The PMI RMP Exam

The PMI-RMP was worth taking. It took some effort passing it. I believe it was tougher than the PMP but more specific. The PMI research document is thoroughly researched on the type and impact the RMP will have on industry. Of the over 300,000 PMP's currently active I believe over half will be RMP certified in the next 3 years.

Question I have is how much effort PMI is going to put in promoting the new RMP certification promotion. I can perceieve the demand to be high as more and more project managers are asking for a more than fundamental understanding of risks.

Unfortunately, before taking the RMP exam I did not find much help or guidance preparing for it from any reliable source. The PMI website simply provides you a booklet which specifies the four topics for the RMP exam - Risk Communications, Risk Analysis, Risk Response Planning and Risk Governance. I suggest you find a resource that lays out this topics in detail. The RMP exam is definitely more comprehensive in the risk areas than the PMP certification.
