Congrats. PMP certified folks are apparently another level of dork I never knew existed.

Why tear down an achievement that someone else earned through hard work ?

Why intentionally try to hurt ?

Play nice or else it's off to your room for time out!

Forgot that in my post above.

How much of it is about MS Project?

I've been using Open Workbench instead of MS Project. Are you familiar with that? Any opinion about it? Text

I use Open Workbench at my job and boy does it suck. Such a pain to modify the plan once it's set up and people have started booking time to the tasks.

Congrats, I plan on going for my certification as soon as I have enough experience to qualify. How strict were the guidelines for reporting your experience?

Woah, my thread is back from the dead! I've only been a PiMP for a month and I'm still enjoying it!

I wasn't tearing anyone down, my congrats were sincere. I'm referring more to the other PMP guys that jumped in and started saying things like "My A3 is being continually improved through the methodologies of TBP with a distributed application of PDCA."

It was meant to be a good-natured jab. You don't gotta send me to my room, Dad. No please, not the belt!

So the more important question for you Markgm is did you get a nice boost in pay from this?! Or are you just certifiable. I took classes from PMI and have the PMBOK. I stopped taking them once I got into graduate school for an MBA. Actually, they kicked me out. My company didn't want to waste resources on a "short timer". Oh well.

We were talking about a PMP. Just not the same kind. ;)
