The Project Management Professional (PMP)® Credential:

Individuals who hold PMI's PMP credential demonstrate a proficient level of project management leadership skills. To be eligible for a PMP credential, you must meet specific guidelines that objectively measure experience, education and professional knowledge.

The PMP was initiated in 1984 to recognize an individual’s demonstrated understanding of the
knowledge and skills to lead and direct project teams and to deliver results within the constraints of schedule, budget, and resources. Candidates for the PMP credential ensure that all of the aspects of the project plan are executed and that progress and variances are properly addressed and communicated.

They are responsible for all aspects of the project for the life of the project and not only lead and direct the project, but also oversee project team members.

Once you have attained the PMP credential, you must participate in the Continuing Certification
Requirements (CCR) program to maintain an active certification status. The PMP certification cycle lasts three calendar years. During that cycle, you must attain no less than 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs) toward credential maintenance.
