That was five years ago and I have no plans to pursue my PMP at any point in the future. Because what you learn to get your PMP and what you need to manage software projects are not the same set of skills...and nobody seems to realize it. That could be said for any kind of project in any industry. I speak as a PMP. The only reason PMP is useful to me is to convince employers that I know how to manage projects. It has nothing to do with reality, and so it is unfortunate that employers view it as a positive signal. It's not an effective filter because you still need to fully assess potential employee candidates in order to avoid false positives.
