Working in the Information Technology for over 11 years I have seen my fair share of project managers. Everyone needs someone to manage the thousands of projects these big companies have. So what does it mean to be a project manager?
The Project Management Institute (PMI) defines a project as
The Project Management Institute (PMI®) has grown at an exponential rate during this time, reflecting the importance of project management as a profession. And more organizations are requiring their project managers to become certified as project management professionals (PMP®) through PMI. For that reason, developing your skills is important if you want to advance in your career as a project manager and beyond to higher levels of general management.
Your PMP examination is based on your experience, your ability to problem-solve, and a strong foundation in project management.
"PMI's Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge" can help you grasp what you must know to pass the exam. References to "PMI's A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge" will be called the PMBOK Guide — fourth edition (pronounced pim-bok).
