How do one established PMP experience?

1. Undertaking Information

This section includes key project details:

• Title of the Task
• Start and End Date
• Project Budget
• Team Size
• Project Approach or Life Cycle
• Your Work Title

2. Association Details

Provide the following organization-specific information:

• Organization Name
• Functional Reporting Area
  • This refers to the team you belong to. For example, if you are working in the Information Technology (IT) Department of an Insurance Company, IT is the "Functional Reporting Area."
• Association Primary Focus
  • This represents the business sector where the organization operates. For example, if the company is in the insurance business, then "Insurance" is the "Association Primary Focus."
• Project Budget
  • If you do not know the exact budget, provide an estimated amount, but it does not need to be precise.
• Group Size
  • Avoid using terms like "planned" for the team size. The project manager should have a clear understanding of the number of team members.
• Approach/Methodology
  • Select from the dropdown list. If the methodology is both Agile and Predictive, choose "Hybrid."

Note: If you select Agile or Hybrid, ensure that this is reflected in the project description.

3. Undertaking Description

This section should summarize the activities from each process group that you worked on. Follow these guidelines for presenting your experience effectively:

• Start with a Project Objective

  • Begin your project description with a clear, one-sentence statement about the expected result of the project. For example, the goal of a hospital management system project might be that "patients will not wait longer than 30 minutes to see a doctor."

• Think About What You Handled in Each Process Group

  • It's essential to spend time reflecting on what you contributed to each phase of the project. Summarize these activities in the description.
  • Project management experience is required in all process areas when accounting for all projects, but it's not mandatory to have experience in every process group for a single project. It’s fine to present activities from only a few process groups in each project, as long as you demonstrate expertise across all groups in total.

• Start Writing the Project Description

  • Once you have identified the tasks for each process group, write your description in a way that clearly conveys your experience using appropriate tools and techniques, aligning with the PMBOK® and PMP® content framework.

Format for Project Description

Follow the format recommended by PMI for project descriptions:

• A Brief, One-Sentence Objective

  • As mentioned, start with the "Project Objective" described above.

• Your Role and Responsibilities

  • Mention your duties aligned with the tasks of each Process Group (as outlined in the PMP® content framework).

Example of a Project Experience Summary

Based on the above guidelines, an example of a project experience summary might look as follows:

• Objective: The goal of the project was to ensure patients would wait no longer than 30 minutes to see a doctor.
• Role and Responsibilities: Managed cross-functional teams, oversaw project milestones, and ensured timely delivery of project phases based on Agile and Predictive methodologies.
