PMP Certification is not a pre-requesit for PgMP Certification

PMP is not a pre-requesit for PgMP

Many of my friends called me and they say that they want to get the PgMP certification because it is more suitable for them than PMP since they are managing programs (Group of Projects) not only one project at a time but they don't want to apply for PgMP unless they become first PMP.

This is wrong because you can be PgMP regardless you are PMP or not and there are many PgMP certified they are not PMP oreginaly and they go ahead with PgMP since it is sutable for them.
to know more about the eligability to enter the PgMP exam you can visit www.pmi.org
I'll start deliver my PgMP training course in Kuwait next week.

Passed My PgMP Exam

It is my pleasure to announce that I passed my PgMP (Program Management Professional) exam yesterday (27 April 2009). Thanks GOD

The PgMP credential recognizes demonstrated experience, skill and performance in oversight of multiple, related projects that are aligned with an organizational strategy.(www.pmi.org)

The PgMP exam is quite tough and it needs a good preparation plus program management experience

I need to share with you my experience about the PgMP exam, the exam questions it was subjective and very tricky, I think more than 90% of the exam was situational and scenario based questions.
My advice in order to prepare yourself for the exam is to do the following:-
1 - Read the Program Management Standard at least 4 times.
2 - Study the PgMP exam specification.
3 - Use PgMP questions and answers to enforce the concepts.
4 - You may have some questions need calculations so you need to know EVT , CPI , SPI
5 - If you are not sure about the answer try to use the avoidance technique (avoid the wrong answers first).
6 - Try to manage your time in the exam.
7 - You need to train yourself to concentrate for 4:00 hours and keep your focus.
8 - Keep in your mind that you are program manager not a project manager.
9 - Your Program management Experience is the key success in this exam.

Best of Luck
