The Top 10 Reasons to be PMP® Certified
Provided by CertiFi™ and The Project Management Institute (PMI®)
The following are the top ten reasons why professionals, practitioners, and the highly skilled project managers seek PMI®-certification:
1. Project Management is the means for achieving business results. Whether you are a senior executive or a project manager, it is your job to help your organization grow and increase its value to its stakeholders. Project management is the unique organizational competency that manages change and drives competitive advantage - with the outcome of delivering results in line with corporate strategy (PMBOK® Guide, 3rd Edition).
2. Project Management Professionals (PMP®) usually command a higher salary than their non-certified counterparts do. Many credential holders experience salary increases because of their certification status.
3. It is an International Standard. PMI® certification demonstrates ones understanding of the key processes that must be in place, regardless of the country, time zone, or region of the world in which the work will be managed.
4. The language of success is very specific. Understanding the language is half the battle. PMI® Certification teaches you the lexicon required to effectively communicate and manage expectations up and down (internal and external) managerial chains of command.
5. Unbiased Endorsement. PMI® credentials recognize your knowledge, skills and abilities. PMI® serves as an unbiased endorsement of your project management knowledge and professional experience on a global level.
6. PMI® credentials reflect achievement. They illustrate that one has demonstrated excellence in the field by meeting standard requirements established by global management practitioners.
7. Tap into a network of professionals with unlimited knowledge, experience and resources. The PMP® certification will allow you to better connect with other PMP®s through professional organizations that have evolved within the Project Management Industry. By joining these types of professional groups, a PMP® is able to learn and share best practices among like-minded professionals.
8. Big businesses consistently increase their bottom-line by employing PMP® project managers. The PMP® certification is highly sought after by large multi-national corporations because it demonstrates a project manager’s ability to manage projects without the constraints of borders.
9. Demonstrates one understanding of the common elements of all projects – Process Groups and Knowledge Areas. The five Process Groups (Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, Closing) and the nine Knowledge Areas (Integration, Scope, Time, Cost, Quality, Human Resources, Communications, Risk Management, and Procurement) are evident in all projects; one must successfully manage each element.
10. Code of Conduct. In this age of low ethical standards, it is reassuring to corporations that PMI® Credentials are guided by a professional code of conduct. This code of conduct standardizes best practices for all PMP®s so that work practices are safe, efficient and practical when involving employees and civilians.
