For newcomers, the whole path of PRINCE2® certifications needs to be very clear. Remember, the day of the examination is the final day of preparation before you achieve your target of gaining PRINCE2® certification.

Do's and Don'ts
Keep the following in mind on the exam day:
- Wake up early in the morning, refresh, and quickly review all the important points
- Have a light breakfast before leaving for the exam centre
- Reach the centre at least 35-40 minutes prior to exam start time
Do’s and Don’ts at the exam centre
- As the exam starts, you need to be poised and confident
- Don’t think about the office or home, it’s just a matter of 60 minutes or 150 minutes after which you will get ample time to ponder over your day-to-day hassles and responsibilities
- Quickly review each question and don’t feel helpless/dejected if any question seems tough
- Start answering one by one but read each question very carefully before answering
- Take a few seconds rest every 15 minutes just by taking deep breaths or closing your eyes
Preparation for the exam day
Just a few days before the examination, you will be asked to fill in your profile details form where you would have to write your name and address apart from some other details. Be careful while writing your name and address as it will appear in your certificate that will be dispatched.
Be calm and maintain a positive frame of mind on the examination day! You need to carry a photo identity, the approved book (if it is an open book examination), pen, pencil, and eraser to the exam hall. Apart from these articles, you are not permitted to carry any other material. If you are carrying any non-permitted article, you would have to hand it over to the invigilator before entering the exam centre. For the Practitioner level exams, a hard copy of the approved manual is permitted.
Preparation for the PRINCE2® Certification examination
You need to be well-prepared for the examination at any level – Foundation or Practitioner. The examination is not going to be easy due to limited time and a large number of questions. You would have to think fast and solve the problems correctly within the given duration!
The purpose of the Foundation certification is to test whether you will be able to be a productive member of a project management team that uses PRINCE2®. To pass the certification examination successfully, you need to demonstrate that you understand the significance of the PRINCE2® terms and principles. The questions are set in such a way that your understanding of all the eight process and sub-processes, eight components, basis of the techniques applied, and the purpose of roles will be tested.
In the Practitioner examination, your understanding level on processes, themes, and techniques will be tested. Your knowledge of the interactions among PRINCE2® management products, techniques, processes, and themes will be tested. The questions are set to see how well you apply your knowledge on these different aspects in real-world situations.
In the PRINCE2® Agile Foundation certification, your concept and understanding of PRINCE2® governance needs, different Agile techniques such as Kanban, Start-up, Scrum, etc., and the interface of PRINCE2® and agile process of working will be tested.
The PRINCE2® Agile Practitioner certification examination is a scenario-based examination. This includes case studies where different scenarios are given followed by questions related to them which you would have to solve.
Always remember, that this is a tight exam and time will be short and questions will be more. So, it will be a real test of your speed, acumen, and knowledge. All these aspects need to be properly integrated if you want to pass the exam and become a PRINCE2® certified professional. This capability only improves with diligent practice. You would have to prepare well before the examination. Attend the classes regularly, understand the concepts well, use reference books as required, revise and practice a lot with examination papers from the previous years.

How much should I pay to renew PSM certification?There is no need to renew PSM certification: Scrum.org certificates are lifelong and do not require any additional payments or renewals.Career benefits of PSM certifiedConsequently, becoming now a certified and experienced professional in Agile expertise seems to be an interesting option to stay at least “employable” and marketable. Still being realistic, professionals in Agile will be directly requested either to perform the Agile transformation in many big (old) organizations or to build the Agile culture from scratch in new companies and startups. Attractive and valuable challenges are in perspective.

How To Handle a Project Management Crisis?
By Elena Gray
When a project hits a barrier, it can take an entire team into crisis mode. Alarm bells will ring, coworkers will panic and the shareholders rush towards the project manager – means you. This is a perfect time to come into limelight. The key to success in this role is, you should be able to handle sensitive situations with a time-conscious, and solution-based approach. A successful project manager is one who is proficient in using a variety of approaches during periods of high-pressure to ensure that the team remains motivated and engaged, ultimately driving the project forward. Project management training helps you to ensure your project will move along smoothly and you can lead your project to success. The best-laid projects are always the one which are prone to issues and problems. In this situation, if you fail to stay green not knowing how to handle project management crisis, it can result in loss of a company, public distrust, and other problems in future projects. With regards to it, this article has been written to guide how you can gracefully handle project management crisis by following these steps. Tips for Successfully Handling Your Next Project Management Crisis 1. Notice the Early Signs Being a project manager you ought to be vigilant enough to smell any minor warning or sign gesturing towards a big crisis going to happen. Even challenges that appear unexpectedly can have warning signs and take notice of these will make or break the project deadline. Remaining mindful of bits of gossip, following insights nearly, and distinguishing even minor partner concerns are certain quick approaches to continue best of an issue. Walking out on an issue, regardless of how little it starts, will just abandon it to become greater while you aren’t looking. 2. Develop Detailed Contingency Plans with your Crisis Management Team Always assign at least one person, either from department heads or management staff, per each department to be trained and accountable for vindicating an effects of crises in their respective sectors. These should include at the very least, in addition to the CEO, heads of: HR Marketing Sales IT Nevertheless, it’s your responsibility to handle matters being a project manager, still the fact is only best managers know when to ask for help. If you amass your group when you take the administrative rules, not exclusively will you be better arranged for when emergency strikes, however, your associates will be inspired with your proactivity and early administration sharpness. 3. Communicate With Your Team Communication is the best way to coordinate, and remain involved with your team. Open correspondence effectively heads out any disarray and uncertainty, keeping specialists refreshed with changes as they happen. At times, even expert professionals get panic and become negative under mounting pressure – it is up to the project manager to implement a positive and centered viewpoint consistently to help oversee push. 4. Identify the Cause The primary step for solving your project crisis is, try to identify the root case. How to identify the root cause? Find the division in which the root issue surfaced. Once you take the control of the root cause and cease crisis from further spreading than it already was, so it’ll become easier to repair the damage done and get your team back on track. Don’t simply single out colleagues that committed an error. Survey the realities, and hold a meeting to generate new ideas with the entire group, examining how to best keep this emergency from rehashing itself. 5. Be Optimistic & Keep Your Cool Head Never let your courage get down at a time of crisis, and stay optimistic as you have to lead the ship In the face of disaster. Panic does nobody any good and exacerbates an already tumultuous time. If you lose your cool, so will your team. Your group and associates will be seeking you for direction and good help. Show others how it’s done. In the event that your group sees that you are concerned, centered, yet quiet and gathered, they will imitate your aura. If you manage to stay calm at this time, your group will feel persuaded to buckle down at settling what is tormenting your association. In no way, shape or form give anybody false expectation, yet positive thinking is infectious and inspires your group. 6. Find the Silver Lining at time of Crisis As it is said that everything happens for a reason, and every cloud has a silver lining, etc. these all sayings has a certain truth behind them until and unless a person doesn’t recognize it in worst time. After you’ve survived a few crises, and have thoroughly kept records of your crisis management, you will not only do a better job at monitoring and prevention but the next time a crisis rears its ugly head you will be prepared with the tools to solve it in the most expedient manner possible. Do not welcome crisis, but take advantage of the one benefit it does offer you: that is an experience. 7. Update with the Bad Be realistic with your team, it will make certain that the expectations are clear, as we understand nobody ever likes to hear more bad news during a time of crisis. Being project manager, never get afraid of delivering issues to patrons and highlighting when a problem is urgent. Indeed, they will value being kept tuned in and working nearby an expert group that is straightforward and reliable. 8. Be Solution-Focused Not only planning and particular tactics work to handle any challenging situation, but I believe one’s personality and specific qualities also work as a weapon to fight as a warrior in these circumstances. A leading project manager will need to work tirelessly to ensure their teams stay positive and enthusiastic in searching for a solution. Be solution focused no matter what problem you are going through. Concentrating on understanding the reason for the issue will convey you substantially nearer to finding an answer than a passing fault, which could convey the venture to a stop. Encouraging negative correspondence will have no pick up for you or your associates. 9. Prevention Is Better Than Cure This is not only an idiom, but an ultimate and evergreen guidance to follow in all aspects of life. It’s wise to kill the problem before it grows bigger. It may require an in-depth research, fine attention to detail, and an excellent communication. Obviously, there will dependably be circumstances that can’t be predicted and in such cases, a venture director should utilize the test as an opportunity to exceed expectations and guarantee a similar issue does not occur once more.
