Project managers accept responsibility for the completion of specified projects. A project is an organized sequence of events that lead to an outcome, which may be as diverse as a new automobile, a new house or a new song. Project managers bring together the talent, resources and energy to start, manage and finish projects.
PMI certification is a widely understood and accepted designation for project managers. Employers, colleagues and customers recognize PMI-affiliated project managers for their commitment to quality and professionalism.
While the CAPM can be earned by professionals in any career stage, its focus on the essentials of projects and project management makes it an ideal match for early career stages. The CAPM credential matches well with more specific or technical fields to create a formidable qualification for emerging project managers.
CAPM preparation focuses on the flow and sequence of project management from start to finish. It emphasizes project resources, risks and the process of executing successful projects.
