Project Management Professional


Project Management Professional
In 2005 I completed certification as a “Project Management Professional” (PMP).  I joined only 110,000 Project Management Professionals (PMPs) worldwide who provide services in 120 countries.

The PMP credential is something like an accountant getting his CPA, a lawyer passing the bar, a pilot earning his wings, or a submariner earning his dolphins (I have a set of those, too).

To be eligible for the PMP credential, you have to first meet specific education and experience requirements and agree to adhere to a code of professional conduct. This included exceeding 35 hours of formal classroom training, and documenting over 4,500 hours of project management experience over a period of 3 to 6 years.

The final step in becoming a PMP is passing a 200-question examination designed to objectively assess and measure your Project Management knowledge.  This confirms that you are very familiar with the most effective and latest methods of Project Management found in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK).
