I have a few questions regarding submitting experience for the PMP application.
1. I spend 20 months as a Proposal Project manager working on approx. 10 proposals during that time. I performed the same tasks per phase for each proposal. Could I list the 20 months as one project? Or would I need to list each proposal project separately with their specific dates? See summary write up below.
Goal: Develop pursuit documents which include a winning solution to provide services for an external client, leading to a long-term relationship and continued client satisfaction
IN: Led go/no go process with key internal stakeholders; Developed draft project charter for stakeholders to review
PL: Organized proposal team and developed RAM; Defined the RFP response template with boilerplate text based on RFP requirements and quality standards set; Developed proposal response plan, schedule and budget; Led kickoff meeting providing overview of opportunity, response schedule and assignments
EX: Managed project resources and developed required outputs according to RAM
MC: Led status meetings, progress reporting, obtaining additional support, and handled any escalations as needed; Drove any required approved changes
CL: Led coordination of packaging and distributing the proposal; Archived all documents according to security standards; Conducted debrief to review status and lessons learned
Outcome: Delivered RFP response to client with a solution that matched the scope of services requested on time and on budget
2. I worked as a project manager on a program pilot to produce a plan to be rolled out nationwide. See write up below. I planned to submit as an Agile project. Considering the summary, would PMI count this as a project?
Goal: Plan and test a educational program at the regional level, improving along the way, to deliver a program plan to the Internal client to launch across all regions in the United States
IN: Conducted stakeholder analysis; Defined project objectives and outcomes; Secured resources
PL: Clearly defined project scope; Developed project plan –, schedule, budget, quality, communications;
EX: Led kickoff meeting and all status meetings; Led review meetings to obtain feedback and make updates during next sprint
MC: Managed scope, schedule, costs, stakeholders and project team; Distributed status reports and change updates
CL: Confirmed finalization of program plan to be delivered to internal stakeholders; Conduct team debrief to discuss lessons learned; Archive all project information according to company standards
Outcome: A complete program plan was delivered to internal stakeholders to implement program at a larger scale to use across the United States.
Thank you in advance for any assistance provided.
