Project Management is a skill that companies look for in their top employees. The traditional way of planning, launching, controlling, controlling, and managing a project was used until recently. This method was time-consuming and inefficient due to manual efforts. It was also highly susceptible to human errors. The entire project management process had to be reworked many times to achieve the desired outcomes.
PMI’s Project Management Professional (r) certification has opened up new avenues for project managers to reduce costs and improve efficiency. The PMP certification is a gold standard that validates the project management skills of professionals leading, managing, and controlling projects of all sizes, regardless of industry. The PMP certification trainings aim to give an all-encompassing understanding of all stages of the project lifecycle. PMI offers the PMBOK(r), a guide to help project managers prepare for and pass the PMP(r), the most coveted credential to boost your career.
In a continuous effort to keep up with agile project management, dynamic business needs, PMI published the 6th edition of the PMBOK (r) Guide in September 2017. This announcement included a few changes that will be reflected in PMP certification exam which took effect in March 2018.
