All projects are really about change. Let 's take my favorite project of all time: the pyramids of Egypt. Images a suffocating desert with miles of sand, snakes and other scenes from a film of Indiana Jones. Add some one million workers, some large programs, some mummies appalling and you 'the VE has obtained the pyramids. All right, so my story is a little oblique, but I think you see my point. In the first place was nothing, then, after a certain design and execution, there were the pyramids. Which method to project management think the pharaohs used? Importano? I don 't think so.       The project management is project management       Erik Larson 's book of the devil in the white city: murder, the magic and madness at the fair that changed America (publishers of the top, 2003) is an incredible read about Chicago that plays host exposure of the 1893 Colombian World – also known as the Chicago World 's right – and the story of a terrifying murderess who lives in Chicago at the same time.       The victories and failures of project management within the World 's stars, was incredible: discussed above where the fair should take place, the visions of what the fair should offer special intransigent landscape and (my project favored) the creation of the Ferris wheel.       The book says nothing about which method of project management, who is organizing the right choice. Import? I don 't think so. That 's my real point. Realmente matter which method to adopt project management?       In project management software, some flavors have snapped and rest according to the radar project management for years, the melee and the Far programmanti last two being the most sugoso, as well as other models such as manufacturing, six sigma and even planning thin top of the rolling.       But here 's what I think: The project management is project management. I don 't think that amounts that method take to complete your projects – until completion of your projects.       We could discuss the virtues and on the positive attributes of all the different methods of project management and go each other as fans of the Chicago Bears and packagers of Green Bay. But really matter at all?       Again, I say no.       I don 't care what you like. I don 't care for that method of project management say is the best. I don 't care what you think my approach to project management. I only care about you use what method gets the job done. I 'm that is not criticising anyone 's favorite methodology (or fillers, for that matter). I think just there 'trend of S.A. to fall in love with the processes, activities, forms, reports, diagrams of control and theories. Great freakin 'deal. Find what works for you, for your organization and then ago.       The project management is about getting the job done. The project management is about getting from here, to launch the project, to a sense down there at the close of the project. The project management is about getting the results. Using the model of SMEs       Which method used in project management? I abbono the management of projects Institute 'body project management s (SMEs) to knowledge (PMBOK). It 's the way I' VE presented in the previous articles in this series. The accumulation of these five groups is also known as IPECC: starting, planning, executing, monitoring and closing. Here 'recapitulation of S.A. each group: Â Start. A project is found feasible, a Director project is selected and the letter of the project is generated. Â design. Well, gee, I wonder what people do in this group? Yeah, plan how the project should go. The design is an iterative group that allows the Directors of Project and personnel involved in the programme rivisitino as needed. Â Execution. You 'VE has designed the work, now your staff to the program last work. Run the program project, not personnel involved in the program. Â Control. You aren 't going to leave your staff to the program worked helter-skelter, are you? You 'the VE got to control the work to ensure that' s done it according to the program. Â Closure. As a work project is complete, so you and the client must verify the services and then reduce the finances of the project, reports the team and the educated classes.       All projects without regard to their model, moving from start to quit.       Now think about this: You 'll find of the five treatment groups in any of the methods for the management of projects that are currently live in the world. Or, devils, even the methods that aren 't live longer. Can 't you see the Egyptians go with IPECC for their pyramids? The really think you have named each group by the words we 'the VE today assigned them? Probably not, but I bet they made some of the same actions as we do Directors Project. (Well, maybe not the same actions – though they may use the work of slave, had reason to offer to their members of staff involved in the programme that can 'use of t: Functions or die.)       And what about IPECC the World 's right example by the devil in the white city? As I read the book, I could actually see the passage of the project with IPECC.       Here 's a digression: You may argue that the 1893 World' s wasn 'right t a project, but actually a program – a collection of projects working together for a common cause. The fair had voluminous projects: construction, modific the terrenoare, exhibitions, transportation and more. Each project under the programme has gone through its own IPECC. Each project was independent, but all projects depended upon each other to ensure the success of the fair.       Again trade: Professional Certificates       So what has made me fall in love with SMEs' method of project management s? Gradico think that I 'm a type logical. In addition gradico think I 'm the not balding, has a great sense of humor and can cook a steak media – but that 's beside the point. To me, SMEs' s method is the most logical, most of the method of forgiveness to the management of projects. It was also the project management I learned of meaning, so that was easier to accept their method and see how it can adapt to the whole model of project management.       SMEs provide certification of professional project management. If you 'the VE been around the IT world for the past 10 years, you' experience with the VE – or blown up close – the plethora of certifications that the alleged help to earn more, demonstrate your value , Test your knowledge and add the letters behind your name.       The certification has become big business. Looking this place. Looking the web. Browse through your local library. There 's even a compartment voted certification. I 'm sure I don 't need to say more about the certifications generally but let me say specifically about the MPP. Firstly, it 's not the certification of protector. I get this continually: THEM: 'Ha-ha, Joe. You 'with reference to a protector certificate. Ha-ha. ' ME: 'Yeah, funny.' Graceful; THEM: 'Ha-ha, Joe. You 'with reference to a protector certificate. Ottengalo? PMP? Protector? Where 'Your teeth are gold and purple dress? ' ME: 'Yeah, enough fun. How 's your mother? '       You 'll have the same after that conversation you' the VE has heard this' ha-ha 'for bilionesima time.       Not everything can take the exam. To earn your certification PMP, you must first qualify for the exam. You must demonstrate training and the hours of experience and pass an exam of 200 questions. After the examination, carried out your certification gaining the professional development units (PDUs) with continuous training and participation of SMEs.       Once submitted your question, there 'probability of SA SMEs that will verify your qualifications training and experience. This means that you 'll must provide the contact info for soprintendenti shown, proof of training declared, and your format of the skid.       Applicants must qualify for PMP for examining MPP.       See that as this certification is different from those from Microsoft, CompTIA and others? It 's more than just your control that removes the bank. There 'process of weeding S.A.       Have you noticed that I said that these currents are the requirements? Scommettevo you have made. The certification PMP will change September 30, 2005. The new certification requirements focus on these key changes: [pound] Qualifications of the examination. The new exam will require candidates to document the experience of management of specific projects, as the conduct and management of project activities. This is not a current requirement for certification of PMP. [pound] Documentation of experience. Now you don 't must provide the names and numbers of soprintendenti of projects you' the VE direct – unless your application gets tested. Once the new examination becomes available, you 'll must provide the contact info on all of the experience of the project. [pound] Checks and review. SMEs promises that all new applications increased pass through a process of revision. And if you 'with reference to one of those lucky to get tested, you' ll get the instant notification that your application is verificanda. Oh, joy. [pound] Go sign. Now, the sign of passage for examining PMP is 68.5%. On further examination, you 'need 81.7% of ll switch. Now, you need just 137 of 200 questions correct. On further examination, you 'll the must respond correctly to 141 of 175 questions. But get this – a total of 200 applications, 25 applications but don 't count towards your sign of way. These 25 questions are pepper during the examination to verify their validity for potential use in future examinations. [pound] Three strokes. If you don 't passage of the new PMP exam within three attempts, you' re out. That 'right of S. The new examination of PMP is good that candidates will have three chances to pass the exam and then, they 're done for.
