Core Certifications for Advanced Knowledge:
PfMP® and PgMP®
By Jacqueline Dennis
Abstract
Portfolio Management and Program Management are parts of an organization’s system that is comprised of interrelated components designed to achieve value delivery. An organization’s value delivery system is comprised of project portfolios, programs and projects that ensure alignment with organizational strategy.
For a value delivery system to properly function, it must be placed under a project portfolio structure. It is at its best an organization’s practitioners hold a Portfolio Management Profession (PfMP)® and a Program Management Professional (PgMP)®, two of the Project Management Institute’s (PMI’s)® Core Certifications for advanced knowledge. This is because the holders of these certifications consistently demonstrate both the theoretical and the practical knowledge to bring about business sustainability.
