Hi,

I am certified by PMI; PMP. Now, looking more towards the SAP projects I have a little confusion. I hope you guys will help me understand it better.

1==> I never worked in SAP, not even trained, am I eligible to write c_pm_70 sap exam ?

2==> Perhaps my question is due to lack of knowledge, but can anybody guide me what should I be more focused on learning;

Run SAP or ASAP?

3==> Is there any specific exam for ASAP or c_pm_70 covers everything related to Project Management in SAP?

4==> Where should I be looking if I want a real training and not only Q&A to pass the exam?

5==> I have almost 5 years of industry experience of PM in a smaller company and have good understanding of PLC, should I wait a

little more and learn before dive into SAP?

6==> Would I have any added value to my resume if I go for ASAP while I am already a PMP?

7==> In level of difficulty how do you compare PMP vs. ASAP

I know I asked a lot of questions in one shot, please reply in your convenience. Thanks.

By the way I live in a suburb of Toronto, Canada.

Hi Khalid,

lots of good questions. Let me try to address them:

1. Yes. You can prepare for C_PM_70 exam. Follow the recommended classes in the C_PM_70 curriculum and you should obtain sufficient knowledge to take the test.

2. Refer to this curriculum: [https://training.sap.com/us/en/curriculum/asap-sap-project-management-g/|https://training.sap.com/us/en/curriculum/asap-sap-project-management-g/]

3. C_PM_70 is mainly focusing on ASAP, but also on the use of SAP Solution Manager especially in implementation projects

4. See #2

5. I do not see reason why would you need to wait. Though you may want to look at some training like Overview of SAP to gain little bit of domain context for SAP projects

6. It will help, but you will be at a disadvantage compared to PMs that already managed SAP projects. Similar to having PMP on your resume vs. having actual experience running a project.

7. C_PM_70 is associate level certification which in my opinion is very close in difficulty to PMP exam, though the exam itself is little shorter than PMP ("only" 180 minutes). The good news is that for the Project Management specific questions you will be able to leverage your PMP knowledge since ASAP is 100% aligned with PMBOK.

Thanks Jan,

Very helpful indeed. I found that there would be 80 questions to answer in 180 minutes, this is more than fair.

(1) What is the passing criterion?

(2) Do I need to take training for each individual modules like E2E040, SMI 210, SMI 310 etc. etc, or can I buy the material and do the self-study?

Folks, I understand that it Thursday and everybody gets busy to wrap-up the week-ending tasks, please take your sweet time to answer my questions.

Thanks and have great day.

Hello Khalid,

(1) I could not tell you as I do not know.

(2) The exam description lists the skills and competencies this exam focuses on. The curriculum is built to help people of various experiences prepare for the exam. Not knowing what your starting point is it is hard to recommend a path. For someone who has been around Project Management, ASAP and Solution Manager for a while the ASA380 could be sufficient. For PM that is new to SAP projects it may be more classes starting with SAP overview, SMI210, SMI310, E2E040, etc.
