How the PMP® could help your Career?

by Nereda Haque, PMP

One side benefit of studying for your PMP® credential is that you will feel confident that you know the processes, process groups, knowledge areas, PM roles, tools & techniques and inputs & outputs so well that you will be able to

■ think quickly on your feet

■ be more decisive

■ provide better reports to your boss

■ maintain more effective project management documents, plans and baselines

■ be able to do estimating more accurately and calculate all EVM at a moment’s notice

■ be able to create network diagrams, identify critical paths, add buffers, do resource leveling and schedule compression, and more

■ lead your teams more effectively

■ and the financial benefit is that you could earn more.

Of course this is a short list, and you can probably think of a lot more reasons to get your PMP® credential. Today, it is perhaps just keeping or job. Or if you are unemployed, it will definitely put your name at the top of the stack of resumes.
