Quote: I have seen many things
Blade Runner (Shown in this scene: Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer )
Question: Which company is known for its famous: Book of Lessons Learned?
Answer: * The Boeing Black Book Question : Do you have a site where you can quickly find Lessons Learned at your company? *Citation: The Art of Project Management , Scott Berkun.
A great way to help your company: Tip : You could start a Lessons Learned Intranet or Lessons Learned Database for your department.
How Can the PMI Skills / Certification Help You? Answer: Resume (a very good reason to get the certification!) The PMP ( Project Management Professional, from PMI ) is the leading and most portable certification for managers on today s job market.
Why the PMI Skills / Certification? 1) PMI currently has > 300,000 members (trending up) 2) Applicants often need the PMP just to get an interview 3) Some companies hire conditionally (e.g., give you 6 months to get the certification) 4) Some companies look to certify a lot of their people so they can out-compete other companies on bids e.g. Our PMs are PMP-certified.
Q. Why the PMI Skills / Certification? Increase your Project Batting Average
Q. Why the PMI Skills / Certification? 3 questions : Q. What percentage of projects fail? Q. What is meant by OTOBOS? Q. What percentage of companies are consistently: On-Time? On-Budget? On-Scope?
2 Statistics: From a *Price Waterhouse Coopers study of 200 global companies... More than 50% of all projects fail, and Only 2.5% of corporations consistently meet their targets for Scope, Time, and Cost. *Cited in: Alpha Project Managers: What The Top 2% Know That The Rest Of Us Do Not , by PMP Author Andy Crowe.
Q. Why the PMI Skills / Certifications? The PMP material is NOT a methodology Its an agreed-upon* collection of: Knowledge Areas, Processes, Best Practice Tools & Techniques, Terminology (Common Language) *The PMBOK 速 standard is updated every 3 to 4 years by PMI (member-driven, non-profit org.)
Why the PMI Skills / Certifications? You learn the COMMON LANGUAGE spoken by managers in today s PM world. Standardization on terms / documents can help prevent: Miscommunication, Errors, and Re-work.
Why the PMI Skills / Certifications? Students gain New Skills which can lead them to New Career Paths
You learn << Repeatable Processes >> Which enable you to manage: More projects More people (More promatable) Why the PMI Skills / Certification?
Question: What are the 9 PMI Knowledge Areas? Integration Management Scope Management Time Management Cost Management Quality Management HR Management Communications Management Risk Management Procurement Management
But theres also a 10 th area: ETHICS! Major change to the PMP Exam Aug. 31, 2011 Increased emphasis on: Ethics & Social Responsibility.
Whats the big deal about Ethics? Ethical problems can have a huge impact on a companys bottom-line. Thousands of jobs can be lost tied to an ethics error. Question: Recent example in the news? Pensions wiped out. Recent example? Clients funds evaporated . Recent example?
My book and PMP classes put a strong emphasis on Ethics A hands-on chapter: Ethical Considerations PMs Face On The Job Includes a unique 1-page summary of the PMI Code of Ethics (which I created with PMIs express permission) Cornelius Fichtner interviewed me on my books Ethics Chapter for The Project Management Podcast (Episode #169)
