PM training, employer support for the above.]


Hi Jennifer,

I can't speak on behalf of the PMP program or the alternative methods you
found. My question to you is, if you already are involved in projects and
are leading projects, why wouldn't you want to apply that time forwards
your PMP credential so you can get something out of the work you're
already doing? Project planning often falls in the TechCom/BA lap anyway.

In this industry every certificate, specialty, and credential is useful for
opening conversations with people you don't know. They may also give you
negotiating advantage. Long term success comes from your ability to hit
quickly and achieve great results consistently.
