Does EY not offer training / a bootcamp? It’ll be expensive and difficult to manage your schedule without it…
I’ve considered it just to get a more sound understanding of project financials (I’m assuming that’s covered with PMP) but I’ve also heard that it’s becoming obsolete now that everyone wants their PMs to be scrum masters/SAFe practitioners
Right now, being SAFe is worth your time than being P*MP.
I took it in 2008. I purchased some books first to become familiar with the methodology. Then I did a bootcamp. This order was successful. Had I done the bootcamp first, I wouldn’t have retained as much.
It teaches mainly Waterfall. Having done projects in both Waterfall and Agile, I can tell you, elements of Waterfall are still necessary and critical, such as charters and communication plans. This has been lost where companies try to run Agile as a methodology rather than a framework.
I have to get 60 pdus per cycle (3 years) and am always behind (1 yr grace period). I feel the PMP is complimentary to my experience, but I don’t think anyone ever chose me *because* if it. Ironically, I always end up doing a significant amount of PM in my jobs, even though I haven’t had the title of PM since I got my certificate.
I did get audited, so don’t try to exaggerate on your application. You need to think back on projects and classify them. They asked for signatures to prove I had done the work. Ultimately it is worth it if you want to be a good PM.
Yes, no
