A few years back, when the PMP exam changed, I was really curious which PMPs out there took the new exam versus the old one. It has been my understanding, back in the day you could memorize areas of the PMBOK and pass the exam. Since the exam changed and became scenario based and started asking "which answer is the most correct" I wonder if some of the PMPs out there could pass the new exam. I understand it is unfair to insinuate PMPs who sat for the exam before a certain date aren't good project managers. I prefer to recognize the certification as a benchmark. Project managers with the PMP credential should use the same terminology and should understand what I'm talking about when I speak of input or outputs of specific process groups. One of the first things I do, if asked to review a resume, is I verify when the applicant passed their PMP exam. Want to ensure the next applicant really is a PMP if they say they are? Go to the PMI Registry.
Metrics
As an executive, you will be faced with the choice to do the pivot (if you can) or persevere (if you have no other choice). This will lead to a series of “bets”. You lead with a hypothesis that the things you change will allow you to operate at pre-event levels. But, how long will it actually take for you to validate your hypothesis and have a bet pay off with pre-event levels? If you run out of time to figure it out or run out of bets you can place, then you either lose your standing in the market or worse risk going out of business.
Regardless of the organization or institution, there will always be dependencies. The larger the organization, the greater chance of the existence of dependencies.
