What is a PMP®

Find out what PMP® is all about, what advantages PMP certification brings you, and why it is considered the benchmark for professionalism in international project management.

PMP® explained briefly:

The PMP® certification (Project Management Professional) is the most widely recognized credential for experienced project managers worldwide. It is awarded by the Project Management Institute (PMI), the largest professional association for project management worldwide.

A PMP® shows that:

  • You have mastered project management in every working method – classic, agile, or hybrid.
  • You can lead teams, manage processes, and achieve targets – across industries and national borders.
  • You belong to a global community of over 1.6 million PMP®-certified professionals.

Who is the PMP® intended for?

PMP certification is aimed at project managers with several years of professional experience who want to prove their competence, deepen their knowledge, and advance their careers in a targeted manner.

Whether in corporations, medium-sized businesses, or internationally active companies, more and more sponsors expect a PMP® certificate when it comes to responsible project tasks.

PMI certifications such as PMP® are based on the PMBOK® Guide, which describes global best practices – regardless of industry, region, or project type.

PMI membership – worthwhile or not?

PMI membership is not mandatory for certification – but highly recommended.

Your advantage as a PMI member:

  • You pay a significantly reduced exam fee
  • You receive the official PMBOK® Guide (standard reference work) as a free download
  • You gain access to many additional resources, study groups, and the German PMI community
