PMP Certification - Experience Verification Form Queries
Anonymous
Hi all,
I am strongly interested in the PMP certification. I'd like to give you a brief introduction about my career - I'm holding a Bachelor of Technology degree and I've almost 7+ years of total project experience. In these years of my experience, I've played various roles like software developer, business systems analyst, test team member and test lead but never worked as Project Manager as such.
When I was looking at the experience verification form, I roughly calculated Total PDUs as 5589 categorized as below:
My questions are -
1. Am I eligible for PMP exam even if I haven't work as PM? If so, should all my experience come under "Project Contributor" (for dev/test activities) and "Supervisor" (for test lead activities) roles?
2. While calculating PDUs I've considered the data for last 3-4 years as the previous experience is limited to "Execute the tasks defined in the project plan in order to achieve the project goals" activity only (for developer or tester role)
Should I also include those hours? As I've a total project experience of 7+ years which roughly comes about 10300 hours (counting 6 hours per day devoted in project works), can I show all of that?
3. As "Primary Contact" for my projects, can I give someone's name (for one or more projects) who was not my manager, but was involved in my past projects. This is important because I'm not in touch with some of my past managers and don't even have their contact information. In that case, what should I fill for "Contact Relationship" in the application form? Should it be "Primary Stakeholder"?
Please clarify my doubts. Thanks a tonne in advance! Saving Changes...
I have been selected for an audit and am currently seeking a Experience Verification Form. Can anyone direct where I can obtain one of these so that I may complete my audit process?
