I am a member of a
few groups on the social media site, Linkedin.com. Recently, a member of the group called
"Project Manager Community" asked the following question : "Does
having a PMP state you're a better PM compared to one that doesn't have this
certification?".
So far, there are
more than 110 comments and they are still continuing to be added.
My answer was to
comment that it is not just the qualification, but that it must be combined
with experience to make a good PM. The
depth of knowledge that the PMP exam makes each candidate understand is far
superior than any other PM exam that I have seen, or indeed taken. Each candidate must know the PMBoK inside out
and understand the complexities and dependencies of project management.
