Vaibhav Behere, Project Manager, India
"What value does PMP certification add to your resume?
Do companies prefer PMP certified professionals over those that do not possess it?"
 
  Value of PMP Certification on your Resume
hari, India
"Hi Vaibhav, a PMP certification is always a value addition on your resume, since most of the companies mention or require PMP in their job descriptions.
On the other hand, companies also recruit candidates without PMP if they have relevant experience."
 
  Importance of PMP Certification
Vishwadeep Asthana, India
"Hello Vaibhav, PMP certification is like a high school certificate, which becomes a must when you are in the project management field. It not only adds value to your resume but gives an impression about your progressive nature in terms of your job profile. It is a must have certification for any project management professional, irrespective to which industry you belong to."
 
  Value of PMP Certification on a Resume
RAMAKRISHNA PRAYAGA, India
"Hello Vaibhav, this certification is a way of expressing a PM's knowledge level, within structured-manner in a nutshell. i.e. speak volumes for itself.
An employer while recruiting, ensures that the candidate has deployed every area (possibly) as a part of this vast field of "project management".
It may not always be possible to scrutinize the degree of the knowledge in interview(s), as jotted-down on one's resume.
So I think the answer is yes for your question."
 
  The Value of PMP Certification: Soft Skills are More Important!
Frank, Taiwan
"PMP certification only proves you have some hard skills. To be a good project manager you need to practice project management soft skills too."
 
  The Value of PMP Certification: Only Giving Hard Skills?
Amit Deorukhkar, India
"@Frank: I would like to understand what are 'hard skills'. Doesn't PMP also polish or frisk us on soft skills which a manager ought to possess?
And @hari: if PMP isn't required and experience of an individual is counted, how is that person's knowledge then tested?"
 
  Only Hard Skills in PMBOK Guide
Frank, Taiwan
"@Amit Deorukhkar: Those processes of the Body of Knowledge described in PMI's PMBOK Guide are the hard skills which PMP professionals should learn. Soft skill is the other side of hard skill and never be included in PMBOK Guide."
 
  Practicing Learned Knowledge Leads to Perfection
Purna Chandra, India
"Knowledge is the starting point. But it is the practice of knowledge that leads to perfection and success.
Compared to professionals who learn purely from experiences, and apply unstructured experience in their work, a PMP certified project professional applying his knowledge to project management stands a better chance of success.
Also, experience becomes more meaningful and structured, which contributes to the development of profession and the body of knowledge on the subject."
 
  What Value Does a PMP Have?
Peter Tarhanidis, USA
"Vaibhav, today the PM Institute states that the world is spending 1/5 of its GDP on projects. The demand is noted at 1.2 million new jobs in the next 10 years.
Having a PMP provides two benefits:
1. You attain a independent validation of your skills as a project manager
2. Your organization and society can rely on a world class standard ISO / ANSI methodology is being used to ensure a high degree of successful projects are delivered.
Also, PMI noted there is a global supply shortage on qualified project managers. Gaining the above credential should improve one's access to these positions and achieving success in those roles."
 
  PMP Value Analysis
K.Narayana Moorthy, India
"@Peter Tarhanidis: Normally while tracking the performance of a project work, we focus on two values:
1. A valuation planned work called Planned Value (PV);
2. Predefined ' earning rules ' to quantify the accomplishment of work, called Earned Value (EV).
Project tracking without earned value is inconclusive. These vale are very useful to measure technical performance objectively and quantitatively and that is what EVM accomplishes."
 
  What Value Does PMP add to your Resume
Jean-Michel DE JAEGER, EMBA, PMP, France
"Thanks Vaibhav for this contribution. I can clarify some elements and add some things to your list.
PMP certification is actually by far the most recognized one internationally and there were by the end of 2012 more than 500,000 project managers who passed and succeeded the exam and became certified PMP.
What a long way since the late 90s when I became a memberof this American Institute of Project Management, PMI. Why such an effort, and why is ist so successful? Why such continuity?
Communication, Sharing, Exchange, Aperture seems to me the words that reflect the background of the characteristics of the expected success and achievements.
A final word to understand the value recorded is the professionalization of these project managers who work day after day to the success of this profession and its international recognition. The PMI is a worthy bearer." 30-4-2013
