I am a Project Management Professional (PMP)

As of this afternoon, I am now a Project Management Professional (PMP), certified by the Project Management Institute (PMI).

In order to achieve this certification, I had to document 4,500 hours of time leading project tasks, 35 contact hours of project management training, and pass the exam.  I actually documented about 5,600 hours of time and 71 hours of training.  This certification is not so much a new skill for me as the formal recognition of skills that I already have and use.  This should enable me to more easily get through the screen for positions that require these skills and/or certification.

My wife got this certification several years ago, so we are now a 2 PMP family.
