		<description><![CDATA[&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-11500&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@Raman&lt;/a&gt;,  Good question, and ultimately, you&#039;ll want to discuss with PMI, I think. Here is what I understood while I was preparing to take the exam: 
   * You need to show experience across all the primary functions of PM, including execution, not just the planning functions. 
   * You can count experience across multiple projects, and across several years, not just your current project. Double-check the PMP Handbook to know how many years back you can document. 

Hope that helps!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Khaleel - 

If you have any question at all about your renewal deadline and options, I strongly suggest calling PMI today, right now. Do whatever you can not to let your certification lapse so that you don&#039;t need to retest. 

Go to PMI.org, find the contact phone number for your part of the world, and call them.]]></description>
