In the 6 years that I’ve been a PMP I’ve never formally used it. With that being said I found it interesting and learned a couple of good tools that I’ve used. Some will say that it died at the hands of Agile. I would more say that it is a tool best used for certain repeatable tasks. So, if you want to learn ways to manage a known process it can be great. If you want to develop the new and unique I would suggest learning more about Agile.

I view it as a check the box type of achievement. If your firm will pay for a class/review material and the test why not. Won’t hurt you. I do see it as a requirement for management level positions on some RFPs from time to time.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad.
