The Project Management Professional training-fondly called the PMP training- is training and certification service that is offered by the Project Management Institute to any individual in any field who intends to work in the initiation, planning and management of projects for government and organizations.<\/p>\n
The main objective of the PMP training and certification is to create a common lingo amidst individual who work at managing projects irrespective of their field of specialization. In order words, the PMP training is intended to give every project manager in the world common tools, techniques and knowledge that will affect the way they approach projects. These tools and knowledge are delivered to the project manager through the\u00a0Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) framework.<\/p>\n
Debates have continued in project management circles on whether a PMP training and certification is worth the buzz. Some argue that the PMP certification models the education system where a person reads, learns and writes an exam. The argument is that the certification doesn\u2019t make an individual a better project manager but with enough creative, determination and discipline, anyone can be good at project management.<\/p>\n
Personally, I agree with the opposite. Getting a PMP if not for anything is good on your resume. The PMP after your name indicates that you have project management skills and that will earn you more money. And it gives you credibility for your commitment to the process; aside the networking opportunities in the PMI community.<\/p>\n
Why would somebody think that getting a PMP certification isn\u2019t worth it anyway? With hundreds of uncompleted projects littering every state in Nigeria, there is a need for competently trained individuals to manage projects in Nigeria, so a PMP certified project manager will always be preferred to a uncertified PM.<\/p>\n
So if you decide to get a PMP, here is how to go about it as easy as A, B, C.<\/p>\n
