Why become a Project Management Professional (PMP)?
The most compelling reason for most people to become a PMPĀ® is one of opportunity. As a career, project management is relevant to nearly every industry, and applicable to organizations of all sizes. Consequently, project management professionals tend to recover much easier from economic downturns that affect their organization. Also, in tough economic times organizations have less money with which to solve key problems. Skilled project management professionals, who have what it takes to deliver successful projects in a repeatable, sustainable and predictable fashion, are in higher demand than ever. For many organizations, PMPĀ® credentials are prerequisite for project management positions.
