I am currently completing my project management experience summary for my PMI application. My question is can I use supervising/coaching a team of 15 people as project experience? Most time would be executing and monitoring and control with some planning. Saving Changes...

I was a line manager with over 20 people and I can honestly say that managing direct reports is different than managing project team members.
When you manage personnel on a project, you do it only for the duration of the project. They usually don't report directly to you. Your primary focus is on optimizing the project, not the personnel. Saving Changes...
It is hard to say. Because it has to do with several factors. What did you do? Did you really work on a project or not.
Anyway, you can present it in a way that meets the criteria. Nut, is it ethical? I do not think so. Saving Changes...
Assuming you are referring to the PMP certification, if you were leading projects (and not just people), the experience is applicable. If not and if your application were to get audited, you'd likely get the work challenged.
Thanks everyone for the responses. Not all hours were project related so I will need t break it down more than just direct supervision. Saving Changes...

My recommendation is reaching PMI´s customer support, because if you complete the application, send it, and the PMI have doubts then you will be part of the audit process between other things. And usually you are notice after you pay for the exam. Saving Changes...
