I am Karthikeyan Vivekanandhan and I hold an Bachelors degree in Engineering(Mechanical) and a Masters degree in Business Administration. I have  been  working with Hewlett Packard over the past 10 years. My professional competency includes Project Management, Test Management and Agile.

The changing business environment requires practicing project managers to have a formalized education/certification  on the time tested methodology of Project Management named PMP.

What better testimonial than a live coaching  student becoming a brand new PMP. This past Thursday< June 7, at approximately 3:45 PM, I viewed the "Congratulations" on my monitor after patiently completing the Prometric survey.

My journey began in 2001, when my favorite manager at IBM placed me on the project management baseline.  I was always too busy with work and family and yes very intimidated by this PMP thing. I thought a degree in Project Management would be necessary. I had taken many of the IBM Project Management courses, but had never attained the degree. In 2010, I decided enough was enough and I would try to achieve the PMP status.
