Project-based operations have become the norm in today’s business world. In essence, almost every work effort is a project, from constructing a new building to designing and delivering a new information management system. As projects become the primary method for getting things done and effecting organizational change, it is crucial to choose a good and proven method for managing projects. However, projects cannot be properly managed in a silo. Every aspect of project management is affected by the organization, the social environment, the projects stakeholders, both internal and external, and many other aspects of the context in which the project is carried out. Understanding this context is critical to good planning and good decision making as the project progresses toward achieving its objectives.
What is the Project Management Institute?
The Project Management Institute (PMI) is the leading membership association for professionals in project management. PMI has helped create project management standards and effective techniques to help project management professionals (PMP) succeed. Many jobs require the professional to be PMI standard-aligned and companies are requiring that their employees not only follow PMI techniques and gain Professional Development Units (PDUs), but have the Project Management Professionals (PMP) certification.
PMI was created on the strong belief that project management is the power that helps organizations evolve. The standards of the PMI stem from the number of company projects swelling compared to the lack of talented professionals who can effectively execute these projects. IT professionals who want to gain a competitive edge needed to learn and follow PMI standards to become PMP certified.
What is a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS)?
