Why Project Management Is Essential
Why is project management certification so important in the first place? For one thing, running a project with good management can indeed save companies money. A project manager holds the team together and helps them navigate the ups and downs and the catastrophes and clashes of a given project.
A great project manager also ensures on-time project delivery, budget, and scope observance. They work to unite teams and clients and create a vision for success by keeping everyone focused and on track. When projects are managed properly, the positive impact reverberates beyond just the delivery of the project at hand. That’s why it’s so vital that you possess the project management skills needed to fulfill all of the requirements of a given project, as defined by the PMBOK. The ability to lead, and a firm grasp of risk management, quality control, are also valuable skills that you can learn at Amberton.
What Is the PMBOK and Why is it Important?
PMBOK stands for Project Management Body of Knowledge. It comprises the whole collection of accepted best practices, processes, guidelines, and terminologies, which are standards within the industry of project management. Because the PMBOK is always evolving, it must be updated continuously. This effort is overseen by the Project Management Institute (PMI), which is a not-for-profit global member association of project management professionals that publishes the well-known PMBOK Guide.
As a project manager, it will be your job to develop the methodology you need by tailoring the best practices contained within the Guide to suit your specific requirements. It’s necessary to understand that you will need to be very familiar with the PMBOK Guide in order to obtain the certification you desire, and become a Project Manager. Amberton’s comprehensive Project Management specialization is a perfect way to kick start this journey.
