THE NEED
Global Demand
• One-fifth of the world’s GDP, or more than $12 trillion, is spent on projects. And with many skilled
practitioners leaving or scheduled to leave the workforce due to retirement — a trend the Society of Human
Resources (SHRM) identifies as having a major strategic impact for 64% of organizations worldwide — there
is a great demand for knowledgeable project managers.
Why Certify?
• The 2012 PMI Pulse of the Profession study found that organizations with more than 35% PMP certified
project managers had better project performance. And according to a 2007 PricewaterhouseCoopers
survey, 80% of high-performing projects use a credentialed project manager. Make sure you’re one of them
by earning a PMI certification.

prominent.
