PMP - Project Management Professionals

Does anyone else ever have to fill out these PMP goals in a yearly fashion? And every year there is this sort of test you have to give yourself to assess your progress on certain goals that have trickled down to you.

I'd like to hear what you think about the Project Management Self Assessments you have to go through in your work place. Even if you're just an assistant or play a vital role in a company, how do you feel about the whole 'goal' oriented position based companies. Don't get me wrong, you need goals and assessments in any type of company, but is there a way to do it easier without having the feeling of talking yourself up or down in any given assessment?

I personally hate it! It's probably the worst process that I've had to do the past 3-4 years. My yearly goals are never accomplished because they shift tremendously. I never am able to successful say I've succeeded past my goal (which you need to say when you're evaluated) to veto for a raise simply because I'm pulled in multiple directions. This year will change since I've been moved to a Special Projects Manager position away from a more focused job set. Hopefully I can use that as leverage for a pay raise, otherwise I'm moving on out...

Share you experiences about Self Assessment, PMP, or how you go about filling out your competency goals.

If none of this applies to you simply reply with - i'll send you $10 via paypal.

I was going to do the whole PMP PMI signup process ( yeah the basic first steps ) and today I just got my notice that my last final signup days were coming up.

Just need a freaking job where I can put in some PMP hours

I got some pmp material if you want some.


btw can't you reach the goal ( 1500 hours or something? ) over minimum 3 or 4 years?!
Don't sweat it ... you have time to complete the thing then again you may want to get the cert right away

AH! You're talking about the real deal jdizzle my nizzle.

I'm talking about YOY goals at any given workplace. But the actual PMP you speak about is ultimately what I want to achieve. I had an ingcling you'd offer up some reading material. What's with you and e-books? lol is there something you aren't telling me. Stealing e-books from my company all the while I'm in charge or our digital asset management library. So you're stealing from me huh? That'll cost you you're pair of bacons...you can ship them right now!

lol

reading material sure..i'd love some

I complete a PMP - Performance Management Process worksheet twice/year. Mine is actually due to my boss on Monday. One of the things that I do is just keep a folder all year long of activities that are above and beyond what my normal job duties are, that's what I typically use to fill out my PMP. All my regular goals and acheivements that are inline with my job role go on there too but, I feel like that is just filler; that's the MINIMUM requirements for my role, I feel.

Ok so you're twice a year is a mid-year and end of year review? Mines is similar but I do little to record (or organize) for that matter. Any techniques when writing/filling out your pmp 'comments' and 'results' without making yourself sound like you're the Chuck Norris of the company?

well I was confused with your post and I wasn't sure if you meant the actual PMI cert or if this an internal review procedure you have to undergo on a yearly basis.

Concerning the PMI cert I'm confused about the hours accounting. I believe you can take into account hours completed retro-active to your signup but for safety measures it's always better to get signed up as early as possible and start cashing in these hours.
Biggest issue is if you go to another company down the road it'll be more difficult for PMI to do retro-active PMP hours auditing with your old employer.

me and ebooks and training material etc .... lol you have no freaking idea about the kind of stuff you can find online do you?

The only thing I always make sure to do is to always qualify my actions by including a tangible result. I'll post up a screenshot real quick.



EDIT:

Bah, I thought it'd be easier to read.

Moral Hazard
Oppressing the 99%



Registered: Mar 2005
Location: with the 1%

I just did my self-assessment.... I hate them. I hate them primarally because the criteria on which we are to judge ourselves is largely inconsequential to our actual preformance. What maters in my line of work, ultimately, is client satisfaction. If the client is satisfied then they continue to give me work, if not they don't. Given that I have increased my billing by nearly 50% over the past year and managed to land two major new clients I'd say I had a banner year, however, since we're asked to judge ourselves based on mundane shit such as how quickly we return phone calls I'm not sure my success translates into the assessment. Ultimately, I elected to not give any quantitative answers and simply put in my "comments" section; "I'm $84,639 beyond my target revenue YTD, looks like I'm doing okay!"
