Project Management Certification

CompTIA Project+ is more versatile than other certifications because it covers essential project management concepts beyond the scope of just one methodology or framework. However, it does provide a high-level introduction to Agile as part of one of the objectives. Still, if you would like to focus on say Scrum specifically, you would want to take Scrum Alliance’s Certified Scrum Master certification.

Getting a project management certification validates your project management skills and adds value to your resume. You will be able to prove to employers that you bring in-demand and valuable skills to the table, opening yourself up to more job opportunities.

According to PMI, 15.7 million new project management roles will be added globally across seven project-intensive industries by 2020. Getting certified can also help you advance your career and earn more money. PMI found that those holding PMP report earning 23% more than those who don’t. And according to Global Knowledge, the mean salary for CompTIA Project+ certified professionals in the United States and Canada is $99,430 (overall mean is $84,807).

Earning CompTIA Project+ means that you will have the knowledge and skills required to do the following:
Manage the project life cycle
Ensure appropriate communication
Manage resources and stakeholders
Maintain project documentation

Both CompTIA Project+ and PMP require extensive preparation, and rightly so. Employees who invest in career development and learning are seen as an invested and valued asset for their organization. A project management certification validates your desire and tenacity toward developing and honing your personal and professional skills.
