Program Management Professional

Advance Your Organization’s Strategic Goals
The Project 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 and Chinese languages.

Why is the PgMP Exam Different?
After your application is approved and payment is received, a panel of volunteer PgMP-certified program managers will assess your professional experience based on your responses to the Program Management Experience Summaries on the PgMP application.
