If ever there was a good example of what’s WRONG with project management, the PNP certification program is it. The whole premise is based on the IDEA that you, as a project manager have the support and are given the resources to do the job right.
Now I ask you, how often does THAT happen? Anxwer: not enough times to base a certification program on that seems to have value in the marketplace. Now I’m not saying that the PNP has no value, only that companies LIKE the certification and the cert. itself is based on a ideal world scenario.
So what value can be measured in companies that demand a pnp certification but don’t deliver on the support necessary to do the job right? hmmm
