Let us first understand, what is PMP Certification?

PMP stands for Project Management Professional and thereby PMP Certification signifies accredited certification for aspiring Project Managers and Professionals. This certification is provided by Project Management Institute, or more commonly known as PMI.

Project Management is not only about managing the people, it defines a much broader scope related to managing the overall Product Development Life cycle, including both the people as well as the project.

Project Management requires knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to fulfill the project requirements. Generally in organizations, the projects are divided into phases to provide better management and control. Efficient project management is accomplished through use of the processes and in-depth management knowledge to manage these phases, as listed below:

• • Initiating–comprises the start of the project with some kick-off meetings for the project.
• • Planning – preparing the project plan to adhere to the timelines of the project.
• • Executing – gathering the facts, allocating the tasks to different teams, and ensuring the work is completed.
• • Monitor and Controlling – supervising the allocated work, understanding the difficulties faced, and providing the solution at each step.
• • Closing – Finally successful delivery of the project within predefined timelines and deliverables.

Collectively all the above phases come under the Product Development Life cycle. Also the Project manager has to deliver the projects while balancing the below constraints:

• • Scope
• • Schedule
• • Quality
• • Resources
• • Customer Satisfaction
• • Risk

Any change in one of the above parameter can impact the other parameter and lead to changes in overall project delivery plan.
