Dress Your Project for Success

Remember what you were taught in Kindergarten or that first year or "semester" of the entry level to grammar school as we call it here in the US? I think we were early on taught that "neatness counts" or something to that effect. Presentation and promotion of your project is just as important, or more so than promotion of the product or service that happens once the project is successfully completed. Without project promotion, there may be no product promotion. Proper project promotion and presentation to stakeholders gets buy in, i.e., "sells" the project effort to the stakeholders, and is generally, almost intuitively, automatically, value driven. To promote and present is to attempt to show the growth in value of what your are doing or plan to do - to "show your work" in the best light.

If you are a PMP, you have learned and been tested on the detailed tactics for accomplishing just this, via communications, planning, integration and so on. Not a PMP you say? Well add some value to both your project and your career by becoming certified.

My favorite presentation and promotion tool for prospective candidates is my diagnostic PMP Exam Simulator for MS Windows (all versions - and tablet). Good luck!

Exam Simulator Alive and Well

When I studied for the PMP Exam, I could not afford the almost $250 (at that time) for the popular PMP Exam Simulator by RMC. I did realize, that answering questions was the most effective way to prepare myself for a test center administered professional exam when I had limited study time available. So that is what I did, used my PMBoK and constructed questions out the material and practiced. And once I passed, the software engineer in me developed the PMP Exam Simulator and still sell it, with its' diagnostic format and over 1400 questions from my website via Paypal here.

In collaboration with other subject matter experts, I also offer Exam Simulators for the CISSP, EA, PHP, Java, BO/CR, Oracle, IT Tech, and even Fly Fishing Instructor (my hobby).

Because I consult as a project manager, making Gantt charts, project plans, doing resource management, and software/systems engineering and more by day, my Exam Sim website does not get daily attention. It is alive, and well, and up to date for the current exams, (PMP - PMBoK 4th edition). Buy my exam sim for MS Windows. You will not be disappointed. You will pass the exam - I guarantee it! Exam sims are also great tools for preparing for difficult tech interviews in this tight labor market. Get the job! Pass the exam! Good luck!
