@Ramesh,
Excellent PMP Primer (Getting Started). I would suggest, you can also give links to the various YahooGroups, the software that you tried and you were using. That would make this post truly a one-stop resource for aspiring PMPs.
I used to use PMP_study yahoogroups. But now that site is full of spam, so I myself unregistered from the group. With respect to study material I have mentioned in this content. Once someone takes membership they can access PMP communities site there
@Ramesh,
True. YahooGroups is spammed totally. I do have a suggestion to manage through this spam cloud @YahooGroups.
(*) You can subscribe with 'Email Address Hidden' (but this is upto the administrator though. I think PMP group supports this).
(*) Opt for 'Daily Digest' or 'Web Only' delivery model for the messages.
For the moderator/group administrator:
(*) Restrict to delivery of only plain text messages.
(*) Drop attachments.
This way, we can make the best use of YahooGroups. The problem is that YahooGroups has currently management from Yahoo India CallCenters, I guess.
A couple of months back I wrote them and one 'Raj' or somebody wrote. The standard of English used by the customercare too is kind of shabby that even our Rocky (the dog in Microsoft Word in its real life) would have a better standard of English than him.
Yahoo India customercare have almost become like our HSBC callcenter.
Ramesh. You remember. When feeling sleepy call some phone banking -- do some barking -- increase limit, cancel card -- just for fun.
I think we can try out the same fun on Yahoo Cc too.
Excellent post. You can also refer to pmpquest.com for PMP primer.
Great post. This information is sure useful. I never thought that the requirements or the things we need to do to complete or PMP certification is that much!
Well, thanks for sharing and I really am grateful for this post. Keep it up!
