I
have been engaged in the work of informatization. I have conducted large-scale
projects for Party Bs (SAP, MS Dynamics). I was also responsible for
informatized projects as a project manager. To some extent, I have certain
experience of project management. Considering to improve my project management
ability, I wanted to learn the knowledge of project management more
systematically based on the original project management methodologies I have
learnt. Therefore, I signed up for the PMP https://cciedump.spoto.net this
year and got 5A result.
From
signing up for the exam to take the PMI PMP exam,
I prepared for about 3 months. The actual exam date was two weeks late.
Therefore, we had more time to prep. How to arrange the preparation in the
three months is important. The preparation itself can be treated as a small
project. The target of the project was to pass the PMP
certification exam. To realize the target, you need to make a plan
considering such factors as content, scope, time arrange, and evaluation of the
result. You need to coordinate different resources including time, energy and
money. You also need to negotiate with stakeholders, mainly to get the support
of your families. Besides, you should conquer various difficulties to make sure
that the project can be successful and make stakeholders satisfied.
My
personal plan was to watch all courses within one month. Then, I would spend
one month reading learning materials and PMP guidance PMBOK. In the last month,
I did at least five sets of PMP exam sample questions
and made the last review. In such a way, I could firstly build up the knowledge
structure, learn the details and form my own understanding and summary. At
last, I would test my learning results by doing questions. PMBOK concludes all
processes through the mode of “input, tool and technology and output”, which is
similar to the mode of learning knowledge. Reading books are the process of
importing knowledge. Meanwhile, you construct the knowledge framework. Through
conclusion and summary, you internalize the knowledge. And finally, by doing
questions and discussing and solving problems, you realize the output of
knowledge. Only by finishing such a circle, you achieve the mastery of the
knowledge.
In
fact, while carrying the plan, I finished watching video courses ahead of
planned schedule. Therefore, I had more time reading learning materials.
Because the purpose of preparing for the exam was not only to acquire the
certificate but to use the knowledge in my actual working situation, I learnt
the details of project management knowledge and spent much time summarizing and
remembering. I took notes of key knowledge points of each chapter. I believe my
learning quality was pretty good. The questions of PMP
certification are flexible. The exam will not test you the concepts in
the book directly. You need to consider the real situation because the
knowledge is highly pragmatic and applicable.
Of
course, passing PMP exam is just one step of learning the knowledge of project
management. I still need to further explore in my work. Thank my families’
support, which is the greatest motivation for driving me forward.
