Giving the high demand for the PMP credential, many prospective PM's (with limited experience) chose to write the PMP exam (hoping that PMI audit doesnt get them) and ignoring the CAPM credential. Organizations should kindly request for CAPM credentials for prospective with limited experience. Saving Changes...

PMI would have to advertise the CAPM, since few recruiters or organizations seem to be familiar with it. I've never seen the CAPM mentioned in a Project Manager job description, for example - just the PMP. Saving Changes...

Well,
If PMI starts to scrutinize PMP applicants (beyond what they submit in the application) and
Do more audit, and
Publish the percent of rejected applications, then
Maybe more people will go toward the CAPM instead of "exaggerating" on a PMP application Saving Changes...
See most of the projects do not require that much calculations and specialized scheduling of tasks, I had read somewhere that only 11% of business decisions are based on calculative analysis. Most of the companies use task management and other collaborative tools for keeping whole teams on the same page all times because it is found to be most proficient way of saving time.
We in our own organization do not make that much calculated decisions because inefficiencies occur and delays in processes are faced for sure. Saving Changes...
