Hi Ivan,



It is also very important to choose the company you work. A lot of companies still have not heard of PMP or PMI much more Six Sigma or Prince.



If you’re lucky to land a job where project management theory pattern with PMI, then that will be an exception.



Somettimes in 2000 to 2001, I did a job in Papua New Guinea with one of the biggest company in that side of the continent and we did had project management practice, but the day to day activity is more on survival in the jungle.



The point is depending on the company and job location, you have to decide PMI project management theory and practice or survival.



Whatever you’re thinking, one thing for sure, if you got PMP certification big chance you will be paid higher compared to your colleague that don’t have one.

Hi Steve,



I agree with you regarding the birth of Six Sigma 15 years ago. However, during Six Sigma infancy, the IT world make use of it. It was only lately that big construction company notice Six Sigma importance and started sending their management to continuing professional education and securing Six Sigma certification.



A lot of big name in construction still prefer to have their management team go for PMP certification.



And of course most medium size and small construction company dont know that PMP or Six Sigma exist.

Hi planner,



I know the performance indices (CPI, SPI) are not new tool comparing with Six Sigma. But it seems very useful.

Does anyone know what kind of software can show these CPI and SPI curve? Or we have to plot by Excel?



Regards,



Norman

Hello,



Be sure that your heart is in project management. You may start at the bottom of your career but eventually you will rise up to become project manager. Ask yourself if you really wanted the job as project manager. If you want, then go for it.



I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
