Project Management Professional (PMP) is an internationally recognized professional designation offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI). Currently, there are 452 PMP certified professionals in Bangladesh, and in the Public sector, the number of PMP certified is very few. PMP exam is hard and without compatible preparation, if you progress for this exam then it would be a waste both of your time and money.
Today as we see, software has become an inseparable part of human life. Almost everything we can look around is managed, controlled by software.
The goal of software project management is to understand, plan, measure, and control the project such that it is delivered on time and on budget. This involves gathering requirements, managing risk, monitoring and controlling progress, and following a software development process.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Specific ServPoints should be tailored for restaurants in all food service segments. Your ServPoints should be the centerpiece of brand delivery training (guest service) and align with your brand position and marketing initiatives, especially in high-labor-cost conditions.

31. The Project Management Profession
The profession of project management is
growing at a very rapid pace
It is helpful to understand the history of the
field, the role of professional societies like
the Project Management Institute, and the
growth in project management software
Information Technology Project Management,

32. Global Issues
Several global dynamics are forcing organizations
to rethink their practices:
Talent development for project and program
managers is a top concern
Good project portfolio management is crucial in
tight economic conditions
Basic project management techniques are core
competencies
Organizations want to use more agile approaches
to project management
Benefits realization of projects is a key metric 32
33. Project Management Certification
The Project Management Institute (PMI) is an international
professional society for project managers with 380,000
members worldwide in 2012
Project Management Professional (PMP) has
documented sufficient project experience, agreed to follow a
code of ethics, and passed the PMP exam
Certified Associate in PM (CAPM) is achievable with less
experience
CompTIA offers another certification option
CompTIA Project+ has less requirements but is not as well
recognized as PMP
33
34. Ethics in Project Management
Ethics, loosely defined, is a set of principles that
guide our decision making based on personal values
of what is “right” and “wrong”
Project managers often face ethical dilemmas
In order to earn PMP certification, applicants must
agree to PMI’s Code of Ethics and Professional
Conduct
Several questions on the PMP exam are related to
professional responsibility, including ethics
34
35. Project Management Software
There are hundreds of different products to assist
in performing project management
Three main categories of tools:
Low-end tools
Midrange tools
High-end tools
