For your Project Management Professional (PMP)® Exam

I am here at the Project Management Institute (PMI)® Global Conference

I am here at the PMI® Global Conference in Los Angeles together with some of my colleagues.

I'd like to share with you some photos I've taken from this global event:

The first #PMIcon18 interview is done. My guest is Marie Spark and our topic is PM Education.

OSP International's very own, Jonathan Hebert working hard at #PMIcon18

Andy Burns stopped by (leaned in?) to talk about the lean-agile PMO and how we can implement one.

Are you here too? Feel free to share with me your photos over at Twitter (@corneliusficht) and use the hashtag #PMIcon18

I will also be sharing more photos here...

Lessons Learned from
Christopher Dalansky, PMP

"... I felt the PMP exam was very similar to The PM Exam Simulator and the only way the PMP exam might have been slightly harder was that several questions seemed very vague. You had to really read to figure out the process group or knowledge area that they were suggesting that you were in.

Passed with AT overall. Initiating - Target; Planning,
Executing, Monitoring/Controlling, and Closing were all AT.

I have recommended The PM Exam Simulator to other project managers in my company..."
