PMP 认证---移民进入企业管理层的敲门砖!


作者:Victor

我们大陆移民远渡重洋来到北美,为的是追求美好的生活。但许多同胞片面认为,由于语言的差距,华人这辈子就是干技术的命了。Team leader或系统分析师就到头了。那么华人在西方企业有没有走向管理层的机会呢? 有!捷径就是PMP认证。

对于大多数来到北美的技术新移民来说,Job is a job。是我们得以生存的手段。但对另一些人来说,工作是我们丰富多彩生活的一部分,是迈向成功理想的career。

Career 似乎是对传统意义的专业人员banker, charter accountant, lawyer 和 doctor的专业描述。但当我们也开始用career path的角度来分析我们的工作时, 我们就会考虑 growth, direction, opportunities 和 paths。而绝大多数人会把走向企业管理层作为一个growth的目标。

一个可以帮助我们通往Career这个目标的阶梯就是-----PMP认证。

PMP - 进入企业管理层的敲门砖!

PMP,英文Project Management Professional的缩写,中文意思就是项目管理专业人员资格认证,是由PMI(美国项目管理协会)发起的、严格评估项目管理人员知识技能是否具有高品质的资格认证考试。其目的是为了给项目管理人员提供统一的行业标准。而且在1999年,PMP考试成功地通过了ISO9001国际质量认证,成为了第一个获得此项荣誉的认证考试。取得PMP认证的人员就具有和掌握了项目管理专业知识及工作经验,从而可以成为项目管理专业人员。

PMP价值:美国项目管理学会(简称PMI)所颁发的项目管理专业人士(简称PMP)资质认证已成为全球最具权威的项目管理资格认证。在世界各国尤其是美国和加拿大等西方发达国家,PMP已经被认为是合格的项目管理专业人员的标志。美国《财富》杂志断言,项目管理将成为21世纪的黄金职业。众多跨国公司也把拥有PMP认证作为人才录用的首要条件,并给予远高于其他人员的薪酬待遇。PMP项目管理是一种采用标准化的科学思维、组织、决策的方法,即用最短的时间、付出最小的成本、达到最好效果的运作方式。

随着各大公司的不断发展,具有某项目管理能力的人才,成为了各大公司追逐的目标,这也说明了项目管理专家认证已经渐渐成为了继MBA、MPA等国际认证后又一个“王牌”认证,而且在应用方面,项目管理专家认证远远要超过MBA、MPA等,项目管理已在国际航天、电子、通讯、计算机、软件开发、建筑、制药、金融等行业甚至政府机关内广泛应用。许多世界上著名的大公司如IBM, HP, Big 5, 摩托罗拉、朗讯、摩根.斯坦利、乃至白宫、美国能源部和世界银行都采用项目管理的模式运作,并要求无论是为了公司业务的壮大还是为了个人职业的发展,有关项目管理人员应当拥有PMP证书。PMP认证目前已被全球许多国家及项目管理界人士所认可。通过认证的专业人员也由20世纪80年代的几十名发展到目前的4万多名,遍布欧洲、北美、大洋州以及亚洲的韩国、日本、新加坡和中国。尤其是在欧美,PMP更是具有超越MBA的趋势。

既然要学习,自然也就有它有用之处,PMP自然也不会例外。项目管理是二战后快速发展起来的一种计划管理方法,它一出现便举世瞩目,大量的成功案例证实这是当今世界上最先进高效的一种管理模式。项目管理以满足客户需求为驱动力,高效的利用人力,财力,物力及其他资源以达到大幅度缩短工期、降低成本和提高质量的业务目标。目前。在全球最发达的企业机构和政府部门中项目管理已成为其运作的主流管理模式。美国项目管理协会主席Paur Grace断言, “在当今社会,一切都是项目,一切也将成为项目”。

PMP作为项目管理专业人员的象征,在经济高度发展的北美现在已经有越来越多的人给予了重视,因为项目管理在企业经营中发挥着降低成本,提高效率的管理作用。而这些无疑是现在企业生存的条件。而PMP项目管理认证正好可以满足各个企业的需求。因此,拥有较多PMP认证人员的企业必将增强其市场竞争能力。这也就是为什么企业对于拥有PMP认证的人员格外重视的最大原因。

如果您是有志闯入管理层的专业人员,或是瞄准国内高级管理职位的“海归”人士,敬请注意PMP认证的相关信息,可查www.pmi.org

If your English communication skill is very very strong - even better than most native Canadian, it is useful to have PMP for you.

Otherwise, forget it.
 
i don;t know anything about PMP, i just thought it;s might be useful to soem ppl, that's why i re-posted it.
 
PMP looks good. But there are many certification programs around: PDMA http://www.pdma.org/, Marketer etc. It is good to have knowledge of the areas. However, hands-on experience is also important.

In my opinion, school degree is better than certification.
 
PMP is only a nice-to-have on your resume. However you can't build your career just on PMP. The normal route to be a PMP is that you should have years of hands-on experience within one or few fields.

I've got to say that the article you posted looks very much like a commercial advertisement. :)
 
看见文章前面的部分感觉耳目一新,但是看完了后半部分之后,哈哈,一个广告而已。。所以梅子有广告的嫌疑。。
 
以前最瞧不起的就是Project manager,各部门,客户那里到处
协调,整个一个动嘴皮子的.通常这种人都是公司里不学无术打杂
的.对这种人,我们从来都是爱理不理的.要知道,我们技术和
市场才是创造价值的.
 
Let's see if you can still be technically competent at age 50. :smokin:
 
It depends on what level you are on. As a designer or tester, you have to
learn new programming languages, and a new guy is always better and faster
for that. You cannot count on you present skills for more than 5 years. If
you only see the skills as you learn C yesterday, C++/Java today and .NET
tomorrow, it is endless. But if you take a look at a higher level, the network
architecture level, you can see the old knowledge still useful. Every new
technolodge is based on the old one. Ex, we see from circiut swicthing to
packet switching and then back to circiut switching again. Now the experience
you had 10 years ago on circuit switching becomes useful again.
Unlike the programming language, most of the algorithms we used are developed
10 years ago. That means if you are an expert now, you may probably still an
expert 10 years later. You have a longer life for your career.
As for project manager, I cannot see anything an ordinary guy cannot do. All
you need is some knowledge on project management and a good interpersonal
skills which the natives are always better than you.
 
看来,Programmer自视很高啊.不失为中国特色的一大特色.

最早国营单位的时候,管机房大门和空调的老师傅,为了给国家节省电费,35度高温还不开冷气,我们就经常威胁他:"师傅,一台服务器好贵啊,顶你十年的工资,我们中暑了不要紧,机器要是烧坏了,您可担不起责任."老师傅一听,吓坏了,赶紧把冷气打开.这一招是必杀技,从来不会失手.

带电脑出差,给电脑买保险,生怕有点什么闪失.随电脑的一帮大活人,想买意外保险回去没办法报销,只好自求多福吧.

总之,机器值钱,人不值钱;自然,跟机器打交道的programmer牛B,跟人打交道的project manager是耍嘴皮的,打杂去吧.

来到加拿大,思想转不过弯来,算culture shock吧.:D
 
haha..haha..hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. :lol::lol:
Even conceptual design at the architecture level requires extensive technical knowledge. For example, if your knowledge base is stagnant for 10 years, as an architect, how would you know the new technical options that are out there on the IT market?

I think you are extremely naive in 2 ways:
1. that it is easier to be a technical architect than to be a PMP;
2. that YOU can be a technical architect at age 50, and not just any architect, but the kind that sit on their @ss all day using technologies from years back.

Over the years, I find that although managerial skills can be acquired, they are however largely innate, i.e. you are either born with them or not. Where I'm getting is that not just anyone can be a manager, NO WAY.

The problem is anybody can be project manager. China is good at
mass production. There is no hope for such a career if the entry level
is not high. programmer is another example. No matter what you are
going to do, make sure others cannot.Or at least they cannot do it easily.

This is the point! No matter the job is technical or business related.

It is just an example telling you that the experience is always
useful from a high level of view. Not telling you can stay there
doing nothing for 10 years. The knowledge required to be an
expert in networking cannot be gained within 5 years. But what is
needed to be a project manager? Is there any limit that prevent
an person to be a project manager? What is the entry level of
project manager? Ask yourself what is your strength. Then decide
whether it is competent for you to be a project manager. Especially
when English is not your native language.
Don't be a project manager in China, you will be looked down upon
by the technical guys and only used as a servant by the marketing
guys. (this really happens, at least in all the companies I worked
with). So, What you expect here not to mention the competetion with
local guys.
 
one thing I think you may not understand, most of the theoretical
parts of today's technology are done 10 years ago. most of the
improvements after that are minor, the milestones are already there.
So the theory/algorithm 10 years ago are not out of date to some extent. At least not like fortran and basic to programming languages
today.

To be a network architecture, you should have a Ph.D. and more
than 10 years industrial experience. i.e. you need 10 years post secondary eduaction and 10 years working experience. But you
mentioned to be an MPM is more difficult, can you explain why?

And if the MPM is so difficult to get, the person with it should
be admired. And generally, people like to listen to them.
