Project IT+ Certification

Contract MCSE Additional Certification

The new Comptia.com certification called IT Project+, is a evaluation of a Project Manager who has a minimum of one years experience on small IT projects. This is the starting point for a consultant of a corporate employee who want to exhibit his or her abilities to manage projects within their organization and see them through on time, on budget and properly assured that the deliverable meets the business needs.

I began studying for this certification about the 15th of January, 2002 an completed it February 25th, 2002.

The materials for direct study for this certification is limited. I purchased the only book I could find that indicated it was intended to help one pass this test. The book is by Kathy Schwalbe and is titled Information Technology Project Management ( It also has an accompanying study guide that I definitely recommend. The link above will take you to Kathy’s Personal page at Augsburg College in Minneapolis and relate additional information to aid in your IT Project+ endeavors.

I also bought and have begun the long road to the coveted PMP Certification. Kathy took the PMBOK (Project Manager Book of Knowledge) as the blueprint in the academic presentation of PM basics. As this is the primary guide for all PM’s currently in the field and will be the basis for most certifications going forward, I feel this is invaluable.

If you have any additional sources of study relating to Project Management certifications or just to improve a PM’s ability to guide projects to success, Please contribute them via e-mail to the webmaster of this site.

I will continue to build this portion of the site to help myself and anyone else who may be pursuing Project Management skills and study materials.
