PMP® stands for Project Management Professional and is a credential offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI) USA. Being certified by an independent, reputable organization like PMI is a mark of quality and, in many cases, a competitive advantage.
Being a PMP® is becoming more a requisite than an additional qualification. Project Managers are often referred to the CEO of their respective projects. This is true, because as a Project Manager you will have different set of team members in which you have an option to choose only efficient people to work on a particular project. This is not that easy! As a Project Manager you will have many hurdles to confront with until you are done with your project in making your client happy and continue to be an asset to your organization.
Target Audience
