The PgMP (Program Management Professional) certification is offered by the PMI (Program Management Institute) and is considered one of the advanced certifications in the area of project and program management. This certification is considered as a next level from the PMP (Project Management Professional) certification. However, unlike the PMP certification examination, one can’t prepare for the PgMP certification examination simply by studying a book or two. In fact, one needs to demonstrate their experience in program management along with an understanding of a number of program management principles. As the requirements for the PgMP are more extensive, it’s no surprise that there are no more than 3000 PgMP professionals worldwide, compared to about a million PMP certified professionals.
