Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification

About the Course

Today, organizations and people are centered around a portfolio of projects to deliver outcomes. At Project Management Institute (PMI) calls this new way of working “The Project Economy” – in which people have the skills and capabilities they need to turn ideas into reality.

• For individuals, this means having the right skills and mindset to move seamlessly from project to project to help their organizations deliver strategic outcomes.
• For organizations, this means delivering value to stakeholders through successful completion of projects, delivery of products, and alignment to value streams. These initiatives deliver financial and societal value.
