Well, we can defined the proper method to measure points. It's a matter of discussion of ideas :)
I think the advantage here is that they're just passing the responsability for credential updating to the professional, so PMI doesn't care about creating or updating the exame _just_ to re-certification. It's PMP (professional) responsability to watch lectures, write a book or whatever were defined by PMI to gain points. Of course, just an idea :) Lisiane On 5/2/07, Marcus Magalhaes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Dear Lisiane, There's a somewhat difficult problem that needs to be addressed, in order to make the idea work: how to measure "points" properly? PMP method is flawed. Under current specs, watching two lectures give you exactly the same number of "points" as if you wrote a book in Project Management. Exams are far simpler. I still believe that a smaller exam carrying a lower price will do the job. Not that I'll be happy being forced to take an exam just to _keep_ my current status, but this is a sistematically simple solution.
