"Can you handle it? "
Reality - No, I cannot. You are pushing unfinished business to my plate and that is also not my responsibility.
Srikana - yes, like if they really expect you to say nooo...

Srikana - but then another lie would be the PM's typical answer.

Question "Can you handle it?"

Response "Of course, I don't this type of scenarios many times before"

From a job description "overall 10-12 years of work experience and have more than 8+ years as project/program management experience leading/managing complex projects. PMP preferred."
It implies the candidate might have acquired Project manager role with just 2 years of experience handling complex projects.Can this be true, really!

This is our final design. We did not change it intentionally. We changed it to have feasibility over the process operations for the years to come.

But I don't see this as lie.

Hi all, I was hoping someone on this thread could answer this; Can someone please recommend a good but inexpensive online course to satisfy the 35 contact hours of formal education needed to apply for the PMP certification.

Larry - unbelievable right?
Yes it is, an 8000 hour project, 35 developers across the country, 2 dev managers, 3 - 4 architects and a manager, several dba's, a BA manager and 2 BA's, and a completely separate / remote QA dept including offshore. To top it off a government client that keeps writing change orders and and and at least 8 - 16 hours of reporting up the food chain.
