Program Management Professional (PgMP)®

What is PgMP Certification?

As a program manager, you demonstrate leadership by managing multiple related projects in a coordinated way, achieving benefits that would not be possible if the projects were handled separately. The PgMP® (Program Management Professional) certification verifies this advanced level of expertise and shows that you have the real-world experience to navigate complexity and align projects to strategic objectives.

 

Importance of PgMP Certification

According to the 2022 PMI Pulse of the Profession® report, with program management, 71% of an organization’s projects successfully meet business goals. Earning a PgMP certification demonstrates that you are ready to lead your organization to success.

 

Exam Languages

The PgMP Exam is currently offered exclusively in English and Chinese.

 

How to Get Your PgMP Certification

Plan

The PgMP certification process includes two assessments: a written panel review and a multiple-choice exam.

Prepare

Utilize a wide range of study resources to prepare for the exam and increase your chances of success.

Take the Exam

Upon successfully completing the Panel Review Assessment, you can schedule and take the multiple-choice exam.

 

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.
