Nearing: Portfolio Management Professional (PfMP) Live Virtual Course

The best time to take the Portfolio Management Certification depends on several factors, such as your professional goals, experience, and current knowledge of portfolio management. However, generally speaking, it is recommended to take the certification after gaining some practical experience in portfolio management and after acquiring a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts and principles of portfolio management.

It is important to note that most portfolio management certifications have prerequisites that require a minimum level of education or experience. Therefore, it is important to review the certification requirements and ensure that you meet them before applying for the certification exam.

    Project Portfolio Management Summit

    The theme of this summit is “Making Project Portfolio Management Work: Current and Emerging Practices”.  The focus will be on sharing good practices, currently being implemented by portfolio management professionals around the world.  In addition to gaining new insights, each of the sessions will also provide practical tips and tools to aid in the implementation of these concepts.

     We also learned from multiple people that while they would like to attend, the time zone does not work for them. Thus, we are also offering a recorded version only, for $49.
