This is not how a project management professional behave.

If you're contemplating a PMP certification, you're already a high-performing individual who aims for continual personal & professional improvement (only the most motivated of us will better ourselves through training/education). YES - the PMP qualifies your experience as a project manager to those who don't know you or your work history. The certification definitely opens doors, and will lead to a MUCH HIGHER income in the years to come. Get it done! Best of luck.

Hi, thank you for this great video, now I am changing my career and I started google PM courses I want to know if I can work in PM field online only as a freelancer or not

I did my PMP few years ago. Since then, I have seen it open more doors for me - most PM roles say 'PMP preferred' -making it that much easier to get my resume picked up. After that what I got paid was mostly based on how I interviewed and negotiated. PMP certificate is another tool in the kit - it is up to you how you benefit from it.

Thanks Tushar! It really means a lot to have that feedback.

I was Project Manager for over 15 years making great money without a PMP. I finally got it. What I realize is Larger Fortune 500 companies dont really care if you got it. They want someone who know their stuff. Going the Agile way by getting a Scrum Master or SAFe certification is the way. PMI change their curriculum because Scrum Alliance and SAFe were taking their customers. This message was to encourage you that you still can make 6 figures without a PMP. Its good to get one because some companies love it but not all.

Emma, this was a wonderful video, thank you. I have been a PM for 6 years now and hold the PMP, PMI-ACP, and PMI-RMP (along with two certifications from the Scaled Agile Framework and two from Scrum). Looking back, my PMP journey was a huge leap forward in my career because it allowed me to truly understand my profession from various perspectives. It also equipped me with the ability to work within any manner of PMO and to do so fully understanding all methods and frameworks. Another thing I will add is that I have never paid for my PDUs. I have used "giving back" (working in my function as a PM practitioner as well as volunteering for PMI), reading plenty of books on PM risk management, or attending PM chapter events. One should not have to spend a dime to fulfill PDUs. My next thing will be to write a white paper on a PM topic, and that activity also generates PDUs.

Thanks for sharing. Useful advices.

The best-paid PMPs have a solid technical background. In fact, they have worked in the tech industry in some capacity or another. It is so easy to gather requirements and at times to write the requirements without having to infringe upon the technical resources' time. I have been in the tech industry for 23 years, and I often find myself challenging techies as to what needs to be done and how long it will take to complete a task; speaking from personal technical experience. However, the quantifiers are important as well ie. Numbers. Most project managers only have a broad, shallow, technical understanding of what is actually happening behind the scenes. They also lack the ability to question the resources as to why they have met the deadline for any given deliverable. Best advice: Obtain at least one technical certification. Start with AZ series exams. Example AZ-900 (Microsoft Azure Fundamentals).

I just got my PMP a week ago now I'm a little different in that I have my Masters so I got it to enhance my resume. That being said I will say its worth it not only for the knowledge but for the doors it opens. I live in the DMV (DC,VA,MD) area and there are tons of jobs that require it. Depending on what you want to do and whether you have a clearance or not will usually dictate salary. I would say it is well worth the journey although I will say that what you learn via PMI and what you do during your job may be different but the concepts will give you a solid understanding. One last thing, PMP does travel so it is recognized literally everywhere especially globally the only limitations are what you set for yourself.

I got my PMP a few years ago and here is some tips if you are scared of failing.... Study so long you are absolutely sick of studying, especially the areas you are the weakest. Find the junkiest test banks you can find. Challenge yourself and prove or disprove their answers with how PMI would view the correct answer. If you can get through junky questions, you will be better prepared for test taking strategies on real questions. And you will find real questions to be much easier. Do not memorize the formulas. Learn them through practice and understand why the formulas are the way they are. Understand what the solution means in an example. I passed with exceeds expectations on the first try. I had an hour of left before I turned it in. I don't say that to brag. I say all that because those are the strategies I used. They work! If I can do it, YOU CAN TOO! You don't need luck because you got this!

Great informative video! I recently graduated with my BBA with focus in operations and supply chain management and haven't had much luck landing a career. I might have to earn this extra certification to better my chances. It's sort of a shame that a bachelor's degree alone is meaningless in today's world.

The test (back in 2019) involved quite many analytical thought processes but overall, I think the PMP is for those who can see the “big picture.” As for the benefit, I saw a 40% salary increase. I got a new position with a bigger company that took it into account. What are your thoughts on Agile and Lean Six Sigma certs? Do you plan on pursuing those?

Hey, just wanna know how you did PMP without the PM experience. What industry where you in and for how long? Also, do you have other qualifications? I ask because I have CAPM but no experience in PM.

Hi Damaso - That's awesome! Congrats on getting through it all and that fantastic pay increase. I see Agile becoming more important, but see the certification as paying off for those in really specific roles or those interested in really specific career paths. As for six sigma, I started my yellow belt for lean six sigma with the intent to complete a green belt. For me, I like the focus and education opportunity but am still in the process of determine ROI.

Could you elaborate on “putting events together”? I’m in the event management industry and do see a lot of correlation, and am hoping I could use this experience.

@@natashajarvis2737 agreed. The requirements for PMP are years of experience and so I don't know how that person did it without them.

As an engineer should i get PMP or CEMP (Certified Professional in Engineering Management) ? I worked two times as a project co-manager and usually a team leader or a supervisor and i wanna improve my skills and career.

I'm PMP as well in Brazil, civil engineer. And the most important thing in my opinion is the environment that you are in. Notice that she was surrounded by PMP professionals to work with. This is a high value! It's a systemic issue to get recognized.

My girl, I just got rejected from 4 entry level PM positions because I dont have a PMP Certificate. You can even see that Assistant PM job openings ask for it. It’s ridiculous.

That is so frustrating! I’m sorry to hear that! Keep on keeping on & good luck 👍

should you get your CAPM and go through the hours for the classes, inorder to get you PMP. I want to understand the process not just shot gunning the cert. Wondering if a PMI Basics>CAPM>PMP is good or makes no sense?

My experience is that most companies requiring a PMP have no idea what it means. They do not understand, for instance, that the organization has to be quite project mature or else they will look at the PM following the methodology like they have a third eye. I find I have to do a lot of teaching for my teams and stakeholders so they understand what I’m doing and why. I also know PMPs who really don’t know how to implement the framework. They get the theory, but it’s really not enough. I find PRINCE2 is better for tailoring the process to the type and size of project, and for the organization to understand the process.

@alergictosnow - thanks for sharing your thoughts! For employers who don't realize what comes with the PMP certification, they may be missing out on an opportunity to leverage that experience to grow their PMOs or standardize their project management. Even so, it's interesting to see the number of employers who still list PMP as a 'preferred' qualification. Thanks for watching!

@@dunn1375 Yes, the experience that you outlined would definitely qualify for the 36 month PM experience for this PMI requirement. You should also call them to confirm- you can tell them what experience you have over the phone and they’ll let you know if you qualify or not. But I’m sure you will.

I am contemplating wether to get a CPA, CMA OR PMP. Totally different, but i want a license or a certification that is globally regarded and attainable with not extreme work and effort.
