As the world’s leading authority on project management, PMI created PMP Certification to recognize project managers who have proven they have the skills to successfully manage projects. Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification represents an elite group of project managers. It proves project leadership experience and expertise in any way of working.

To obtain PMP certification, a project manager must meet certain requirements and then pass a 180-question exam. The PMP exam was created by project leaders for project leaders, so each test question can be related to real-life project management experiences.

PMP certification validates that you are highly skilled in:

• People: Recognizing you have the skills to effectively lead and motivate a project team throughout a project.
• Process: Using predictive, agile and hybrid approaches to determine which way of working is best for each project.
• Business Environment: Highlighting the success of a project and its impact on overall strategic organizational goals.
