Portfolio Management Professional (PfMP). Exam contents are due this month.

PMI’s Portfolio Management Professional (PfMP) credential is the latest certification being prepared by PMI. It aims to recognize the advanced experience and skill of portfolio managers. The PfMP demonstrates the proven ability of the beholder in the coordinated management of one or more portfolios to achieve organizational objectives.

PfMP credential holders are responsible for the execution of the portfolio management process, communication around portfolio progress, and recommendations for action. Where project and program managers are responsible for “doing work right,” this is an ideal credential if you are responsible for ensuring your organization is “doing the right work.”

When I had to manage my first portfolio of projects, I struggled a little to find methods, tools, processes, guides and to acquire the skills that were required. So, if this new certification comes with a Body of Knowledge or at least a guide regrouping key pointers, tools, processes and methods, I’m all in for it !
