Hi all,
I am looking to get my PMP certification. I am still in the early stages of everything, but I have a quick question about listing the PM experience in the application. I was a Project Manager for a translation company for about 4 years. Basically, companies would send us documents that we would then translate into different languages for them. At any given time, PMs were usually managing about 5-8 different projects. The majority of these projects only lasted a month or two. So I must have worked on about 200 projects during my time there. My question is this: Since my projects were so small and so frequent, I do not remember the details for the large majority of them - so how detailed do the project descriptions have to be? Can the project objective be something like "To translate a document into 5 languages" or does it need to be more specific than that? If I were still at my previous company, I would be able to look back on our servers to get specific details about the projects I worked on, but since I am no longer there, I'm concerned that I won't be able to provide the information that they're looking for. Additionally, if I am audited, I'm worried that if my project information is incorrect (wrong start/end dates, wrong amount of time spent on the project, etc.), my former supervisor will not sign the documentation and my application will be rejected.
Any advice around this (particularly from any PMs who also has lots of similar small projects) would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
