Reply To: Is Project Management a Profession?

[The MPUG Community]

 we need to accept the fact that project management processes are context- or application-specific, meaning generic certifications such as the PMP or PRINCE2 are largely meaningless unless adapted for a specific application.

Definitely agree on that, and there’s differences even within a discipline, for example IT infrastructure project management, and IT software development project management.

I think our “community”, as it were, might benefit from an “IT Project Manager” Certification. It could supplement PMP, or replace it.

Would like to hear what others think about this?
