Road to PMP Certification

Two weeks ago, I attended my first course in the last 4 years! (Yes, it's true!) It was a course that will help me attain my PMP Certification.

Here's some pic to show you what we have done during our course...

The project that my team wanted to implement is called Sea Paradise, an underwater hotel!

First, we have to create the Project Scope Statement for the Project. Together with that, we also have to include the Flexibility Matrix and the Major Deliverables.


Next, we have to decompose the work required to complete our project into 'Work Packages', this will create the Work Breakdown Structure. The WBS also include the duration & the PIC for the work. Sequence of the work packages is not important!


By right we should decompose further into activity level, but due to time constraint, we just use the work packages and arrange them into a Schedule Network Diagram (sequence diagram) and determine the Critical Path...


After determining the Scope and Time, we have to develop the Cost Breakdown Structure...


For every project, there is some amount of risk involved. So we need to determine the Risk Assessment Matrix!


After identifying the risk, of course we also have to work out a Risk Response Plan!


Tada! After all that work, there was hardly any space left on our classroom's wall...


This is certainly an interesting course. For those who are planning to go for PMP certification, remember to look for our trainer - Mr. Alan Puan. He has definitely helped us digest our syallbus really well! Two thumbs up for him!
