A short story behind getting this certification:
- I had the idea of pursuing this certification some time ago, but I made the decision about 1.5 years ago after consulting with Olha Smiian Thank you, you are my inspirational muse!
- I received a course and exam package from the Project Management Institute as a birthday gift from my beloved husband, Oleksandr Kaskov 🥰. I started preparing while pregnant and continued with a little 👶🏻 in my arms.
- When I was close to scheduling the exam, I noticed that the exam simulator had disappeared from my learning package. The reason was that PMBOK version 6 had been replaced by version 7, meaning I had to restart my preparation according to the new standard. It was frustrating because I wasn’t informed in advance. However, the good news was that PMI agreed to extend my exam deadline by six months and upgraded my profile with the new PMBOK 7 course (I appreciate it!).
- Unfortunately, the new package didn’t include a test, so I purchased an additional one from KnowledgeMap (thank you for your help, Anatolii Savin
I can’t say the exam itself was difficult in my case, but finding the time to prepare properly was a challenge—balancing parenting, continuing my career growth, staying human while exploring a new hobby 📸, maintaining and improving an old one 💃, and volunteering for PMI Ukraine Chapter 🇺🇦 .
The decision for the next step has already been taken. PMP is loading 😂
