Most frequent questions and answers

Why Should you get a project management certifications

Project Management Certification

Not only organizations prefer to recruit certified professionals but they also get to helm better projects in the future.

About 97% of organizations believe that good knowledge of project management is critical to organizational success. Unfortunately, barely over half of the project managers are certified and skilled in their tenure and career in the project management domain.

Whether you are a veteran or a newbie trying to climb up the ladder,there’s a project management certification for you.

Reason #1: Global acknowledgment

There are famous institutes and online portals like the Project Management Institute (PMI) known to offer world-class education and certifications to aspiring professionals. Once you get a project management certification from a reliable institute, you become qualified to showcase your skills and expertise to companies all over the world. Being recognized and sought-after name in an industry, you get the global acceptance and acknowledgment to work wherever you want.

Reason #2: Dramatic salary hike

Another inviting reason to consider getting a project management certification is a steep hike in salary. In a recent study, it was found that you can expect up to 20% increase in your PMP salary if you are PMP certified as compared to a project manager who isn’t certified. It indicates that a quality project management certification could give a straightaway 20% of salary growth.

Reason #3: Challenging projects and better job opportunities

A project management certification helps you gain the trust of managers to handle challenging projects. As you develop the right skill set, they aren’t afraid or have any second thoughts before handing over a plum project to you. Also, a certification equips you with both knowledge and experience enabling you to get better job opportunities from great organizations validating your credibility to lead and manage projects in a better way.

Reason #4: Better project performance

Certified project management professionals tend to perform better than someone with no certification at all. A certified PM manager is well aware of the processes such as initiation, planning, execution, monitor, closure along with risk management and best project management practices. Such valuable information helps you take the right steps that lead to better performance and boost in overall productivity.

Reason #5: A smart future investment

Considering the fact that these certifications aren’t that expensive as compared to other specific exams or courses, one should never neglect the impact they could have on your career.

For example, you can take the PMP exam for $555 and if you are a PMI member, then it’s for $405. It won’t burn a hole in your pocket. On average, the passing rate is around 60% in most training institutes globally , but at JK Michaels with our experienced and expert instructors , our exam pass rate is 98%. Taking everything into account, it does seem like a smart investment for your career. The best thing is that certified professionals are secure even during an economic crisis, or pandemics.

What are the benefits of Project Management Certification to Individuals and Organizations??

Top project management certifications and Synopsis on JK Michaels Project management Certification Courses

So what is Project

So what is Project?

Projects are most often unique endeavors that have not been attempted before and might never be attempted again. Projects have specific start and end dates. In some cases, projects may be very similar or identical and repetitive in nature, but those situations would be an exception rather than the norm. Because of the uniqueness of projects and their associated activities, estimating the work required to complete the project may be very difficult and the resulting estimates may not be very reliable.

This may create a number of problems and challenges for the functional manager.

Projects have constraints or limitations. Typical constraints include time frames with predetermined milestones, financial limitations, and limitations regarding quality as identified in the specifications. Another typical constraint maybe the tolerance for risk and the amount of risk that the project team or owner can accept. There may also be limitations on the quality and skill levels of the resources needed to accomplish the tasks.

Projects consume resources. Resources are defined as human — people providing the labour and support; and nonhuman — equipment, facilities, and money, for example.

Projects are also considered to be multifunctional, which means that projects are integrated and cut across multiple functional areas and business entities. One of the primary roles of the project manager is to manage the integration of project activities. The larger the project, and the greater the number of boundaries to be crossed, the more complex the integration becomes.

What are the benefits of project management certifications to individuals and organizations?

Benefits of achieving PMP project management professionals certification to you as an individual:

• Provides you with additional portable knowledge, skills, techniques, and tools in order to be more successful in managing or delivering projects and programmes.
• Demonstrates to the employer that you have the desire and commitment to learn and improve themselves and therefore raise your individual profile within the organisation. This establishes you as a continuous learner. Learning is a value unto itself and those around you will respect and admire you for it.
• Enhances career development prospects through having achieved an externally recognised project management certification. It can also be a differentiator against the competition. You are more likely to be considered by employers if you have PMP project management professionals certification against someone who does not.
• Provides an externally wide benchmark of an individual’s project management knowledge and competence.
• You can be a better mentor. The ability to mentor is based greatly on experience, but the best mentors can reach beyond their experience. They are able to reflect on their experience and relate it to someone else’s entirely different experience.

Benefits of achieving a PMP project management Professionals certification to the organisation:

• Best-practice knowledge, skills, tools and techniques acquired through the training necessary to achieve a PMP project management professionals certification are deployed back in the workplace.
• Supports individuals with their personal and career development planning. This, in turn, can result in increased appreciation of, and commitment to the organisation, by the individual.
• Improved capability and competence to deliver an organisation’s programmes or projects, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and reputation, saving costs, utilising resources more effectively and positively impacting morale.
• Improves an organisation’s own project or programme management methods and processes through gaining an understanding of best practice.
• Enhances the credibility of the organisation to own clients and customers through having project or programme staff that have achieved externally recognised certification or qualification.
• External recognition of an individual’s project management knowledge and capabilities indicating a core level of embedded understanding, which is then likely to be applied back in the workplace

Final point REAL-WORLD APPLICATION OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT

In this final, capstone course of the Google Project Management Certificate, you will experience putting your project management knowledge and skills into practice. Learners should complete Courses 1-5 before moving on to the final course since they provide the foundation for completing the exercises in this course.

Throughout this course, you will “observe” a project manager in a real-world scenario and complete hundreds of hands-on exercises. You’ll be able to complete activities like:

– Assess stakeholders and examine project materials for project needs.

– Create a project charter and use it as a tool to ensure that all stakeholders understand the scope and objectives of the project.

– Create a project plan that includes documented and prioritized tasks and milestones.

At the end of this course, you will have built a portfolio of project management artifacts that will illustrate the skills you’ve learned throughout the program, such as managing stakeholders and teams, organizing plans, and communicating project information. These artifacts may be used to demonstrate your professional readiness while applying for opportunities in the field. To help you prepare for project management interviews, you’ll reflect on previous projects, make a “elevator pitch,” and anticipate frequent interview questions. Current Google project managers will continue to advise you and equip you with the strategies, tools, and resources you require to meet your goals.

You should be able to apply for entry-level project management employment after completing this program. You’ll also be able to claim a certification of completion badge that will be recognized by employers.

All federal civilian agencies must recognize the FAC-P/PM as proof that a person meets the core qualifications to conduct program and project management duties.

While the FAC-P/PM training requirements are similar to the DAWIA training standards, they are not identical. Changes to the FAC-P/PM training criteria will be maintained on the FAI website under the FAC-P/PM Certification area, according to the OFPP Memo on Revisions to the Federal Acquisition Certification in Program and Project Managers (FAC-P/PM) from December 16, 2013.

Agency-Specific Certification Requirements: In addition to the Federal Acquisition Certification (FAC) requirements, federal agencies may have their own certification requirements. For more information, members of the civilian acquisition workforce can reference their agency’s acquisition workforce policies, internal agency websites, and/or their Acquisition Career Manager.

The training and experience requirements for each FAC-P/PM level and the IT Core-Plus Specialization are listed in the table below. According to the Opens in a new window Changes to the FAC-P/PM Requirements will be preserved in the table below, as per the December 16, 2013 OFPP Memo.

What is the easiest project management certification?

Consider completing the CompTIA Project+ Project Management Certification, which is an entry-level certification that does not require renewal and is an useful project management certification for beginners. To be eligible, you must have one year of project management experience and pass the CompTIA Project+ test, which consists of 95 multiple-choice questions that must be answered in 90 minutes.

Another option is to complete the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) certification, which is also known as an entry-level or stepping-stone project management certification.

CAPM from PMI is the most popular and widely recognized project management certification, and it also prepares you for the PMP certification, which is highly sought after but needs a significant amount of time and work to obtain. If you are new to project management, CAPM may be the best option for you. To demonstrate your comprehension of the core concepts, terminology, and processes of good project management, you just need less than a year of experience or just 23 hours of training. The CAPM exam, also known as the certification exam, consists of 150 multiple-choice questions that must be completed in three hours, and you must retake the exam every five years. Prince 2 is also of the most straightforward project management certifications to obtain. Finally, if you’re just getting started in project management, the Google Project Management Professional Certificate may be a better option. The assignments and capstone project, which are required to receive the Final certificate, provide this credential an edge above others. It provides practical experience.

The most straightforward project management certificates are the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM), CompTIA Project+ Pince2 Foundation, and Google project management certifications.

How hard are Project Management Institute certifications?

Is Obtaining the PMP® Certification Difficult?
The Project Management Professional (PMP)® credential is one of the first things most employers look for in potential project management candidates. So, how difficult is it to obtain the PMP certification?

You must meet certain Project Management Institute (PMI) requirements and pass a difficult certification exam to acquire the PMP certification. Obtaining the PMP certification is difficult, but not impossible.

Learn more about what makes the exam so challenging and how to get this project management certification by reading our JK Michaels Institute tutorial.

Is the PMP Certification difficult to obtain?

The PMP certification procedure has been designed to be difficult. Not only must PMP candidates complete a number of requirements in order to sit for the exam, but the exam itself is designed to assess your knowledge and skills in every project management-related area.

Is there a known rate of failure?

Although the PMP test is well-known for its difficulty, PMI does not provide detailed information on the passing score or failure rate. According to certain project expert polls, the failure rate is roughly 40-50 percent, which means that only around half of first-time PMP exam takers pass. However, there is no definitive figure for the number of people that fail the PMP exam.

While some sources state a failure rate or a passing PMP score, these are merely estimations, and the majority of them are incorrect. Since the exam is graded using psychometric analysis, there is unlikely to be a strict ratio of correct to incorrect answers to determine whether you pass or fail.

Your exam will be scored by a PMI-approved testing center, which will assess your skills, knowledge, and ability while taking into account the complexity of each question. Your scoring system will take into account the difficulty of your questions, so if you answer all of the simple questions correctly but all of the difficult questions incorrectly, you will most likely fail the PMP exam.

Because each PMP certification exam has a unique set of questions, your scoring procedure will be distinct from that of any other candidate. You may pass if you answer 65 percent of the questions correctly, whereas another applicant may fail if they answer 70 percent of the questions properly.

Check out our website on what to aim for in PMP exam practice tests for more information on the PMP exam’s anticipated failure rate and passing score.

What is the difficulty level of the PMP Certification exam?

The PMP test is both lengthy and difficult. It covers a lot of ground and assesses your ability to comprehend and apply your knowledge in real-world project management scenarios. You can’t just memorize PMP terminology, concepts, and formulas and expect to pass.

The amount of knowledge you must comprehend is part of what makes the PMP exam so difficult. You should be well-versed in the finest project management strategies currently in use. The following items should be included in your knowledge base:

People, Process, and Business Environment are the three domains of the PMP Exam Content Outline (ECO).

There are 35 separate tasks associated with these domains.

In any sector, qualified project managers are required to have a variety of talents.

Predictive (also known as waterfall) project management, Agile project management, and Hybrid project management are all viable options.

PMP formulae and mathematical ideas that are relevant

PMI-approved resources like the A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), the PMP Handbook, the PMP Exam Content Outline, and coursework and other material developed by Premier PMI Authorized Training Partners (ATPs) like JK Michaels Institute cover all of this and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PMP exam questions are difficult because they assess your abilities and comprehension rather than your recollection. You will be given genuine project management scenarios and asked to select the best solution using methodologies, concepts, and artifacts from the PMBOK Guide and other approved resources.

The term “best” refers to the possibility of more than one correct response to each inquiry. If you come across a proper answer, don’t just verify it and go on. You must decide which solution is “most” correct: the most logical, the first thing you should do, or some other factor that makes your answer the best for the scenario.

The PMP exam’s questions may be lengthy, requiring you to study them attentively. This becomes more difficult as the exam advances since you must be patient and concentrated for over four hours. You may also need to filter out irrelevant data in order to focus on what is and isn’t relevant to the problem.

Here are a few pointers to help you with these difficult questions:

To assist you narrow down what information is most significant, start with the last sentence.

Proportionately study formulas. Although the latest version of the PMP exam is not as math-heavy as previous versions, you should be familiar with all of the formulas in order to quickly and accurately interpret any arithmetic problems.

Make a point of highlighting any aspects of your studies that are particularly difficult. If you perform well in all areas but particularly poorly in one, you are likely to fail the PMP exam. Instead, concentrate on mastering the portions that you find the most difficult.

PMP Exam Structure Difficulty

The three project management domains of people, process, and business environment must all be understood. The following is a breakdown of the exam questions for each of these domains:

People accounted for 42% of the test results. This domain consists of 14 tasks that assess your abilities to lead, coach, and manage a project team.

50 percent of the test is spent on the process. This domain contains 17 assignments that test your understanding of project management processes and how to effectively utilize and apply them across the project life cycle.

8% of the test is devoted to the business environment. This domain has only four tasks, making it the smallest domain and accounting for only a minor portion of the PMP Exam. It addresses how initiatives are influenced by the organization that manages them, as well as how they must add value to that company.

Questions about these domains and tasks might help you assess your knowledge of a variety of project management topics. To make matters even more complicated, a portion of the exam is not factored into your result; the exam has 180 questions, but you are only graded on 175 of them.

Exam Duration

There are 180 multiple-choice questions in the PMP exam. On every exam, however, PMI includes 5 “pretest questions” to assess the quality of a question and determine whether it should be included as a “genuine” question on future exams. A pretest question is regarded too low-quality to be a scored question if too many people cannot answer it properly.

Because it’s impossible to tell whether a question is scored or not, try to answer all of them accurately. Some of the most difficult questions may turn out to be pretest questions, but many of the “real” questions are equally difficult.

You’ll have 230 minutes to complete all 180 questions, with each question lasting an average of one minute and 16 seconds. There are now two scheduled breaks, so take advantage of them to use the restroom, get some water, or stretch your legs. You are free to take unscheduled breaks, but the timer will not stop while you are doing so.

Some people begin by doing a “brain dump,” in which they jot down formulas and notes that they can refer to throughout the exam. You can also flag questions for review and return to them at a later time. Some people may find these useful, but others have considered them to be a waste of time, reducing the amount of time they have to work on exam problems.

Don’t worry if you run out of time on the exam: the real examination may be more difficult than the PMP practice tests. Many people have run out of time before completing all of the questions yet still managed to pass the exam. However, you should not rely on this possibility; instead, do your best to accurately answer all of the questions. A single incorrect response can mean the difference between passing and failing.

You’ll need to bring photo identification with your signature on it. Check to see if your identification is written in English or includes an English translation.

Make a note of your PMI code. It’s possible that you’ll be asked for your confirmation code as well.

Dress for the weather, but bring a light sweater or jacket with you. This manner, whether the room temperature is cooler or warmer than planned, you’ll be ready.

You may store water and snacks in your center-provided locker and access them during breaks, even if they are not permitted at your test-taking station.

Earplugs are provided by certain testing sites, but you are welcome to bring your own.

If your test center doesn’t allow you to keep your phone in your locker, have a plan for where you’ll keep your phone and other valuables.

Above all, get a good night’s sleep! It is advisable to take the exam when you are well rested and alert.

Preparation for the PMP Exam in the Morning

You must sign in, produce your photo ID, and enter your PMI code at least 30 minutes before your planned exam time on the morning of your PMP certification exam. If there is a line to check in, it is recommended that you arrive at least 30 minutes before the exam.

If you are permitted, bring everything you prepared the night before your test and get positioned in your test-taking area. If not, find a peaceful, nearby location to settle in and rest.

Summary

The PMP exam is a difficult certification exam that needs a great deal of dedication, motivation, and discipline both before and during the examination. While the test will be difficult, if you follow these preparation recommendations, you will be in a good position to pass it. Use these study and preparation tactics to pass the PMP test and earn this desired credential.

Which one is better project management certification?

Which Project Management Certification Is the Best?
Project managers are in higher demand than ever before.. Global businesses will need to fill approximately 2.2 million new project-oriented roles each year through 2027, according to the Project Management Institute’s 2017 Job Growth and Talent Gap report. Nearly 88 million individuals will be needed in project management roles globally during the next decade.

Skills in project management are in high demand. Obtaining a project management certification is one of the finest ways to demonstrate that you have the abilities and experience that these companies are seeking for. Certifications can also help you earn a higher pay. But, with so many alternatives and many exams demanding a large financial investment, how can you know which project management certification is right for you?

Project management certificates at the top

Project management credentials are available from a variety of organizations across the world, with the Project Management Institute (PMI) being the most well-known. ScrumAlliance, the American Academy of Project Management, and the ILX Group are three other well-known certification bodies in the sector.

The type of project manager you are — or aspire to be — will determine which project management certification is ideal for you. Consider your previous experience, if any, as well as your future career aspirations and any skill shortages in your company or industry that you may assist fill.

PMI offers eight separate project management certifications, the first four of which cover more generalized project management capabilities (listed in increasing levels of knowledge) and the last four of which qualify a more specific skill set:

Professional Project Manager (PMP)

Associate in Project Management Certification (CAPM)

Professional in Program Management (PgMP)

Professional in Portfolio Management (PfMP)

PMI Business Analysis Professional (PMI-PBA)

Agile Certified Practitioner by PMI (PMI-ACP)

Professional in Risk Management (PMI) (PMI-RMP)

Professional in PMI Scheduling (PMI-SP)

The PMP, which PMI refers to as the “gold standard” of project management certificates, is arguably the most well-known of PMI’s certifications. Employers will notice that you have the project management abilities and expertise they need to flourish in the coming decade if you hold a PMP.

A PMP certification can also be beneficial. According to the 10th edition of PMI’s Project Management Salary Survey, persons with a PMP earn 23% more than those without the certification around the world. According to the research, more than two-thirds of respondents’ salaries had increased in the previous year, with 26% reporting rises of at least 5%.

According to some, the PMI’s CAPM qualification (typically considered the next step up from the PMP) pays over $100,000 per year on average. It’s also regarded as a seal of approval from one of the world’s most prestigious project management associations. Many professional organizations, in addition to PMI, offer project management qualifications.

Among the most well-known are:

Scrum Alliance offers the Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) certification, which qualifies persons in the Agile approach.

The ILX Group administers the PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner certifications, which are well-known in the United Kingdom.

The Computing Technology Industry Association offers the CompTIA Project+ certification, which is sometimes regarded an alternative to the CAPM (CompTIA).

The CSM may be a suitable choice for you if you want to show companies that you are an expert in Agile methodology.

PRINCE2 is another widely used project management approach, particularly in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. If your sector or region supports this methodology, it could be the correct certification for you.

The CompTIA Project+ certification does not require the certificate holder to renew their credentials on a regular basis. The CompTIA Project+ certification is valid for life once obtained. This certification is ideal for those who are new to the sector and do not yet meet the PMP or CAPM standards, but wish to broaden their knowledge and competence and
