Good video and interesting comparison. I've started to see the Google Project Management certification appearing in LinkedIn bios lately, on the website it claims over 1m have enrolled on the course. Any thoughts on this? Could it replace PMI, PRINCE2, etc?
Apples 🍏 and oranges 🍊. PMI is an organization so a better comparison is between the Google PM certification and PMI’s two main certs: PMP and CAPM. I think the Google certification will sit alongside CAPM rather than replace it as an entry level PM certification. I don’t think its current syllabus is as broad and deep as PMP. PRINCE2 is,as I explained in the video, a very different beast. I don’t see the Google certification competing with it. But your question does remind me to move my plan for a video on Google Project Management Certification up my backlog!
Neither and both. PMP exam has never been a test of PMBOK knowledge. The current syllabus recommends PMBOK 7 as one reference among many. PMBOK 6 content is also valuable and PMI recommends you get it from the PMIStandards+ website.
For PMP certification, you need to show 36 or 60 months of experience leading projects within the past eight years. Always check the PMI website (this page has the requirements [June 2023] www.pmi.org/certifications/project-management-pmp/earn-the-pmp/how-to-apply) and download an up-to-date Certification Handbook (here in June 2023 www.pmi.org/certifications/project-management-pmp) if you are serious about applying.
@@Onlinepmcourses What counts as "leading projects"? I'm a professional scientist working for a chemical manufacturer. I've been responsible for projects such as stability studies of chemical products we make and developing new analytical methods for new products. Do those things count as project management? Or are we talking about something different?
@@RobertWoodman - 'I've been responsible for projects'... If that's true, then the time of those projects should count. Start compiling records of that time and think how you would demonstrate this under audit. For example, what are the dates, who did you lead, sho could attest to your roles? I can't speak for PMI, though. So, if in doubt, your best bet would be to contact them.
