The Program Management Professional (PgMP®) is the credential that gives you distinction and recognition in a growing community of professionals that manage programs.
The credential is offered to candidates whose daily tasks go beyond project management and into the realm that has a direct impact on the accomplishment of organizational objectives.
The PgMP® also increases your visibility within your organization and on the international level as someone with the knowledge, skills and experience to make important decisions and to carry out strategic objectives that enhance business results.
Under minimal supervision, program managers are responsible and accountable for the coordinated management of multiple related projects directed toward strategic business and organizational objectives.
They maintain continuous alignment of program scope with strategic business objectives. They possess advanced skills in finance, cross-cultural awareness, leadership, communication, influence, negotiation and conflict resolution.
The PgMP® credential recognizes demonstrated experience, skill and performance in oversight of multiple, related projects that are aligned with an organizational strategy.
