My answer was as follows... Read More...

You are managing a construction project in an urban residential area. The project deadline is drawing near, and you don't think that you will be able to meet the deadline if you continue completing the project activities at your current speed. One of your assistants suggests that the
team work double shifts to meet the deadline.
However, working at night will require the use of a heavy, noisy power generator that you think will cause an inconvenience to the neighbors. There is also no provision in your Project Management Plan to work in double shifts. What should you do?
A. You should not work the night shift, because it will cause a disturbance to the neighbors
B. You should seek approval for working the night shift but find an alternative energy
source
C. You should seek your project sponsor's approval to work the night shift
D. You should seek the city administration's approval to work the night shift
Hint: Working the night shift will cause a disturbance to the neighbors.

Census for Study of the PM Market
|
Hi ,
We are helping Arras People solicit view of the current UK and international project management marketplace. Now in its tenth year, the census data is used to create the Project Management Benchmark Report which becomes available in January 2015. The Benchmark Report serves as the UK's lone official declaration of the status of project management in the UK and
concentrates on factors affecting project management practitioners’ earnings, aspirations and professional life. This year the Census has been extended to include international project management practitioners. To take part in the Project Management Census you’ll need somewhere between 5 and 15 minutes. Go to PM Census and lend your voice to your community. Until Next Time, Cornelius Fichtner, PMP, CSM President, OSP International LLC |

Lessons Learned from Nicolas Vivanco, PMP
|
" Firstly thank you for taking time to read through my PMP journey. It’s certainly been a challenging year trying to balance work, studying and the family, however, it was well worth the effort.I’ve been a Project Manager for almost 15 years and it is something that I’ve always enjoyed doing. At the same time, I never really had any formal training in this area, therefore, my projects were always planned and executed
based on my own best practices. I felt that it was time to look for a more formal framework that was internationally recognized that could help me manage projects in a more consistent and structured manner. I knew of the PMP through colleagues that I’ve worked with throughout my career and after doing some research, I decided to go ahead and embark on the PMP certification process.
The materials I used for my study:
- PM PrepCast – listened / watched all sessions and made notes (approx. 4 small A5/8mm books)
- PMBOK Guide – read it once and referenced to it from time to time. The PMP Exam, How to Pass on Your First Try by Andy Crowe - read it once and referenced to it from time to time.
- I also had the choice of reading Rita
Mulchany’s PMP Exam Prep book, however, I found Andy Crowe’s book easier to read.
