event that you don’t pass."

@@alvinthepmofficial thank you good sir.

@Naveen Kumar, From what I can rememember, when you schedule your PMP exam, you have the option to select what language you would like to take your exam in.

@Rain Rain, Make sure to specify what the course title is and the exact provider name. Usually, most course instructors on Udemy have an actual association or company name that you can list for the Provider name. Hope that helps clarify!

@@alvinthepmofficial thanks a lot.

Really glad that you found the video helpful! I'm not currently offering personal coaching at this moment, however, if there's a specific topic you need help with, send me a message here: www.alvinthepm.com/contact/

@@alvinthepmofficial Sure!

@Casey Calara, it's based on the number of months in your application. (Previous years, it was hours based, but this is no longer the case). If you have a 4-Year degree, than you will need 36 months of experience leading projects within the past eight years. Refer to the video for more detail. Good luck passing your PMP Application!

How much minimum numbers of month are considered as valid project duration in PMP application

If PMI selects you for an audit, then you will have to have your point of contact verify your experience and, you'll also have to submit your certificates. How has writing your PMP Application been so far?

@Indraneil, you'll have to make sure that you have a solid 36 months of project management experience (assuming you already graduated with your 4-year degree), as you will need to specifically document this on your PMP Application. Check this out on PMI's website for detail: www.pmi.org/certifications/project-management-pmp/earn-the-pmp/how-to-apply For more detail on what the application looks like, check out my step-by-step video tutorial for what to expect by watching this video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbF8nqpe1bqoXYk.html

Hi My case is almost similar for few of projects Not sure if we could count these as projects Did you fill application?

I'm not quite sure what your question means. If I'm reading your question correctly, here's my recommendation - to make sure your application qualifies for the PMP Exam, I'd encourage you to make sure that you can document actual experience with leading and managing a project through all phases of a project (Initiation to Closure). Hope that helps!

@Jonally, I recently created a FREE PMP Bootcamp Course that walks you step-by-step with how I recommend solving each PMP Question and mastering the Agile basics. If that interests you, you can access the course here (it's completely free): www.alvinthepm.com/bootcamp/ Also, as another free resource, if you'd like to check out the notes I have on the PMBOK 6th Edition for supplementary material for each Knowledge Area, you can definitely do so - they're still listed under the CAPM Section of my website: www.alvinthepm.com/capm-exam/

That's right, you can omit your 2nd job experience if it isn't as relevant to your experience leading projects. Just make sure that all the experience you list on your PMP Application is related to how you manage and lead projects (predictive or agile), and that they are non-overlapping
