Bill Dunkan on so-called “waterfall” projects:
The great explanation by Bill Dunkan on so-called “waterfall” projects:
“
Bill Duncan
Project management consultant and trainer. Primary author of the original (1996) PMBoK Guide.
Probably the MOST important thing to keep in mind is that there is no such thing as a “waterfall” project. Waterfall was defined by Royce in a 1970 article as a way to NOT do software development. Now, if you understand project management (which this AI bot clearly does not), you would know that there is such a thing as stage gate (also called phase gate) which is often called “waterfall.” But in phase gate revisions are NOT “costly and time-consuming” unless you leave them to the end. And that’s true for ALL projects. And the approach is generally “linear and sequential” but overlaps are both allowed and encouraged”
Updates in PMP exam procedure
PMI announced radical changes in the certification exam procedure starting 2023, September, 25th.
The exam answers will be sent to PMI, so a candidate receives results in within 5 business days AFTER the exam take-date.
In case of candidate’s misconduct, the exam result is put in failure, and the next attempt is allowed in a test center (CBT) only. Online is prohibited.

CAPM certification prolongation
CAPM – Certified Associate in program management – is the basic PMI certification. Previously, CAPM was granted only for 3 years.
Now certificate holders are not obliged to pass exam each 3 years, 15 pdu’s only are necessary instead.
We recommend this certification for young specialists, bachelors, masters, who start their career. You need to gain 23 contact hours, no work experience required.
New PMP exam procedure
The new exam is comprised of:
- 180 questions (the previous exam was 200) but the same number of questions will be scored
- 230 minutes to complete the exam
- One additional break for a total of two 10-minute breaks for computer-based tests. No scheduled breaks for paper-based exams.
- Questions will be a combination of multiple-choice, multiple responses, matching, hotspot and limited fill-in-the-blank. See prototype questions to learn more .
PMI moves PMP preparation online
PMI motivates its accredited education providers to move online and provides vast training support for on-line PMP preparation classes.
Recommended PMP simulator
2 our students successfully passed PMP in July. And they recommend RMC (https://store.rmcproject.com/pm-fastrack-cloud-v9-online-pmp-exam-simulation-6-month) sample test for preparation as very similar to current PMP exam questions.
