What is PMP®?

Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification is a benchmark for project management. The PMP certification validates the experience, knowledge, expertise, capability, competency and required skills to lead and manage projects. PMP certification is the most recognized and sought after project management certification. A  PMP certification is compelling in its benefits and considered to be lucrative as it increases the earning potential. PMI’s PMBOK (Product Management Body of Knowledge) Guide is one of the reference books for PMP certification.
