Agile: A Layman's Guide

4 Levels of Study for the PMP Exam FREE COURSE: http://pmp.pmradio.org BOOK http://immersion.pmradio.org PODCAST http://study.pmradio.org Iterative Learning and the Importance of Layered Understanding Introduction Do you know that you may have been studying for the PMP exam wrong all along? Trying to tackle everything all at once, instead of breaking it down into smaller, more manageable pieces, is not the most effective approach. Just as we use the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to decompose projects, you should apply the same principle to your PMP exam preparation. This iterative learning process, where you paint a layer of understanding each time, is crucial for truly mastering the material. I've been teaching the PMP for nearly 20 years, and one fundamental truth I've learned is that information needs to be layered to stick and make sense. You have to be comfortable with a high-level understanding before progressively delving deeper. It’s like painting a fence – you can't expect the entire syllabus to fall into place in one day. Instead, you build your knowledge layer by layer, with each iteration reinforcing and expanding upon the previous one. It's said that people need to hear things seven times before they truly grasp them, and this principle holds especially true in the context of PMP preparation. When it comes to project management, understanding the interplay between people, process, and business is vital. This hybrid approach applies to Agile, Predictive, and Hybrid frameworks alike, each requiring a distinct focus on these three pillars.

Join the PM 360 Revolution: http://360.pmradio.orgThe PMP certification is well-regarded in the field of project management, but it does have some drawbacks. Here are reasons why you might decide to hold off on getting PMP certified:Preparation Time: The PMP exam is challenging and requires dedicated study time. You'll need to invest weeks or even months in studying to be successful.Maintenance: Even after you earn your PMP, you'll need to fulfill continuing education requirements to maintain it. This involves earning professional development units (PDUs) every three years.Application Process: There's an application process to go through with PMI to be eligible to take the PMP exam. This involves documenting your project management experience.Not a Job Guarantee: While the PMP is a valuable credential, it doesn't guarantee you'll land a project management job. Experience and other skills are still important factors.Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to pursue PMP certification depends on your individual career goals and circumstances. Consider these drawbacks alongside the potential benefits before you decide. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pmpradio/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pmpradio/support
