Not true sir. You do not have to be a domain expert to manage a project. On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 8:14 AM, Joseph McDonald <mcdonaldoj@gmail.com>wrote:
Am sorry it came out badly what I meant,is you need other skills to compliment the Project Management skills.e.g If you are a project manager,in IT ....it means you must have the IT skills first,then project management will be an added advantage.
I hope its clearer now,i did not mean to discourage those,who are doing project management...

McDee,
What are you y'all talking about? Project management is a serious discipline and a career like any other I work for a Telco and over and above PMI/PMP we have three additional internal certifications based on actual project experience.
Everything every organization does is a project and this is a formalized discipline from Banking, to Insurance to Manufacturing. Here's my recommendation, instead of doing the certification first, get a PM job and do the certification and not the other way round. This is not Cisco or MCSE, you have to have hands on experience.
Look for a preparation center preferably in Dubai/SA for the weeks running to the exam and pay for it.
My thoughts

I look at project management as a tool...not a serious career.Everyone one time or another has to use some project management skills.

@All,
What are the possibilities of getting a project job once I attain this kind of certification? Bearing in mind am just a fresh graduate.
