An acquaintance of mine is documenting her experience for the PMP application, and she's wondering if teaching courses would qualify. In my mind, each instance of a course is a small project, even if it's a course that's taught frequently. Each instance requires planning before it starts; during the course there's a lot of monitoring and control, as well as stakeholder management; and at the end there are closeout procedures and often lessons learned to be applied to future courses. Does anyone have experience with claiming this kind of experience?
Developing a new course could be considered a project if you applied PM practices across the life cycle. However, creating multiple courses might not count as the level if uniqueness or uncertainty would decrease each time and soon you'd stop treating the work as a project and more like an operational process with a "course development playbook".
