Event Details

The PfMP Bootcamp is an intense program that has been achieving near perfect passing on the first try when utilizing the full suite of resources from PMI and PMO Advisory. To enable learning, this course applies a combination of traditional lecturing of key concepts, discussion of cases and examples, review of important artifacts, and sharing of experiences. Most importantly, this course includes access to the PfMP Exam Simulator, which contains over 1,700 questions. As PMI appears to be migrating the exam toward the 4th Edition of the Standard for Portfolio Management, PMI Advisory is creating a new test bank with over 1,000 questions based on the 4th edition.

The values of this certification are as follows:
• Develop and strengthen project portfolio management knowledge and framework
• Position and prepare for a senior management role by becoming an influential decision
  maker in the allocation of resources and in making strategic investment decisions.

   •   Portfolio managers who strive to achieve a globally recognized certification
   •   PMO leaders who are managing a large number of projects and programs and pools of
       resources
   •   Project and program managers who are seeking greater responsibilities and rewards
   •   Financial, marketing and operational executives who work closely with project

       and program managers in their organization and who are in a position to influence

       strategy implementation decisions
   •   Up and coming project professionals who are ready to take the next leap into mid- to
       upper-level management in their organization
   •   Senior project professionals who are “accidental project managers” and who have

       grown beyond the PMP credential.

Learning Goals:   After this course, attendees should be able to:
   •   Explain the context of portfolio management in organizations
   •   Articulate the role of the portfolio manager and the key challenges
