Project Management February Survey: PMP Certification Published on 31 January 2010 - Revised on Back in July 2009 I did an article entitled “Is PMP Certification Worth It?” and then a follow-up article a couple of days later entitled “Is PMP Certification Worth It? – My Analysis So Far.” Those articles – specifically the first one, generated a lot of interest and feedback. The first article alone received more than 100 comments just through PM Tips. What I would like to do here is ask our readers to participate in a short survey. It has to be short because I’ve set it up on my personal site so you can respond through a form online, but since I haven’t upgraded my site yet to a premium account, I’m limited in how long the survey can be. But at least this way you won’t get bored. And if it goes well, I’ll upgrade my account before I conduct another survey. Please go to this URL to take the survey….. http://www.bradegeland.com/feb-survey.html I’m not asking for anyone’s name, email address, or other contact info, just your honest answers. Here are the questions…. Are you PMP certified? How long have you been certified? Did you pass on your first try? What is the PRIMARY reason you became certified (or will become certified if you are working on it or plan to)? Do you feel that the PMP certification has been or will be beneficial to your career? Please route this in PM groups you belong to or post it on Twitter so that we can get maximum response. If this goes well, I’ll plan on doing at least one new survey every month. Remember – your survey responses go only to me at the email address below and I won’t share them individually with anyone. I will however, share the overall results with our readers near the end of February. So please try to respond by 2/20/10.
