Thanks. Was it useful? I just want to make sure that the time to study and initial cost would be worth it

Why would you get it? Most of the people I know who have the PMP have been unimpressive.

Good point. People seem to recognize it as a validation that you can perform certain roles, or ask for it as an asset.

Along with consistent project management experience, Federal clients use PMP as a reassurance that you know what you are doing and can follow an established process

I did it so I can say I did, more of a personal validation. RITA book sucked. Took a class and passed on my first try.
