PMP has been on mind for 3-4 years now. I have been a PM for more than 5+ years, but never felt the need for a certification. Even as a Java developer, I never believed in getting a SCJP. A certification does not really help in a real world scenario, but its always good to have it under your belt as an ego boost.
The best programmers learn during the process of development. A certification only serves as a reminder to his peers/boss that they have a command over the programming language. That's the reason I never valued PMP much and put my prep in the back burner while handling important project activities of meeting deadline deliverables.
Of the drivers who meet with an accident, most of them have a Driving Permit, and yet they are involved in collisions. While the driving permit does not make them a better driver, it does teach them how to handle certain situations and how to avoid an accident. Same goes for PMP.
So, while the certification itself cannot guarantee project success, having it can save us from assured pitfalls. Hence, the sudden need for this PMP certification.
