PMI used to require submission of a PM experience resume which went into great detail.  This resume allocated your work experience to the various PM processes and procedures. 

• This application resume is no longer required. 
  • Judging by all the e-mails I receive asking about this, there is a lot of confusion among the candidates on this issue. 
  • Let's clear it up for everyone:

The new application method starting in February 2002 requires PMP candidates to prepare PM experience verification forms, not the previously required resume.  (See the PMI Certification Handbook for details.)

My review of these forms on August 27, 2002 indicates all PMI did was move away from a resume submission to a form submission which standardizes the experience reporting approach. 

• You still need to be able to document your projects and then plug them into the categories of the five PM processes. 
• A copy of the form appears in the PMP Certification Handbook available on PMI's web site. 
• You can submit your verification forms electronically on PMI's website.
