* Honesty - Understand the truth. Act and speak in a truthful manner.
We find out what's right and we speak of it and do it.
**** We leave no one behind. Everyone crosses the finish line together.
* Communications: We take statements and comments in chat as opinions and
perceptions, not facts or truths. Even facts, without analysis, are not truth.
We use debate to negotiate and come to agreement.
Opinions and perceptions may be wrong; PEOPLE are not wrong.
We embrace the truth. Being right doesn't get us closer to the truth; being
wrong Does get us closer to the truth.
"Greater clarification and transparency, less confusion."
(Precision in our definitions)
* Responsibility - we own our personal growth. This class requires not only
acquisition of knowledge, but changes in perception and habit.
This includes a sense that we will be confused and frustrated. We accept
that this is just part of the process, and evidence we are doing this right.

60% of your learning will be received through observing how Tim leads, manages,
and organizes the class. This class is intended to not be a lecture, but an
immersive experience.
Relax
take a breath
and think a little slower
and you'll see the patterns emerge.

* Self learning - you can complete the same material we talk about.
The recording reads the slides for you
you have a few questions to review.
(If you miss too many live classes to gain credit, just complete
this class - it's another way)
Tim recommends: Try to keep ahead of this live class a bit on
a regular basis. That way, you are getting 2 lectures for the
price of one.
* Live classes
- where we log into our classes.
- also where we select our class to attend
- ALSO where we capture the recordings of the live classes.
Recordings:
in .arf format (webex's own proprietary format)
you can't play these on any device wiothout webex's player.
- it's free
- it's very small
\ - it's automatically installed when you first download a recording.
about .5% of everyone 1 of 200 - have a little problem with this.
If you have problems with the webex player, please work with support.
* assessment
180 random questions, and timed (just like in the real exam)
you can leave and come back and the timer pauses.
Are these questions like the exam? People coming back from exam
say 'yes'.
* certificate
If you've earned the simplilearn certificate ,here's how to download
it.
If you haven't earned, here's the requirements to earn.
*** PLEASE NOTE ***
Some of you are in different PMP Prep programs -
you bought different content, you have different
requiremnents for earning certificates.
The pre-recorded content in the self-learning tab is the same

as much as you can.

"Leading and directing projects"
1) from PMI Communications:
PMI requires that qualified PMP candidates:
* Perform their duties under general supervision and are responsible
for all aspects of the project for the life of the project
* Lead and direct cross-functional teams to deliver projects within
the constraints of schedule, budget and resources
* Demonstrate sufficient knowledge and experience to appropriately
apply a methodology to projects that have reasonably well-defined
project requirements and deliverables.
Project descriptions should consist of the following:
* A brief, one-sentence project objective
* Project deliverables summarized by process areas
(Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing -
abbreviations are acceptable IN, PL, EX, MC & CL)
* A brief, one-sentence project outcome
Project descriptions should be a high level summary of the tasks
you led and directed on the project (e.g. Initiating: develop project
charter etc.; Planning: Scope definition etc.; and so on).
Project management experience is required in each of the process areas
when all projects are totaled, but not on each project.
Project descriptions must be provided for all projects submitted on
application.
2)
Perform the work of a PM, as described in the Exam Content Outline (ECO)
ECO is THE TASKS A PM PERFORMS...
