PMP® - Project Management
Professional
PMP certification, established by the Project Management
Institute (PMI), is one of the most valued and respected
credentials in project management. Earning and maintaining this PMI
certification demonstrates a solid foundation of experience in
effectively managing projects.
Candidates for PMI's PMP certification:
- Perform their duties under general supervision and are
responsible for all aspects of the project for the life of the
project
- Lead and direct cross-functional teams to deliver projects
within the constraints of schedule, budget, and resources
- Demonstrate sufficient knowledge and experience to
appropriately apply a methodology to projects that have reasonably
well-defined project requirements and deliverables.
To be eligible for the PMP credential, you must meet specific
education and experience requirements, and you must agree to adhere
to a code of professional conduct. To earn the PMP credential, you
must pass a multiple-choice exam, designed to objectively assess
and measure your project management knowledge.
The PMP certification exam addresses the management of
communications, cost, human resources, integration, procurement,
quality, risk, scope and time, as well as a project manager's
social and professional responsibilities. Project management
proficiency is measured in the areas of initiation, planning,
executing, monitoring and controlling, closing, and professional
and social responsibility on the PMP certification exam.
PMP Recertification
PMP certification lasts three years. To maintain your PMP
credential, PMI requires 60 PDUs during each three-year renewal
period.
