Apple and Microsoft - the continuous debate

I will probably be in agreement with most of you, when I say that Apple has definitely re-invented the computer through their innovative design, characteristic colors, transparent plastic and cool shapes.

After seeing such a great design, with an easy-to-use (although sometimes still cumbersome) interface on their OS, people might think: what could be best? Is there anything better than iPhone, could anyone innovate more than them?

Beating a successful design, coming up with even greater ideas is not an easy task - lots of brainstorming happens, long nights spent in imagining other ways of creating a lot of practicality combined with a cool touch...

And when I was thinking that all was said and done, I have seen this cool ad for Microsoft, and I felt that there is still a lot of great stuff to be brought to life:

Watch this video - I find it inspiring, and although it might match to other companies, it comes from Microsoft - so you either love it, or hate it!

Getting PMP certified

I've got a lot of friends asking me about how to get certified. Each time, I had to remember how many hours of experience one had to have, and how many hours of learning, and then which where the links that were most useful for me, as well as all the books and software I have ever used. In terms of specific requirements for getting certified, the best resource will always be pmi.org, with a direct link to the requirements: PMI site - Obtaining the Credential . The site lists a credential overview, and then there (currently) 5 handbooks for the 5 available certifications. There is also a page with how to prepare for the exam, from an administrative point of view. If you are new to project management, then you will have to go with the CAPM certification. Then, the rest of certifications are for more and more experienced PMs. I only know well about the PMP certification, as it's the one I've got. First step is to ensure that you meet the elgibility requirements. At the t...

What a day...

How many times did it happen to you to get home, and think about your day, and suddenly remembering that you did not all the things on your (mental) list?... It just happened to me, and I am angry with me... Is it something common? What do you do when this happens to you? How do you organize your time?

PMP certification - prep questions

As the Getting PMP certified article got so much positive feedback, I though I should also share some of the providers of free tests. I have also used them during my certification prep period as well, and I've found them really useful. You should simulate your exam at least 3 times before stating that you are ready for the BIG TEST, so the links below should help you a lot. Still, one word of caution: not all the questions seem to have the right response, and not all explanations are really in line with PMBoK - but if you have a good knowledge of the practice part of Project Management, and if you've read the books I've recommended, you can already discover them. Don't go for the real PMP exam if you don't score 80% in these simulations - they seemed to me a little bit easier than the real exam. http://www.pmhub.net/ PMSuccess offers via PMHub.net 400 questions to play with. Not an exam simulation per-se, but you can always try to do 200 questions in a row t...
