How do I satisfy the 36 months project management requirement for PMP exam exactly? Like what counts exactly and how do I even prove it? I work as an engineer but I am a lead for multiple small scale projects but since it’s small scale I don’t really have to have robust project scope, charter, plan, etc. So does that actually count or no? If so, how do I even prove it? What are the other requirements beside the 36 hours of pm experience and 35 education hours?

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does.

Hello Everyone,

Hi everyone,
I passed my PMP thanks to this sub group.
I have passed Above Target in the People section, and T in the other sections.
It was 95% situational questions.
Thave used AR's mock exams, and used my wrong answers to figure out my weakness and where I truly stand. I didn't purchase AR's course, just the mock exam simulator.
The 200 agile questions by David McLachlan were amazing, it really helped me in adapting to an agile mindset. TIA simulator n Joseph Phillip is useful.

I have a project management analyst position open in my office. Please DM me if interested. Location is Dallas
