How (and why) to avoid short projects on your PMP application
According to PMI’s PMP handbook, you should list your projects individually. The problem is, most applications I’ve seen that have more than 7 projects were rejected.
So what’s going on here? Why does PMI say you have to list all your projects individually, but you will likely be rejected if you include many short projects? To answer that question, you need to understand that the application approval process is actually very subjective.
Now, you might ask: What counts as a “professional” project? How does PMI decide whether your experience was on a qualifying “Project” versus on non-qualifying “Operations”? Does a one-month project qualify?
The answer is: “Who Cares!” — if the reviewer decides some of your experience doesn’t qualify, they will just reject your application.
