Hi Raghu,

As you are already certified in SAP PS, it is not advisable to take a PLM certification, the contents are same i hope for PS and PLM -Project/programm management, so one certification is enough but you need more knowledge/handson Cprojects, CFolders, XRPM etc which you can gain through working on some good implementation project.

You can match the contents of your PS and PLM it is almost same.

Hi Rehman,

Thanks for your reply. I am already working as a PS consultant and doing some implementation and support projects. So far I didn't get a chance to work on CProjects. Is it really required to go a Delta couse for Cprojects, XPRM, Assets, Quality etc. Pls advise and if any study material is available, pls do share with me.

Thanks

Hi Raghu,

If you are already working on PS then you can directly take a PLM Certificaiton in PLM Project management, and other delta courses are not required,

Assets, Quality......... They are different streams of PLM, so its not required for you to under go.

But Knowledge of Cprojects & CFolders is required, for which you no need to take any course just go through the material below link, and once you get into some projects then you can go deeper into it.
