It is important for Project Managers to maintain and improve their project management skills in order to stay competitive in the market.  PMP certification is a critical component for staying competitive.  During recent years, the project management discipline has taken several steps toward more flexible and dynamic project management methodologies.  Moving beyond the traditional waterfall approach, several new methodologies have emerged.  Training and credentialing in these methodologies is highly sought after among Project Management professionals - and are especially relevant in today's economic climate.

The Project Management Institute, with members in 135 countries, is the world's foremost authority for the project management profession. PMI sets industry standards, conducts research, and provides education and certification opportunities designed to strengthen and further establish the profession.
