Making Things Work During A PMP Audit

By Anna Clark


When a person gets up in the morning, the first thing they do is shut off their alarm. The alarm is there to make sure that they actually get up. Now, most people have to get up in the morning because they all have to get to work to earn a salary. Some people who work do not have that much responsibility. Higher ups may stress how important each job is, but at the end of the day, some people are just easily replaceable cogs in a machine. But a project manager is not a replaceable cog. A project manager is the person who makes sure that things gets done, who keeps all the cogs going. But, every now and then, the governing body that gave a project manager recognition will have to step in and make sure that said professional is living up to their standards, which is when a PMP audit is initiated.

Before even getting appraisal, a person must first qualify as a Project Management Professional. In order to do that, a person needs to be educated, they must have a high school diploma or an associate degree or a full four year degree. Applicants must also have thirty five hours of project management education.

An audit is a review. It is a check to make sure that a person did not misrepresent themselves. It is one thing to lie in a job interview. It is another entirely to falsify records.

There is no good reason for a person to be audited. Things do not always happen for a reason. Sometimes, they just happen randomly. It is much like life.

There is a tendency to be indignant of to panic whenever the credentials of a person are put into question. However, in the case of an audit, there is no need to do either. Since the audits are supposed to be random, there was no ill intent involved. In fact, the only thing that should be done is to comply with all the requirements as quickly as possible.

There is not a lot to expect when getting audited. Most people will simply receive an email to notify them that an appraisal of their qualifications has begun. People will generally receive ninety days in order to comply.

Failing an appraisal can be easy. All a person has to do to lose PMP certification is to not comply, to do nothing during the ninety days which they are given to comply. The other way to fail is to be dishonest, to have misrepresented educational and professional experience.

Passing is easy. Most of the materials needed to comply with an audit are either provided by PMI or already in the hands of a person. All that is needed is to submit those materials within the ninety day grace period.

People need to work. An individual needs a job in order to buy food. But the people in those jobs should be qualified for them.
