[@Vickimer21]

What's the difference between the two questions about outcome and deliverables of the project? Are not the same?

[@alvinthepmofficial]

My apologies on the super late response on this - the outcome is whether the project was successful or not (think of this as the results that the project achieved). The deliverable is tied to what was produced or created as a result of delivering the project to the customer (for example - a physical tangible product, a software release, or a service). Hope this helped!

[@varunvimal9429]

Hi Alvin...Thanks for the great video. I have a question regarding the PMP application project description. I worked in a company for 4 years and I have handled 4 projects in the same company. All the four projects are mostly similar. So even if I think of description I pretty much get the same content because the process and stuff are similar. How do you suggested I fill the project details?

[@alvinthepmofficial]

Really glad you found the video helpful for filling out your application! I had experienced the same challenge as well, since some projects typically might have the same processes and scope. What I did differently was that I gave a little bit more detail with how my projects were executed - for example, specific issues that may have arose during design or testing, and risk mitigations that our team implemented to developer a higher quality product for our customer. Hope this helped!

[@makeittrades5750]

great video, but how would you list your bachelor's if you go it from an online school in less than 1 year?

[@CosmicJockey]

Hi Alvin, your content is great. I just have a question, can I mention projects that I managed 10 years back too?

[@alvinthepmofficial]

Since PMI only allows projects you've led within the past 8 years, I recommend focusing your project management experience from the past 5 years or so, if possible. Good luck!

[@yolo1293]

After submitting the application, and once approved.. should I then pay for the membership fees and exam fees ?

[@alvinthepmofficial]

If you want the discount for taking the PMP Exam, then you should pay for the PMI Membership before you pay to take the PMP Exam.

[@spencerp-o6w]

What if you do not know the Budget?

[@alvinthepmofficial]

I'd recommend putting an estimate in the rough ballpark. If not, then you can put the last option that's in the dropdown menu

[@deepakkumarpanda4691]

Thanks for the video, what if I have worked on more than 10 projects in the last 3 years (none of then overlap)? How do I submit the Project experience?

[@TheCerealHobbyist]

Those who hold CISSP but no degree and looking at PMP - PMI confirmed that since CISSP is RQF 7 and considered a Masters equivalent in UK/EU, it DOES count as a degree (as it should) so you just need 36 months of project experience.

[@alvinthepmofficial]

That's so awesome to hear, thank you for sharing your experience with the CISSP qualifications

[@vinitdarji1041]

Hi Alvin, this video is the best out of all I found on youtube for the PMP application. I really appreciate. My questions is, you have mentioned to write Project lead as role, which I was for the project but my role in the organization was design engineer which is there on my Linkedin and official letters as well. Isn't that risky?

[@alvinthepmofficial]

So glad you found the video helpful! No, it isn't risky, because you'll specify that your Role was the Project Lead (in your Project Description), but your Job Title is a Design Engineer (in the box that you fill out). As long as you specify this explicitly in the form, you'll be fine. I did this as well with my application (I was an Engineer, but still led & managed projects), and I was not audited by PMI.

[@vinitdarji1041]

Thank you Alvin, this clarifies my doubt and thank you for quickly responding.

[@rakiyashamaki1179]

And do i get to purchase the materials to study before registration as a beginner.

[@atheeralanazi7474]

hey there thank you for your helpful videos, I have a question what if your project is still on going didn't end how you will write the outcome?

[@alvinthepmofficial]

@Atheer, for the Outcome, I recommend stating what deliverables have been completed thus far and emphasizing that the project is still in-progress.

[@graceyeung4199]

When we are filling out the type of approach on the projects, do we need to have managed all 3 types - agile, waterfall and hybrid?

[@alvinthepmofficial]

PMI does not require you to have experience managing all three types of approaches. So for example,, if you only have Waterfall experience, you could list that for all your projects, and vice versa for the remaining approaches, and that would be accepted on your PMP Application

[@70Dorthy]

Hi Alvin, do you offer 1:1sessions?

[@ykpr]

Thanks for this video, I have a question on the possible audit of the application. Does your reference have to know all the specific PMI terms ? In my company, the project charter has not the same name for example ....

[@alvinthepmofficial]

Your reference does NOT need to know specific PMI terms. They need to be able to vouch for your project management experience, if your application is selected for an audit.

[@sunnyhuang5464]

Hello, thank you so much for the video and the Cheatsheet Guide. They are really helpful in my conception and planning for working on the application. You did mention something about the benefits of the PMI membership. I wonder if you have further information about that topic.

[@alvinthepmofficial]

@Sunny, I'm really glad that my video and Cheatsheet Guide are helping you with working on your PMP Application! The PMI Membership can be helpful since it will decrease the costs of your actual PMP Exam Fee, and you'll be able to access the training webinars on PMI's website for PDU Credit, and digital .pdf downloads of the PMBOK Guide and other references.

[@rachayeetadutta1446]

Very nice video !! Have a small doubt . Can you please tell me if University projects ( during MBA ) counts under experience?

[@malvikaamin9000]

[@prachikulkarni-jahagirdar2636]

Is exam fee get deducted after ww submit application or after approval ?

[@sherinalamo3392]

Do we need to submit our certificates of education and experience letters/referrences? or the PMI do not review these documemnts unless they will conduct audit?

[@alvinthepmofficial]

If PMI selects you for an audit, then you will have to have your point of contact verify your experience and, you'll also have to submit your certificates. How has writing your PMP Application been so far?

[@orangezeb1785]

Hello, Alvin, how are you? I have mostly BA-related work history for the past 6 years. Can I still sit for the PMP or d'you suggest CAPM? P A competitor's product didn't help me in passing CAPM recently as I strictly did their exam ?'s over and over again 'til I got a 90+%tile. I should have read and re-read PMBOK and their 350-pg slide deck. Thank you.

[@alvinthepmofficial]

If you can demonstrate 3 years of experience on your application that you actually led or managed projects in your professional career, then I'd encourage you to go for your PMP Exam. For example, I had worked as an Engineer previously, but I still used my Engineering projects as experience on my application, because I had led and managed projects. I used that experience in my PMP Application and my application was accepted by PMI. If you still need to get the experience with managing projects, then I'd recommend going for the CAPM Certification, since it doesn't require any experience in project management. Hope this helps!

[@Susanavidlearner]

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation , I have a question, Can I list out only those projects that I have project management or project lead experience or do I need to list all the projects that I have worked on ? For example my recent project I worked as an analyst but prior to the that all the projects I have worked as a project manager , can I skip the recent one and list out all the other projects I had PM experience in or will it raise a flag if I don’t list out the last one

[@alvinthepmofficial]

I recommend only listing out the projects that you have project management experience in. Focus on including ONLY the projects you have the highest confidence with writing our your mini-essays in your PMP Application (But make sure that it also meets PMI's requirements). Hope that helped!

[@victoriapoe6540]

So is "Company #1" where YOU were employed or the client/end-uer?

Victoria, that's correct, the Company that you list is the one you were employed at. Hope that helps!

[@meghanjalisingh]

Hi, I have completed Certified Scrum Master (CSM) in 2019. Will it fulfil the requirement of '35 Hours of Project Management Education'?

[@alvinthepmofficial]

I haven't personally used the CSM training to qualify for my PMP Certification. But, from reading PMI's requirements on their website, it seems that, as long as you can show that you meet the 35 hours of project management education/training from a provider, then you should be fine. Just make sure that you have a Certificate as proof, in case your application gets audited.

[@akanksshab24]

I have been working as client partner and want to take the pmp certificate. But it's not exactly the project, kind of non technical or operations for US staffing company that I work.. how I can explain the same because, it will be the same...

[@alvinthepmofficial]

I'm not quite sure what your question means. If I'm reading your question correctly, here's my recommendation - to make sure your application qualifies for the PMP Exam, I'd encourage you to make sure that you can document actual experience with leading and managing a project through all phases of a project (Initiation to Closure). Hope that helps!

@@alvinthepmofficial thanks Alvin This will be much helpful

[@mohammedelabbasy6453]

Very much appreciated Alvin. Great video. Two quick questions: (1) if I've carried several scientific research projects (as a research associate in a University and as a freelance researcher to another University) in which initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and control, and closing were applied, does this count towards "Project Management" experience?? (2) Also, must I have responsibility in all 5 process groups for each project??

[@alvinthepmofficial]

Really glad that you're finding the video helpful! Here's my feedback: 1. Just be sure that these are not 'internships' but are actually projects you've led as part of your Professional working experience (meaning, after you've graduated from the University). 2. As long as you can demonstrate experience across all 5 Process Groups when taking into consideration ALL of your projects, then you should be all set. In other words, you don't need to have managed every project through Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing. For example, it's okay if you only led one project from initiation to monitoring & controlling, but not closure. However, you'll need to have listed at least one project showing that you led a project during its Closing phase.

Hi Alvin, thanks for the great video! I have a quick question, my projects usually last 3 to 6 months, therfore I will have to list a lot of projects to acount for 36 months. Do you think this will be perceived as problem with my application?

[@alvinthepmofficial]

@Vida, If possible, I encourage you to filter all of your projects and choose the projects which are the longest in duration, and also the ones which you've demonstrated experience across all phases of the project's life cycle (Initiation to Closure). I had this same issue myself, and I narrowed down my projects to only a few projects. Just keep in mind that if you have a large handful of projects (let's say, for example, a qty of 12 projects), then you will have to write 12 "mini-essays" for each of your project descriptions. If you're able to choose projects which lasted 6 months each, then you should have about 6 projects to list on your application. Hope this helps clarify!

That's right, you can omit your 2nd job experience if it isn't as relevant to your experience leading projects. Just make sure that all the experience you list on your PMP Application is related to how you manage and lead projects (predictive or agile), and that they are non-overlapping

[@raechelboston]

Hi Alvin, for the responsibilities section, can you state the same things for each project? Or will that be a red flag? I mean each project would/should essentially follow the same components, correct? ie kick off to close (inititation, planning, execution, m&c, closure)

[@alvinthepmofficial]

@raechelboston, I struggled as well differentiating my projects on my own PMP Application. What I did (and what I recommend) is to describe different Tools & Techniques you used for each project. For example, brainstorming to generate ideas for prototypes and leading customer interviews to obtain feedback on the prototypes. That way, the projects you list on your application won't sound 'exactly' the same. As long as you follow the guidance in my video and Application Cheatsheet, you'll be on the right path to success!

Hi Alvin. Would you recommend using a project in your application that's still in progress if it adds significant evidence of project management experience?

[@alvinthepmofficial]

I would recommend it, because it will be much easier for you to write out your Project Description describing your roles with that project for each stage of the project's life cycle. Just be sure that your entire application includes projects you've led through ALL stages of the project's lifecycle, including closure. Hope this helps!

@@alvinthepmofficial Thanks for the response Alvin. Should the application have experience in leading at least one project at all stages of the life cycle or can the experience of every stage come from different projects? E.g.

Hey Alvin, I have run a Residential Moving company which PMI says counts as a managing projects. My concern for writing my application is that to fill the entire time requirements (which i more than exceed) would be a ludicrous amount of work as most of my work only lasts 1 day. I have done some larger multiple day jobs but in order to properly meet requirements I would have to list hundreds of jobs in my application. How would you suggest I go about tailoring my application to the PMI process? Do you have any thoughts on how many projects I should include when most are only 1 day? thanks for any insight

Hi Alvin, are the work experience based on the number of hours or on the number of months in the application form? Thanks for your help :)

@Casey Calara, it's based on the number of months in your application. (Previous years, it was hours based, but this is no longer the case). If you have a 4-Year degree, than you will need 36 months of experience leading projects within the past eight years. Refer to the video for more detail. Good luck passing your PMP Application!

Hi Alvin, I completed an Advanced Project Management Course that has awarded me 153 PDU's & 81.5 Contact Learning Hours for me to be used when applying for a PMI certification. I would just like to know when applying for the PMP , do I simply just type in the 35 hours needed for the PMP exam by the "Qualifying Hours " section or do I insert the full 81.5 hours that I was given to me? Will PMI know that I have 81.5 hours or do you have to submit that supporting documentation to show that you will still have hours left after applying for the PMP ?

Hello sir, First of all thank you so much for providing detailed information. I have one question after graduation I worked 33 months and than I moved Canada and provide on call support for 6 months ( service and planning). Does it count?

Hi, I have 33 months of experience as project engineer, where I was directly involved in a part of project which I directed partially, and now I work as an Intern in a planning company for 11 months now, will my internship experience count since it is into project planning and management?

@Indraneil, you'll have to make sure that you have a solid 36 months of project management experience (assuming you already graduated with your 4-year degree), as you will need to specifically document this on your PMP Application. Check this out on PMI's website for detail: www.pmi.org/certifications/project-management-pmp/earn-the-pmp/how-to-apply For more detail on what the application looks like, check out my step-by-step video tutorial for what to expect by watching this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXyvnHpjpbl3Y7c

Hey Alvin. Thanks for the extremely informative video. I was wondering once the app gets approved, how long do you have to pass the test? I just signed up for the udemy course, so I'm not there yet, but was wondering because I'll want to take some time to study more between the app approval and actually taking the test...and wouldn't want anything to lapse.

[@alvinthepmofficial]

After your application is approved and your exam fee is paid, per PMI's website, "You may attempt the exam up to three times in one year in the event that you don’t pass."

Hi Alvin. I have a 3-year bachelor's degree from University of Delhi. So how much project work experience I need to show in the PMP application? Is it 36 months or 60 months? In addition to that i have post graduate diploma in Business management of 2 years. Does it count as Masters? in that case again, how much project work experience I need to show in the PMP application? Is it 36 months or 60 months?
