Recently, the President signed into law S.1550, the Program Management Improvement and Accountability Act of 2015 (PMIAA), which will enhance accountability and best practices in project and program management throughout the federal government. The legislation, strongly endorsed by the Project Management Institute (PMI), was approved by both chambers of Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support.
As noted by PMI’s 2015 Pulse of the Profession®, PMIAA addresses these fundamentals first by taking stock of the talent already on board in government and mandating the development of a strategy to develop and recognize that talent. It will support the desire of younger workers who increasingly value skills portability and new challenges and answer the call for innovative hiring practices to bring in new government talent by finally taking a credible inventory of the available talent.
This phenomenon means that the Project Management Professional certification (PMP) is becoming more valuable in the workplace. It is one of the few certifications that you can use at your duty station today and still have a valuable certification years later.
The PMP is the gold standard of project management certification. Recognized and demanded by organizations worldwide, the PMP validates the earner’s competence to perform as a project manager, leading and directing projects and teams. PMI certification holders work in every industry, from healthcare, telecommunications, and finance to IT and construction
Comments from a recent class included the following:
My ability to go from knowing zero about Project Management in November to certification today (March 2021) is a testament to your great course.
I currently manage several projects; this information will benefit each of them, their teams, and the command (as I manage resources and accomplish pieces of the strategic vectors).
Everything we do in the military is a project. I can use this immediately. The knowledge and skills gained will allow me to understand the scope & goals better, be better organized, better organize my teams for success and communicate more effectively.
I can use the PMI’s methodology to organize better & track my current ongoing project. Sticky notes are elementary. PMP is for big kids and grownups.
I am standing up a new group, and as such, I will apply the information I have learned here to ensure success and efficiency.
Our goal is to take you to the next level. More to follow during the course about the “why.”
