Description

Advance Your Organization’s Strategic Goals

The Program Management Professional (PgMP)® certification is a visible sign of your advanced project management experience and gives you a distinct advantage.

What is PgMP Certification?

As a program manager, you demonstrate leadership through managing multiple, related projects in a coordinated way—achieving benefits that could not occur if the projects were handled separately. PgMP® certification verifies this advanced level of expertise and shows that you have the real-world experience to navigate complexity and align to strategic objectives.

In fact, the 2022 PMI Pulse of the Profession® report shows that with program management, 71% of an organization’s projects overall successfully meet business goals. Demonstrate that you are ready to lead your organization to success with PgMP certification.

The PgMP Exam is currently offered exclusively in the English language.
