Hi,

I have been working in the IT industry since 5 years now as a BA in big MNC. I have worked in capacities of a BA, Product owner and Scrum master.

I would like to get PMP certified and plan on to join REP. I have few questions

1.)Will PMP be helpful in My career stream of a BA. My future goal is to get into management side or Consulting.

2) How much average time should be taken on dauly basis to get certified

3) For what amount should I wait to give the exam. What if i start REP from April 1, 2014, when do you think should I give the exam

4) How often does the PMP version change. Considering that it is PMBOK 5 now. Even if the version changes does it mean that the study  course changes completely?

5) Can sombedy share an ideal timeline plan for PMP study?

Thanks,

C
