I have used the Indian Rupee symbol in Management Scholars Academy website to quote the course fee for our PMP boot camp here http://msacademy.in/pmp-rupakara.htm using rupakara font. Rupakara is a new font created by Michael Everson to give support to the newly invented Indian Rupee Sign, which has been assigned to U+20B9 by Unicode. You can see the rupee symbol in my site only if you have the rupakara font installed in your computer. You can download the font for free from here http://www.evertype.com/fonts/rupakara/
The August month PMP boot camp concluded well with 14 Project Managers joining the program this time. They were from CSC, TCS, Aricent, HCL, Ford, iNautix, Laserbeam Software, Focus Infotech and Keane Consulting. The average experience of this team was high (12+ years) and it showed in their focus and performance in the tests.
I wrote about TRIZ Principle -1 - Segmentation in the earlier blog. Here I am writing about two more TRIZ principles.
Principle – 2. Taking Out (Separate an interfering part or property from an object, or single out the only necessary part (or property) of an object.
By segmentation principle we have segmented our work/project. There is always a chance of troublesome or critical segment or part in our work, which we can take out and handle separately.
The artists among you will like this one. If you want to publish and promote your work, in whatever form (music, videos, artwork, websites etc) as a catalog, You can do it at behance.net and share it over web, facebook, linkedIN, twitter and so on. I created a project for the “MS Academy PMP boot camp” out of the first slide of all the course material, the learning points on each of the 12 topics, with the great images I bought from dreamtemplate(dot)com and published it on Behance as a project www.behance.net/gallery/PMP-Boot-Camp-in-Chennai-from-MS-Academy/614589 Putting it in a place like this and giving links back to your site will also get you google juice.
The July month PMP boot camp went well with 15 project managers from iSoft, HOV, Zenta, CSC, TCS, Ford and iNautix joining us at Raj Palace Sundar on 10th 11th 17th and 18th of July. The unique thing about this team was that all of them were from IT companies and all of them could speak Tamizh. (Are you asking if we gave all examples, from IT in tamizh? not exactly.)
The June month PMP boot camp was conducted successfully on June 12,13,19 and 20th. The feedback from the participants was very positive.
The response for the July month boot camp is very encouraging. In addition, we are getting inquiries for Agile project management / MS Project / Risk Management workshop etc. We are sure that we can offer good value through more and more project management training programs.
The June month MS Academy PMP boot camp started last Saturday with 12 participants. The special news about this boot camp is the profile of participants. We have
Krishnakumar R, AVP Quality Isoft who came from Bangalore
Chandrakumar, SPIN Chennai president and Program Manager at HP
Sammy Kumaresh, an entrepreneur who had come all the way from Toronto, Canada,
Balaji Ramamurthy a full time planner in Dana Gas who came from Sharjah, UAE
1. Read the PMBoK 4th edition two to three times before taking the exam. In that once use mind mapping to take notes. On scope, quality and procurement knowledge areas, there will be some questions straight from inputs / tools and techniques / output; In risk management the order of events (the process flow) is important; etc. So reading PMBoK is crucial. If you can get someone to explain PMBoK concepts, from begin to end, with illustrations, you should grab that opportunity. Technical documents can be boring to read by yourselves.
