PMI CAPM Certification

shared by dmcboggws on 19 Jul 12 - No Cached

    As students of project management, we learn how PMI's Project Management Professional Certification (PMP) is the ultimate PM industry certification to obtain (with which I agree). The PMP is a great goal to reach for, however, most students of project management are nowhere close to meeting the eligibility requirements necessary to pursue the PMP. You may or may not know that PMI has another option for entry-level project management professionals called the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM). The CAPM is appealing because it serves as a much more attainable stepping stone in our quest for the coveted PMP. - Duncan McBogg

    This article is relatively old (2002). Nonetheless, it contains timeless tips to ensure eLearning success, particularly with regard to managing stakeholder expectations. -Duncan McBogg Abstract: Leading a major e-learning or blended learning initiative is a relatively new, complex and high-stakes challenge. Success depends on a variety of factors, not the least of which is the project leader's ability to manage threats in the form of miscommunication among key constituents, excessive rework, missed milestones, cost overruns, poor quality deliverables, etc. To help ensure the success of your organization's learning initiatives, consider how you might apply these proven tips:

It is an introduction to Kaizen - a philosophy developed by engineers while manufacturing cars at Toyota. It basically involves continuous improvements in all stages of any process with every small improvement making its own contribution to the final process.

    I was researching information on writing an effective business case when I came across this blog. It's written by a practicing PM, which makes it interesting to me because I'm not officially a PM. The author's posts cover a variety of topics that are informative and interesting, and she gives a lot of helpful tips about project management. I especially like how she tags her articles and gives them simple titles, which makes it easy to skim over the pages and find something that piques your interest. Also, the articles are a good length for quick information-gathering.

    I found the five trends really interesting as they fly in the face of what we've been doing in this class. I think that everything we learned has value but with such drastic changes and approaches taking place it makes you wonder if the focus we've been on is in the wrong areas?? Anyway, I also came across this for Top 10 Trends in PM for 2013 which is similar in some ways: http://www.itbusinessedge.com/slideshows/top-10-trends-in-project-management-for-2013.html

    Perhaps this is an obvious post, but I still run across people who don't have a searchable, organized or unorganized online notebook, notepad, or repository of anything and all things you want to remember or keep track of. I've used it for smaller projects, to contain all of the lengthy articulations that are then hyperlinked to more formal Word documents or Excel charts. It's a phenomenally useful tool.

    I agree, there aren't a whole lot of tools out there to stay organized like Evernote. I use MS One Note for the same type of folder organizing and also for passwords etc.
  • desireepina on 29 Jul 13
     
    On the surface and quick glance, Evernote is like Pinterest but for your life :-) I am going to have to try it and see if it keeps me a little more organized!

    I need a tool like this. How long was the learning curve? Do you have any tips for getting started? Pitfalls? Thanks.
  • melissagarrett86 on 15 Mar 14
     
    I love Evernote because it's accessible from several mobile devices. I especially like their app (I'm using Android), because it's easy to use and fast. You could add multiple people to the account and share checklists, wiki-like notes pages, and calendar items. I'm not sure it would be ideal for huge projects with many parts, but it would be perfect for organizing a small collaboration or just for organizing your own work.

    Michael, Thanks for sharing this app and your experience with it. This tool sounds just like the tool I need to track and remember all my pending tasks.

    Definitely good reminders for the workplace! It reminds me of a coworker who had the "reply all" button removed form their email accounts at her previous company because people just couldn't help themselves from over using it. These are good rules to pass around every once in awhile :).

    I think we take for granted, because we have all been writing emails for a while, that we know how to make them effective. I would definitely share this at work!

    Michael Greer's site that composes a list of questions as the project moves along. It starts with identifying lessons learned from other projects in order for the team to be refreshed for the new project.
  • Marshall Stanley on 29 Jul 13
     
    I liked the idea of preparing responses in advance of a face-to-face meeting. That gives people the opportunity to reflect and provide quality answers.
  • lewis648 on 30 Jul 13
     
    These are good suggestions, but I think it would be even better to also instruct team members to jot down issues and solutions as they come up. I find that when we wait for a debrief after one of our huge events, many of us recall some of the problems that came up over the past months, but not all. There have been many times we've sat there looking at each other saying "what was that thing we had to deal with a few months back?" Sometimes we remember, sometimes we don't. Or conversely, we remember the problem, but didn't document exactly how we solved it and have to recreate the solution in the following year's event. So definitely something to be said for documenting feedback in the heart of the matter rather than in a recap, and reviewing the list in the recap meeting rather than trying to reconstruct it then.
