@boloase, which of the certifications do you have? Before you could be certified, you are supposed to have at least 3+years working experience in project management or any industry related experience. However, I can help you in gaining experience. Call 07063968047

I have read a lot about project management on this forum.
But my advice is this if all u want is a certification to boosts ur Cv then I don't really think
Project management is for u.

I think its high time we start learning to get certifications in areas where we have our strengths
but if u need info in writing project management I suggest u contact the APM group.
www.apmg-international.com
Get their contact details and send them an email. Stating all the questions. They will reply u with details.

Hi

Every project is a challenge, but if you have tight deadlines, limited funding and are short of resource then you may have a tougher challenge than you think! To help you succeed, read these tips on,

How to Deliver Challenging Projects

There are 5 classic signs of a "challenging" project. We’ve described them below and offer you advice for managing them:

Tight Deadlines

If your project deadline is practically unachievable, then here's what to do. First, try and get it delayed. If you can't, then immediately replan your project so you know by how much you will be late. If it’s more than 10% then try and find more resource to help you deliver it more quickly. And if you can’t get the resource, then reduce your scope. Identify non-critical deliverables and get your sponsor to agree that you can complete those deliverables after the deadline has passed.

Otherwise, you need to revisit the tasks in your plan to see if you can produce the same deliverables, with less tasks and effort than before. Use these project management templates to save you time and effort completing project tasks.

Limited Budget

If your budget has been cut back, then try and find another sponsor in your business to provide the additional funding required. If cashflow is the problem, then negotiate with suppliers to take delayed payments. Use internal resource rather than external contractors, as they are usually cheaper. Rent equipment rather than buy. Re-negotiate with your suppliers to reduce their deliverables and therefore, their costs. And lastly, reduce staff overtime and offer them unpaid leave when they have down time.

Resource Shortage

If you don't have sufficient resource to complete the project, then take these steps. Review your deliverables and ensure you focus on the critical ones first. Try and find people in your business who can be succonded to your project, without you being charged. If you can't, then you need to work incredibly smart. So take time out each day to prioritize your tasks and ensure everyone is spending their time wisely. Work extra hours if necessary, but don't burn out. You can only work smart if you’re "as fresh as a daisy".

Scope Changes

If your scope is constantly changing, then you need to nail it down. Start by identifying the tasks on the "critical path" and sticking to them, regardless of the change requests that arise. Identify your project priorities and get them approved by your sponsor. Make sure each priority is linked to a business objective, so that they are harder to change.

Being a Super-Hero

Does everyone expect you to be a super-hero by delivering your project with less time, budget and resource than you need? If so, don't worry - it's normal. The trick is to manage people's expectations, by under promising and over delivering. Keep people well informed, so they know what you'll deliver, how and by when.

By taking these tips, you can deliver challenging projects with a smile, and gain a reputation for super-hero like qualities!

The training ranges between N70K and N100K. While the examination itself costs $555 for non PMI members and $405 for PMI members.

Hello Guys,

I got my 35hours in 2010 but I havent gone to sit for the PMP for two reasons:

1. I know the theory, but little or no practice using the PMI framework.
2. I do not work in a Project Office yet.

Is there a way that I can gain valuable practical training on the various stages of a project, including how to use Microsoft Project (which was conspicuously missing from the 35hours training), Something like a bootcamp?

I have great need of being an effective project manager as there are a few big projects for me to handle. Any good help will be welcome, chimmygran@yahoo.com. Thanks!!
