The Governments across the Globe are spending huge amounts in software projects to adapt E-Governance for delivery of services to citizens. But Software’s Chronic Crisis still exists due to less skilled Project Managers. There is an urgent need to train them and they should go for PMP to prove thier proficiency. I am also looking for case studies from more informative real-world situations.
Would like to learn more of PMP

PMO is now gaining importance in engineering service industries.Hope I can bring in a plaform to manage the engineering offshore design and analysis projects.
The project leaders are in demand and PMP qualified professional can be a smart project leader.
I don’t know much about PMP certification offered by PMI but I do know that it is the one of the standards of Project Management very similar to PRINCE2, I suppose.
It would be great to have it as podcast on my mobile.

I am looking for a low-cost method to study for PMP certification. I truly enjoy PM and look forward to furthering my career.
With all the Agile methodologies around, I think it is high time we start re-looking into the traditional Project Management methodologies (plan-driven) and enhancing them to fit the current global scenario.
Though this is the case, PMP certification is a very good first step for any Project Manager in this direction.
Looking forward to complete my PMP certification by E2007.
Thanks for giving us a chance to get a PMP certification. I really want learn as much as I can of PM. I’m planning to have a PM job in the future. I have many questions and know that PMP certification will be very useful for me.

One of the most valued credentials in project management, the PMP credential assures employers that you are committed to project management. I helps the managers to align their management skills in line with the PMI procedure and processes.
