PMP: "flattering", changing life! (1)

PMP: "flattering", changing life :)

PMP? What is the abbreviation of coops !?

Of course not, full name is project management professional (detailed content can refer to the "zengjibing article" http://blog.csdn.net/zengjibing/archive/2009/02/13/3888892.aspx), is a project management certification examination, 2008 ranking it hot certification 4th.

But why is it called the "flattering" test? It is said that there are two reasons: first, of course, it is easy to read, and second, it is very good: after all, flattering is a skill that managers must possess, while PMP is a management qualification certification, therefore, it is called open. So the question in this article really means: Learn PMP and change your life!

 

Better serving supervisors

I believe that many people who do technology have such a technical complex: technology first, and management useless!

In particular, we can see that many supervisors are opening meetings every day, and then writing reports and films to their superiors. As soon as they discuss specific issues, they will flash away, basically not doing things right, only input and no output ...... Aha is nothing!

However, the reality is always cruel. Although we think management is useless, our supervisors or project managers are much more refined than our technology. The fate of technology lies in our managers, in addition, once we argue with our supervisor, it seems that our technicians, aha, and what's wrong with the world?

In fact, there is no problem in the world, and it is reasonable to exist. Since we cannot avoid dealing with "managers", it is better to understand it, even if it is our enemy, you must know the enemy before attacking the enemy!

PMP is an entry-level management certification suitable for everyone. Whether you are a manager or a technician, or you are a computer or architecture engineer, you do not need to be an MBA, as long as you want to know about Project Management, this is the best simple entry-level certification (although simple, it is basically enough for most people ).

Let's take a look at the following weapons that can be learned by the Project Manager or supervisor through PMP:

(1) The project has added new functions (equivalent to a change in scope), while the supervisor has neither increased manpower nor changed the progress. You can say with confidence that this is impossible, this is a violation of the Project Management "Tie triangle" relationship!

 

(2) In order to complete the task, the supervisor can shorten the project cycle (the progress changes), you can Ugly say that "This will greatly affect the project quality", so that there will be quality problems, you can say that this is not your responsibility, because you have already said :);

 

(3) When the project morale is low and the supervisor is desperate to work overtime, you can come up with the "incentive theory" related to human resource management to remind managers;

 

(4) When a conflict arises, you can take measures related to "Conflict Management" of human resource management, especially if the manager takes the measures you think are incorrect, he or she can talk to him or her, rather than silently accepting it;

 

........................

There are many other weapons that you can learn and use by learning PMP. Here we will not list them one by one.

 

After reading the example given above, you may feel that I am encouraging you to confront your supervisor. In fact, it is not the case that, through PMP learning, you can also have a better understanding of the supervisor's work, so as to better cooperate with the supervisor, rather than simply think that management is useless.

 

(1) Through PMP learning, you will know that the management job is "start-> plan-> execute-> close-out" and a "monitoring" action for the whole process, therefore, managers must manage their plans and write reports, rather than do nothing. Generally, employees may be mainly involved in "execution ";

 

(2) Through PMP learning, you will know that planning is a very important thing. Any management work must have a plan, and it is in line with the old saying that everything is ready and never done;

 

(3) through PMP learning, you will know that project management is not simple. There are five processes in nine fields of knowledge and each field has 40 or 50 things to do;

 

(4) the most shocking thing is that, according to PMP, 90% of Project Managers spend their time communicating with various stakeholders, therefore, various meetings are inevitable, and "face-to-face communication" is the best in all forms of communication;

 

........................................ .....

 

 

If you have more understanding of the supervisor's work, will you still despise or even despise the supervisor as before? Is it always unbalanced? Will I continue to work with the supervisor? I think most people will never do that again. Long live understanding, after all, the supervisor is not easy, and the value of cooperation at work is far greater than the value of confrontation. Maybe the supervisor may find that your relationship will become better after your positive changes, since then, work has become easier, and your career may change !!

 

Step 4: If you really encounter a straw bag supervisor, you can't stand it. At least there are also weapons provided by PMP for you to use, you can even ask, "Have you ever passed PMP?" :) (Hopefully you will not encounter this situation, amen !)
