This week's featured lessons learned comes to us courtesy of Uthaya Shankar Misilamani, PMP. Uthaya Shankar Misilamani journey began in Dec of 2013 and it was only last month that he took and successfully passed the PMP exam. Get to learn more from his experience and what it would take to prepare, be accepted by PMI and to sit for the exam to become PMP certified.

Uthaya Shankar Misilamani, PMP says: "The Exam itself – was moderately tough but very tricky with about 35 calculation based questions. I completed the exam in 3hours and 40 minutes. I used the remaining time of 20 minutes to review the questions I had ‘Marked for Review’ but I only changed about 2 answers as I didn’t want to second guess my initial gut-feel-judgement. The moment of truth then began when I ended the exam. I chose to do the brief exam survey at the end to distress a little. This was it....When I clicked submit, the moment I’d been waiting for, these past few months was here at last. “Congratulations on Passing the PMI Examination” appeared on screen. It was an awesome feeling to see that and I breathed a deep sigh of relief. I walked out with a big smile on my face, handed all the scratch material to the facilitators and collected my results (I passed – proficient in all areas). As I drove out and away from the building I called my wife and gave her the news. It was an awesome feeling, an amazing journey and I’m really glad I made it this far. Oh, and of course, the celebrations began !!! The rest is history...."
