ServiceNow and PMP Certification

morganscrul · yesterday

I'm currently preparing for the PMP certification. Has anyone here found that their ServiceNow project or portfolio management experience helped with PMP prep? if so, in what ways?

Hi @morganscrul

I’m not PM certified, but as a BPC, I’d say that Project Management (PM) is more of a process or methodology, whereas ServiceNow is a tool or platform. Both might sync well together or sometimes not fully align.

Definitely, in today’s era, if you have strong tool knowledge, it helps you understand the process better and earn the certification more easily.

That’s my take—let’s wait and hear from others as well.

I am PMP certified (AT in all domains) and to my personal opinion the PMP certifications targets more of a PM mindset. Scenario based where there are multiple correct answers/options however what/how as a PM you would incline to the best of the options there matters. ServiceNow PPM module or experience focusses more on how you would configure and use the Project Management concepts or best practices in ServiceNow eco system. Still ServiceNow Project or portfolio management experience aligns to the PMP exam but only to the extent of about 10-20%. I have seen both ends and specially if PMP exam/certification is your goal then I would suggest the following:

For PMP mindset I would suggest 'PMP mindset video from Mohammad Rahman on Youtube'. Twice if you have the time. And then the core sections can be covered by following the below links.
