[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the whole need PMP thing. You can literally attend a class over a weekend to get your PMP. [/quote]

Tell me you never got your PMP without telling me you didn’t get it.

You need 35 hours worth of projects under your belt, 3 years experience, and then you have to get it signed off by 3 people who you’ve worked with. It’s quite a process. It’s definitely not “just take a class on a Saturday and there you go” situation. [/quote]

But none of that has anything to do with PMP. Again I’ll say to get your PMP you simply need to attend a weekend class. All the rest can be simply out on a resume, “3 years of experience and blah blah blah.”

As a chief engineer of about 100 software developers I actually judge people that put this garbage on their resume. I’ll actually ask you about it and if you praise it for being so amazing you go directly into the reject pile.[/quote]

I imagine for IT projects you'd be looking for someone with Agile certs anyway, no?  PMP would be nice but less relevant.[/quote]
