The EXPENSIVE approach for a "Do It Yourself" PMP
: Why is it EXPENSIVE for a "Do It Yourself" PMP?

Just calculate the amount of time and money required to prepare for the examination on YOUR own, not to mention about the confusion, fear and apprehension caused by so-called 'experts', who are willing to dole out free advice to you.

Let's calculate the costs to YOU on your solo journey:Study materials: PMBOK Guide = US$ 50 PMP Prep Guides = US$ 100 to US$ 200 PMP Question bank = US$ 200

Time spent: Minimum 250 hours self study. As a PM, your standard hourly billing rate is US$ 150. Assume conservative billing amount at US$ 50 per hour, and only 100 hours of self study (we would be impressed!).

Self study costs = 100 hours * US$ 50 / hour = US$ 5000 Failure in PMP exam = $275 re-exam fee (no GUARANTEES if you are self studying, right!)

Wow! You are willing to spend ATLEAST US$ 6000 just to pass the PMP exam? Look around for a better alternative.

Come to ProXalt. Our GUARANTEED program will help you become a PMP in MUCH less time and money! Visit us at http://www.ProXalt.com, TODAY!Step #What we ask you to doTime requiredHelp

2. Fill Details

Step 1:Enter your Project details and a high level break up of hours under each of the Project Management domains. Use approximate percentages; the system will calculate the actual hours later. In the next step, further decompose the hours under each category (which is color-coded).

Approximate effort spent on these PM Domains#Project NameYour TitleStart Date End Date% PM effective
: What % of Project Manager's time was effective for the given dates on this project? Consider vacation time, holiday, sick leave, etc., when calculating your Total Hours worked.

Calculate as follows: 1 Year = 52 weeks; 1 week = 5 working days; 1 day = 8 hours

Exclude 2 weeks vacation, 2 weeks holidays and about 1 week of sick leave (hence 5 weeks per year)

This leaves about 47 weeks * 5 days * 8 hours = 1880 hours.

Assume a PM is effectively managing a project only about 80% of time (with the remaining for admin work, etc), then 1880 * 80% = 1500 hours approximately per year is what you have spent on the project "managing it".Total Hours
: Calculation:Calculate the number of days between the start and end dates, and account for 5 days a week at 8 hours per day work. Multiply this by PM's effective time spent on the project.Initiating %Planning %Executing %Monitoring & Controlling %Closing %Total %Sample projectProj Lead03-Mar-0309-Aug-0475%22505%20%45%25%5%100%1010%30%20%30%10%100%2015%25%20%30%10%100%3Mahindra & Mahindra - Mobility SolutionsProj Head04-Jan-1027-Apr-10100%64610%30%20%30%10%100%4TATA Power - Mobility SolutionsProj Lead03-May-1007-Aug-10100%54915%30%30%20%5%100%5MORE - Store LocatorProj Lead10-Aug-1018-Nov-10100%57115%30%30%20%5%100%6BOBCARDS - SMS SolutionsProj Lead22-Nov-1004-Mar-11100%58315%25%20%30%10%100%7Kotak ACE - mConnectorProj Lead07-Mar-1129-Jul-11100%82315%30%30%20%5%100%8Axis Securities - mConnectorProj Lead02-Aug-1130-Nov-11100%68620%20%30%25%5%100%9Online Ticketing Tracker SystemProj Head01-Dec-1128-Sep-12100%172620%30%30%15%5%100%10020%30%20%20%10%100%5583155%280%250%240%75%Validation passed?TRUE
: Validation Check:This includes verifying if there is sufficient "Total Hours" as per the Education Qualification (see "1. Start Here" worksheet), and also that there exists some hours in each of the five Project Management Domains

Step 2:For each of the Project Management Domains (color-coded below), further decompose the hours by entering approximate % of time you have spent in each of the sub-tasks. ZERO % is acceptable for any sub-task.Once completed, go to the final worksheet "Full PMP App" which shows your assembled application.
