Project Management Professional Project Management Professional (PMP) is a credential offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI). The credential is obtained by documenting work experience in project management, completing 35 hours of project management related training, and scoring at least 61 on a written, multiple choice examination. PMP exams administered on or before June 30, 2009 were based on the Third Edition of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge - or PMBOK. After June 30, PMP certification exams are based on the Fourth Edition, which was published in December 2008.
The Project Management Framework, according to the PMBOK Guide Fourth Edition, embodies a project life cycle and five major project management process groups (encompassing a total of 42 processes). Mapped to these five process groups (Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing) are nine areas of project management knowledge:
Project Integration Management,
Project Scope Management,
Project Time Management,
Project Cost Management,
Project Quality Management,
Project Human Resource Management,
Project Communications Management,
Project Risk Management and
Project Procurement Management.
The nine knowledge areas share common inputs, tools and techniques and outputs, and make facilitates PMP professionals in developing and practicing specialization in one or more of the areas. For example, a PMP may specialize in Quality Planning, Quality Assurance, and Quality Control - the three processes that make up the Quality Project Management process area.
Government, commercial and other organizations employ PMP certified project managers in an attempt to improve the success rate of software development projects by applying a rigorous, standardized and evolving set of project management principles as contained in PMI's PMBOK Guide.
The PMP Exam contains 200 questions. 25 of them are pre-release questions, which are not included in exam scoring. This score is calculated based on 175 questions. The PMI will evaluate proficiency level on each project management process from high proficiency to low proficiency.
