What is a PMP(R) credential? - updated 11-14-2020

The PMP credential stands for Project Management Professional(R).

The PMP credential is offered by the Project Management Institute.

It is a credential that validates your project management experience, knowledge and skills.

Project Managers need analytical thinking, sound logic and reasoning skills, to be good at what they do. Preparing for the PMP Exam helps improve these skills as well as acquiring many industry best practices that are concurrent with business best practices. The PMP is now a global standard for project management. Employers in the know, seek out "preferred" PMP certified employers for management positions or prefer to hire them over others.

A lot of the PMP(R) Examination is knowledge-based analytics. Business Managers also do a lot of projects. They often don’t call them projects. A project is simply a temporary endeavor (has a start and finish date) that has a unique outcome – either a unique service, product, result or process improvement.

Without the PMP credential, it is difficult to justify your project management qualifications in today's working environment. A degree in project management is not as important nor as prestigious as the PMP credential. The PMP Exam is a challenging Exam that validates that you have what it takes to be a project or program manager (someone managing multiple projects).

Failure to be able to pass the exam is a red flag on your project management best practices knowledge and therefore a blotch on your project management capabilities or your analytical capabilities.

The majority of jobs today – including technical jobs – requiring the PMP credential to qualify for the position.

Some people come to our training who were fired because they did not receive a PMP credential even though the company paid for their training.

Therefore, if someone needs to transfer to another job, they may not be able to get one without the PMP certification.

The PMP credential validates your experience as a project manager, validates your capabilities, and validates your value to the company.

Project Managers who have the PMP credential usually get paid a lot more. This is a plus.
