Program Management Professional (PGMP)
As a program manager, you’re a senior-level practitioner on the forefront of advancing your organization’s strategic goals. You manage multiple, related projects in a coordinated way, achieving benefits that could not occur if the projects were handled separately. Your leadership is instrumental. With program management maturity, an organization’s projects are far more successful than without it — 76 percent compared to 54 percent according to our 2015 Pulse of the Profession® report. The Program Management Professional (PgMP)® is a visible sign of your advanced experience and skill and gives you a distinct advantage in employment and promotion.
If you have the proven ability to manage multiple, related projects and navigate complex activities that span functions, organizations, regions, or cultures and to align results with organizational goals, then you’re a potential PgMP.

The certification exam has 170 multiple-choice questions, and you have four hours to complete it.
