“What is this ‘4500 hours of Work Experience Details in PMP® Application Form ?” During my introductory sessions on PMP® Certification, most of the professionals generally ask me this question and today, I’m addressing this issue.
Project Management Institute (PMI)® offers the world’s most sought after professional certification, Project Management Professional (PMP)®. To meet its eligibility criteria professionals are required to furnish a few important work experience details in PMP® Application Form.
To be precise, if you are applying for PMP® Certification Exam, then it is must for you to have 4500 hours of leading and directing project work experience. This means you must have 4 years of degree which makes 16 years of education. The work experience requirement increases to 7500 hours, i.e. 5 years of leading and directing project work, if you do not have a bachelor’s degree.
Sometimes, PMP® aspirants, find the terms ‘leading and directing project’ confusing. To explain what ‘leading and directing project work experience means PMI® has introduced an important document called, ‘PMI® Examination Content Outline.’
In this content outline document, these two terms, ‘leading and directing’ are identified and explained under 5 domains. These domains are actually the 5 important roles a PMP® professional is required to perform.
- Initiating– This is all about doing a work require to start the project or initiate it. It can be stakeholder identification, prepare a business case, selection of the project, and it may also involve doing high level scoping.
- Planning– This is a critical activity of a project manager which begins with a high level scope, preparing the detailed scope statement, representing work breakdown structure, once the scope is documented you are also required to identify task/activities to be performed. Other activities like, allocating resources, schedule analysis, critical path analysis, planning to recruit more human resources to get some part of the job done, which is Procurement Planning, communication planning et al falls under this domain.
- Executing– Now, it’s time to get the work done, since you have sequenced the activities, allocated them to concerned people. You ensure exact execution of the plan in adherence to quality and scope planning. You also perform conflict resolution, and individual performance assessment under this domain.
- Controlling & Monitoring– This is all about ensuring that we are working as per our planning. Change management is the most important activity of this domain. Controlling scope, maintaining risk register and keeping an eye on vendor that he is adhering to his contract falls under this domain.
- Closing– This the act of final acceptance, documentation of all the learning during the project, archiving documents, updating organization process assets, taking final acceptance from the customers. Whatever legal formalities are required to close the project falls under this domain.
Now, comes how to fill Work Experience Details In PMP® Application Form? It is a very simple 5 step process:
- Project Information– Title of the project, start and end date, and the role you played in that project. The role may not match with your designation. There is one another field called industry in which you worked.
- Organization Details– Physical address, contact details, location.
- Organization Contact– Email and contact details, and the relationship between you and the primary contact person in that organization. In case you get selected for the audit you have to take signature of this particular person so make sure you identify an individual who is approachable.
- Hours Per Domain Area– A PMP® applicant is required to document the specific hours spent in each of these 5 PMI Process Groups individually. Once you are done documenting and calculating your Project hours, you will deduce the total project work hours. It is important to note that you should have 4500 hours in total but it is not necessary that you should have experience in all the domains under a given project, but yes you should have experience in all domain in totality. Try not to have a parallel project, since only one project would be considered in any case.
- Project Experience Summary– Try to pick activities from all those five processed where you have spent work hours and summarizes them under this head. You may write in bullet point statements or even in a paragraph statement.
Just be clear, you don’t need to be scientifically accurate about the numbers, try to pick activities that match with your domains and lastly, just ensure you have right primary contact, who is approachable in case your application gets selected for PMI® Audit Process.
I hope this blog has sufficiently answered your all queries related to how to fill in Work Experience Details in PMP® Application Form. Good Luck with your PMP® Certification Exam.

Hi Jana,
Thanks for liking our post.
Thank you for this post and video! It has been extremely helpful in completing the PMP application
Hi Jyoti/saket….still waiting for your review as i have send it to your email. Thanks
Hi Adenusi,
Your application is reviewed. I recommend you to refer to our course as your application is revealing certain gaps in your preparation.
Regards,
Jyoti
Hi Jyoti i really appreciate all your responses. please can i send you my PMP application for review? if so pls send the email i can sent it to. many thanks in advance
Dear Deepa,
Please find my response inline
1) Though I was working on the same project, we had delivered 10 – 15 major and minor releases in this time span. Do I need to mention it as a single project or as multiple projects.
It is recommended to show it in one project. But then you can show it phase-wise in 2 or 3 phases as well.
2) I generally upload all the necessary work related documentation and get the CRs/defects signed off for each release from the client. Can this activity be considered for closing the project process group.
Changes pertaining to projects comes under “Change management” in “Project Integration ” knowledge area before project closure. After the project is delivered to end customer CRs comes under “Change Request”.
3)
You need to show some experience in all the 5 process groups. If you were not involved in “Initiation” phase in one particular project, you can show the experience in your other projects.CRs and release document do not qualify for “Initiation” process group.
You can explore our online PMP Course. Complete course details are shared with you
Thanks & Regards,
Jyoti
Hi Saket,
I am managing a maintenance and support for the last 4 years. 1) Though I was working on the same project, we had delivered 10 – 15 major and minor releases in this time span. Do I need to mention it as a single project or as multiple projects.
2) I generally upload all the necessary work related documentation and get the CRs/defects signed off for each release from the client. Can this activity be considered for closing the project process group.
3) I joined this project from the second release onwards. I was never involved in preparing a project charter. How can I add the experience for the initialization phase. What generally I do for a release is I decide the scope of the project – which all CRs or defects need to go in that particular release, work on the project plan with my client and shared the risks and assumptions for the particular release to the client and inform the respective stake holders that we are starting the work for the particular release. All these documentation is done in emails and not as any other document. Are these enough to be included for the experience in the initialization phase.
Hi Ambarish,
Review of Project Description : Need to re-phrase your role “Role: To assist in overall project and execute assigned tasks.” as project manager is expected to lead and mentor the project .
Use PMBOK terms when you talk about your project work, like Created WBS, archived and documented Lessons Learned.
Replace “Handover meetings.” by Handover the project to end-customer”
Thanks & Regards,
Jyoti
Hi Saket/Jyoti,
This is a very helpful source of information and clarifies most of the doubts. Below are the project descriptions that I am planning to send to PMI for PMP application. I t would be highly appreciated if you could spare some time to quickly glance through them and advice if these are good to go or have any suggestion to make.
1) Client & Markets Project
Build a centralized reporting structure for the clients
Role: To assist in overall project and execute assigned tasks.
IN: Gathered & analyzed information to define high level scope for project charter, Stakeholders
identification.
PL: Brainstorm on requirements, communication of planned process & final product to clients, defined
quality matrices.
EX: Build database connections, reporting structures, training new tools, feedback meetings.
MC: Performance reporting, document changes, variance analysis.
CL: Create process assets, Handover meetings.
2)
Implementation of new financial information product
Role: Fundamentals content consultant
IN: Feasibility study, stakeholder(internal & external) analysis.
PL: Define content scope, activity list & resource requirement management.
EX: Content creation, features testing, communicate approved changes, training sessions.

CL: Prepared product SOP, Content presentation & functional training to users, feedback meetings.
Thanks a lot in advance for your valuable feedback.
-Ambarish
Comment on this experience:
Transitioning , Enhancing & Supporting Applications as Transition & Application Manager
Project Initiating & key Stakeholders analysis
Project Planning and detailing scope of work & WBS
Developing detailed Estimates , Schedule & Activities , Establishing Baselines
Managing Risk
Overall Project execution , Managing and Assessing Team, Conflicts & Issue management and
Reporting to Stakeholders.
QA and QC activities e.g ISO, implement Continual Service Improvements ,Change Request through
CCB , Performing RCA & UAT
Archiving Artifacts & Lesson Learned
——–
To me this looks Project Planning but more focused to QA job, make me feel person was only responsible for QA part of the project, please follow the advice given above.
Application reviewed and feedback shared.
Review of Project Description :
Candidate : As the project manager, I have defined the high level scope and created Project charter as part of IN. I have collected the requirements from M&S department and planned procurement management in PL. In EX, I have organised a bidding conferance and made aggreements with the selected seller. As part of MC, I have made audits to control procurements. In CL, After proc negotiations, I have closed procurements.
Saket : The allocation of tasks does cover all process group but why you wish to limit your exposure to Scope and Procurement knowledge area? Was you not involve in Creating Project Management Plan, Managing Risks , Managing Stakeholders , Managing Communication ? its better to spread your experience in multiple knowledge areas
Hi Jyoti,
I have share the application and waiting for feedback.
Application shared.
Dear Mitt,
If you have gone through the above video, fill your applicationand share it at support@izenbridge.com.
Regards,
Jyoti
Dear,
Can share you experience, my first audit also reject. should i submit new application.
Hi Sir,
As per your comments i have rephrased all the descriptions. Please review my application which is sent to support@izenbridge.com.
Thanks in advance
Will surely update with all your inputs. Thanks a lot.
Review of one Project Description
The Item Tracking Dashboard project fulfills a need of the Supply Chain and Marketing teams at XXXXX to increase visibility into product specific data, such as forecasts, inventory, and sales. This visibility allows for faster recognition of trends and planning refinements. I led and executed the project by meeting with end users to determine project requirements, creating a project plan, delivering a functional dashboard that met the user requirements, and training the end users on how to use the dashboard.
Hour breakdown: IN- 200 PL- 320 EX- 400 MC- 360 CL- 160
Saket:
Few pointers
1. Since we can write very limited information related to project in Application , i suggest not to write many details of your project rather write more about what you did in project .
2. Use PMBOK terms when you talk about your project work
3. In above description i only see two knowledge areas , Project Integration management and Project Scope Management . Gives me an impression that you worked as Business Analyst not as Project Manager. Cover more , like Risk , Quality , Communication, Stakeholder Knowledge areas.
As i could see from your first description that you work more like Business analyst and if the PMI also get this feeling it is not good. The description should focus on your role as Project Leader (may not be designated project manager) . I may suggest you to go though PMBOK or your learning material well before you finalize the description since you need to use all PMBOK knowledge to demonstrate how well you lead the project. like “agreed on scope, tasks, schedule” should be i prepare project management plan consisting scope , schedule and cost baseline Your description should clearly say.
1. You prepare Project Management Plan which has at least Schedule , Cost and Scope in it.
2. You lead the execution by way of working with team , resolving conflict etc.
3. You evaluate and communicate status of project frequently.
Hi Sir,
Thanks for your input. I have made changes and pasted below:
‘Scope was to provide ‘line isometrics with BOM’ as per the piping layout from client. Once input was received, I organized a meeting with stakeholders and agreed on scope, tasks, schedule. Accordingly then directed my team and monitored them periodically to ensure standard compliance on drawings (almost 500 no.s). To avoid possible risks (deviation) in future, requested client for official stamping on drawings prior to sending them to production. Once accepted, drawings were archived in our ERP system, and asked our production team to follow them.’
Is this description fine?
Regarding your point on project closing:
Production and then delivery to site were usually coordinated by our PM. This is why i had generalized it in my previous description.
As a design engineer, I used to direct/handle all actions from ‘collecting requirements’ till sending drawings to our production. Can i consider ‘sending drawings to production’ as closing from my perspective.?
Is this project description good to go?
Scope was to provide piping drawings as per client requirement. For this, prepared scope baseline,
collected inputs, planned and scheduled. As initiation, analyzed stakeholders and organized meeting to
start proceedings. For Execution: Scheduled periodic meeting with team, guided and lead them to meet
baselines. Controlled and monitored scope, schedule and ensured drawing standards were met. Approved
drawings, were used for production and then delivered to client. Project was then closed with all data
archived and recorded lessons learned
Saket : The description looks work involved managing small tasks and more focused on doing Business Analysis work. you need to demonstrate what you did in Project planning, like Developing Project Management Plan, and based on that project plan show that you are working in managing the project by way of doing risk management etc
Second, you should always tell what you did , like rather than saying project was closed you need to tell what you did in closing.
Hi Jyoti
I have prepared my PMP application. Can you please check it?
I should send it to which email address?
On more question, after how many days does PMI approve the application?

Dear Hawk,
Similar projects in nature is not an issue, you can mention the same in your application.

Jyoti
Hi Saket,
I have worked as a Project Manager in Projects involving restructuring of CITI Financial centers across North America. However, all the Non-overlapping Projects I have worked on are similar in nature involving closing or opening of CITI financial centers.
Please let me know if this could be an issue.
Regards..
Dear Jyothi,
Can i send you my project description to review. Unfortunately i was chosen for audit earlier and got rejected 🙁 the reason was that in the project description, i thought that i need to mention the project details only not my role and for that reason i got picked then got rejected and the reason they mentioned is that in my project description they couldnt see my role..I am planning to resubmit my application however i am worried to get rejected again.. Can you please review my application before submitting it?
Regards..

Hi – I received a PMI Master certification back in 2003. The PMP application is asking for start and finish dates for these courses. I have the end dates from the transcript but it does not show the start dates and the school is stating they do not have the start date information. What can I do?
Thanks for quick reply. I will send the application on an email.
Hi Mahesh,
You can share your application in pdf format at support@izenbridge.com, our PMP expert will review it
Thanks,

Hello iZenBridge,
I need guidance to complete my PMP application and need suggestion on documenting the 4500 work experience.
Appreciate if some one can respond.
Thanks,
Mahesh
Thanks a lot for the clarification, Jyoti.
ALCON,
My name is David Griffin, I have a couple of questions in regard to the email traffic below. I was a Project Manager Department of Defense Contingency Contractor providing Base Life Support for the US Military in Afghanistan on multiple Forward Operating Bases. I was the Project Manager for New Construction (result) and Operation and Maintenance (service) related projects. Regarding Operation and Maintenance (service) we provided HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, Carpentry, Power Generation, Laundry Operations, Roads and Grounds, Dining Facility Operation, Black Water Operations, Water Purifications, Wells, Facilities Maintenance, MWR Operation and much more. A mandatory 84 hour work week 12 hours shifts on a 24 hour basis 7 days a week. My question is when it comes to the constant service related project management versus the multiple individual new constructrction projects (involving the same Subject Matter Experts & Trades) that were simultaneously transpiring at the same time how should I best articulate and simplify when I lead concurrent service related projects for longer periods with multiple Performance Work Statements and a massive amount of New Construction (result) projects that simultaneously existed? I hope I was able to express my concerns clearly and appreciate your time and feedback. Thank you in advance.
Would it be best to list the service projects considering the duration was much longer? Elements of the Closing process would not be as strong if I bypassed the New Construction projects, but I am thinking it would simplify the application process.
Best regards,
David Griffin
Dear Mangesh,
You can show experience more than 4500 hours, if your project is exceeding the total number of hours. There is no hard and fast rule that it should be exactly 4500 hours, but it should not be less than 4500 hours but can be more than that.
Regards,
Jyoti
Do we have to have exactly 4500 hours of experience to be shown or it can be a bit higher than 4500? I am having experience details which go beyond 4500 upto about 4900 hours if i have to consider my latest project till end, If i remove that project then i will have to go another year back in my list of projects. Hence would it be ok i can put total effort as 4900 hours
So how about breath verses depth of experience in each area. Due they require breath or as long as you touched on each area often in detail or does it require touching all major aspects of each process group at lest once in at lest one project.
Dear Brian,
Yes “Financial modeling projects creating new models in which you applied basic PM principles” are considered valid work experience for PMP exam.
While filling the PMP Application form, you need to show experience in all the 5 process groups, which can be from one or more projects. It is not necessary that all the project which you mention must contain experience hours in each of the 5 process groups. You can show zero hours in 1 or more process group in a project, but your total experience should not be zero for any of the 5 process groups.
Enrol to our online PMP course, you will get complete support in filling the PMP application form.
Regards,
Jyoti
So two questions because I still think the requirements are not very well written. Are (100 – 800 man hour projects) Financial modeling projects creating new models (not modifying existing ones) in which you applied basic PM principles considered valid work experience for some of the 5 areas when you did a majority of the work associated with the project?
Secondly is working in Program Controls for project management and coordinating all aspects of your specialty in all 5 phases considered valid experience or due they require some breath of various task/responsibilities in each phase. That if you only did one or two of the PM related responsibilities related to your specialty in each phase and not the typical breath in each phase, does it count (in my case primary lead in all aspects of cost engineering)?
Dear Abdullah,
Yes it means you cannot have 2 projects with overlapping dates. You must have some experience in all the 5 process groups from one or more projects.
Thanks,
Jyoti
Hello,
what does it mean “Try not to have a parallel project” is it that i can’t put 2 projects with overlapping dates??? plus is it possible to not fill all the experiences domain areas for each and every project i listed in my application ??
thank you in advance.
Hi Sam,
Please share the complete details at support@izenbridge.com
Thanks,
Jyoti
Thank you Jyoti for your helpful replay
This description is just for one project. I have 5 more projects, i will make sure to mention these things where appropriate.
As a description of one project do you think it is sufficient? should i modify other project descriptions using the same structure?
This is what PMI asked me to do in there email :
“project descriptions should consist of the following:
* A brief, one-sentence project objective
* Project deliverables summarized by process areas (Initiating,
Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing –
abbreviations are acceptable IN, PL, EX, MC & CL)
* A brief, one-sentence project outcome.
Project descriptions should be a high level summary of the tasks you led
and directed on the project (e.g. Initiating: develop project charter,
WBS etc.; Planning: Scope definition etc.; and so on). Project
management experience is required in each of the process areas when all
projects are totaled, but not on each project. Project descriptions must
be provided for all projects submitted on application. Please revise
the project descriptions.”
Regards
Hi Sam,
Change management, stakeholder management and engagement is missing in your description, as project manager you must mention about CCBs , these are very important responsibility of Project Manager
Thank you Jyoti
I am willing to set for my exam next week, I took two PMP coerces already , and i studied both PMBOK & Rita. i get about 85% in simulation exams.
The problem with the description is the allowed number of characters, that’s why i used PMBOK terms, because it is standard terms, therefore a single term summarize a lot of work in just one or two words. but I’m not sure if this is what they want? or if there is something missing. that’s the reason of my question here.
Hi Sam,
The description of your application looks like copying the terms from PMBOK and pasting it in the description. It is not reflecting your complete role and responsibilities in the project. I recommend you to go through our complete online program before filling the PMP application, the current description also shows you need to spend more time in preparing for PMP exam.
Thanks,
Jyoti
Hi
PMI pended my application they asked me to fix the project descriptions with a warning that they will reject my application if i submit it again without the necessary information!
“If the information received is not sufficient, your application may be formally rejected”
is this a sufficient project description?
The project was ORACLE E-Business Suite implementation.
Objectives: implement Core HR, Payroll , Self Service, GL, Account payable , account receivable and supply chain modules.
I was the project manager assistant, I led
IN: Initiation of some phases (crating project charter and identifying stakeholders).
PL : Collect requirements, creating project plans, scope baseline, schedule and identify risks.
EX: Manage team, communications and reports.
MC: Control scope, schedule, and risks.
CL: Collect records, lessons learned, archive information.
regards
Thanks for your reply Jyoti
Dear Vasu,
You need to restrict the project description and role in 550 characters only. People with 5 year long project duration also manage it in this limit. Just write one liner goal/objective of the project followed by your roles and responsibilities.Don’t write complete sentences try using short sentences like gathered requirement, managed team, identified and analysed risks and so on.
Regards,
Jyoti
Hi Saket,
On PMP application, there is space provided to summarise the projects we worked on but it should not cross 550 characters, this summary includes project objectives, role and key deliverables by process groups and also this summary should have examples of how the project is led and directed,
my projects are of duration more than 2 yrs(each project duration) so how to put all this info in less than 550 characters
Dear Jyoti,
Thanks for sharing valuable information. I have failed PMP audit, could it be possible if I share application with you for evaluation.
Regards
Dear Arpan,
The total 3 years experience should not be necessarily consecutive. You can have it in gaps, but it must be within 8 years of the current date.
Thanks,
Jyoti
Hi Jyoti,
I solicit your advise regarding the PMP experience criterion.
should experience be consecutive 3 years in last 8 years. Could It be 2011-2014 ( completing the 3 years ) or it should be back 3 years from date of application. eg. if i am submitting the profile today then should it be 2013 to 2016 ( Consecutive 3 years.
Kindly share the valuable information.
Thanks Jyoti
Hi Gaurish,
In case of PMP, you need to show 4500 hours project management experience gained in last 8 years.
Regards.
Jyoti
Hello
Does work experience required to be latest or any work experience over period of my 20 yrs of work can be submitted.
Thanks
Hello Iqbal,
Did you get any lead as how to write work experience?
Dear Amresh,
Please share you application with us at support@izenbridge.com also it would be great if join our discussion forum at forum.izenbridge.com to get assistance and response from our experts.
Hi, I have 13+ years of experience in operations and global transitions. There are considerable aspects/tasks which are common to most of the projects I lead or was a part of so my concern is repetitiveness of such aspects across all projects. How should I go about documenting them? Example: Identify scope of process/tasks to be transitioned, recruitment of resources (working with HR), develop project charter, knowledge transfer charter, stakeholder matrix, defining SLA (service level agreements) for each transition so on and so forth….
Of course, the nature of work/process is different with each project however, certain elements are common and a standard protocol to be followed across each project…so can you help sharing your thoughts on how should I go about documenting my project work keeping above problem in mind?
Thank you!
Hi Dimple,
Yes, that’s fine.
Regards,
Jyoti
Thanks, Jyoti. I realized that I have hours but the number of projects end up being more than 6 (I may need 8 or 9 projects to get all the hours in) and that’s okay, right?
Dear Dimple,
There is no limit in terms of total number of projetcs. You need to show 4500 hours of experience which qualifies in 3 years.
Include projects to show total 3 years duration.
Thanks & Regards,
Jyoti
Hello, Thanks for all the info; it’s really helpful. What is the maximum number of projects to include in pmp application?
Hi, Since you are doing PMP , you need to have 3 years of project leading exposure where you are going through complete project life cycle. You may not have some projects not having all 5 process group tasks but in total you need to have experience in all 5 process groups.
Dear sir ,
I have Bachlor of engineerign and MBA degreee. I have ten year maintenance experience , how i convert my maintenance experiencei into five process groups. In maintenance all five process are rarely involved. ?
Yes, you could do this, but it it is not likely that PMI will find that you have demonstrated you have met the requirements because a “co-worker” is not a very credible source. Your other option is to find a more credible contact within the organization.
The PMPs at FPMcertify.com are very experienced with this, but you have to pay for their PMP consulting advice.
Dear Vyom,
It is not necessary to mention the contact info of your reporting manager. You can put the contact of any stakeholder who is directly involved in the project including end customer.
If your manager is available to sign the documents physically, you can mention his name as well.
Thanks,
Jyoti
Just a bit of advice required for my PMP application — for the project experience which I am mentioning in my application if my project manager has left the organization then whose contact shall I put in there?
Yes PMI needs you to have 3 years of project experience in last 8 years only. So you may need to wait for an year before you give the PMP exam.
I have 10 + years of actual PM experience however within the last 8 years I have taken 6 years off while raising my children, i have just recently returned to the work place.
Can i enter in all of my experience to date or do the institute require that i have the required experience in the last 8 years only?
Hi Paul,
We could not found your application in our inbox, please send it again.

Hi Sanket,
i really appreciate the good work you have done with the PMP training videos and found them to be very informative and easy to understand.
After applying for PMP I was put for audit and I failed.The reason they quoted is “Upon further review of your application it has come to our attention that the experience entries listed on your application do not meet the requirements of the PMP credential.”
What should i do?
Yes you can take the PMP exam even if you are not working currently, as per PMI you have to show 4500 hours experience(or 7500 hours in case of diploma) in last 8 years.
Hi Sanket ,
My question is whether is it possible for me to give PMP exam as i am am not working at present ,i am done with my 35 hours PDU and i am an experienced professional but from past one year i have not been doing a job.
Hi,
I have replied for the solution of your problem. Please check your inbox
Hi Mr.Sanket
I have been selected for PMI audit for PMP exam. In the application i have given my previous project manager details but i am not able to contact them now. Can i give ask my co-worker who was working with me in the said previous project?
If yes, is it okay if the name of the contact person in application and project management experience verification form varies.
If no, what other option i have?
Thanks please check your email.
Hi,
Very Sorry to hear about audit result.
Don’t worry, we will help you. I have sent you mail. Please check.
Hello Mr.Saket I have been watching Your PMP training videos for preparation and found it to be very informative and easy to understand.Thank You.
But after applying for PMP I was put for audit and I failed.The reason they quoted is “Upon further review of your application it has come to our attention that the experience entries listed on your application do not meet the requirements of the PMP credential.”
I work as a Consultant Engineer(electrical) in construction and have more than 4500hours work experience on single project.Could you please provide me sample for work experience for my field.
Thanks again in advance.
You may do it or not… from PMI point of view no specific clause.
Hi, Can i specify the client name & project name i work. Is that not a problem. i have did it and submitted the application. but now i got a thought not to specify it. Is it a problem specifying the client & Project Details ?
