Pmp is called project management professional qualification certification in Chinese. At present, the recognized certificate in the field of project management is a qualification examination to evaluate whether the knowledge and skills of project managers meet high quality standards, which is equivalent to an introductory certificate of project management.

Organized by project management institute (PMI).

PMI introduced the project management professional (PMP) certification from 1984. They pay attention to the integrity of knowledge, and after meeting the basic requirements of project management for time and quantity, they answer 200 questions within 4 hours to decide a person's qualification. PMP has great influence in the world.

PMBOK (official textbook) divides project management into five process groups and ten knowledge fields, covering the whole project management process. The old syllabus is also based on this, and there are many theories. But now the exam is based on the new syllabus of the sixth edition, with agility accounting for 50%, which is quite flexible, and it is no longer a simple five process groups and ten knowledge fields.

In the process of learning PMP, we can learn a professional skill and knowledge, and it is not necessary to engage in related industries to be useful. These may be a valuable learning experience and social experience for college students who have just graduated and entered the society. Even if you are in other industries, the process of learning PMP will still benefit a lot! According to the people who wrote PMP, these people are all senior project managers in the world, and the textbooks they wrote have profound educational significance and valuable project management experience!

In the past, most of our projects were done by experience, patting our heads and doing it. Basically, for a long time, we were all taking detours and groping in detours. But until you have a systematic project management thinking, you can accurately grasp the key content and complete the deployment quickly, even if there are some emergencies and emergencies in the middle, you can handle them well. Three words: fast, accurate and hard!

If you are an experienced old PM, in your rich experience, learning PMP can help you sum up your own experience and make you do things more systematically, methodically and directionally! I believe that when doing projects, everyone will be confused and struggling, and learning PMP will reduce the pressure of doing projects.

Of course, soft power is also important!

In the process of learning PMP, we can learn the professional ideological quality that project managers should have, which is applicable to all industries! For example: communication skills, problem solving skills, team management and leadership skills!

I think in the workplace, only by combining hard skills and soft skills can we be satisfied, give full play to our skills and knowledge, and have better job opportunities and better treatment.
