"I can get PMP certified by taking a weekend prep course"
Well, first, actually you cannot get PMP certified unless you have a certain amount of "hands-on" experience. Second, required training is a bit longer than a weekend, unless you stay awake all of it. Third, you possibly would never get it. PMP has some ethical standards very far from you, according to the messages you are able to blog.
Have a nice weekend.

Even i do agree with Andrew that a PMP ceritifed guy knows only about the PMBOK theories and the ethical standards. In reality only experience matters and the theory you learnt from PMBOK will not be useful in the real life situation.
The main point is experience should be your guide and PMs shouldn't be afraid to put a stake in the ground.
Please don't mistake my comment about PMP Prep courses being able to prepare someone for a certification test in a 3 day weekend with assuming only PMPs know theory and not actual execution. I studied 3+ months for my PMP in addition to the experience requirements. The issue is certification isn't enough to handle these issues.

Agile organizations have a rolling planning view vs. waterfall view to dates and milestones
Setting a baseline, to communicate expectations based on what is known, is expected in most organizations, punishing or not. Date and cost ranges to deliver a list of functionality. From that point it's the responsibility of the PM to manage, and communicate changes or new learnings and their impacts for management approval or decision. Agile at its root is constant, defined, communicated change management, but reasonable waterfall change management practices can help. If the PM gets assassinated for doing their job then time to beat feet!
I agree with Amajar and others, but what I like with the PMP is it promotes the developing channels and a career transition for many people. To me the PMBOK framework is a great value since I have made use of deliverable methodologies which were created based on it. As we all know we all start somewhere before gaining the required experience and then become effective in those roles. Since these days the true concept of apprenticeship is considered anymore due economic viability.
