Professional Project Management Project management is one of the first professions that
encompass a comprehensive spectrum of talents and skills, knowledge of management practices, and
leadership strategies. Project management can be applied to almost any project undertaking or industry to
complete objectives on time, within cost, and to the satisfaction of all concerned.

Projects are all over the place. They occupy a major part of our work effort and time. Examples of
projects include: (1) developing or designing a new product or service; (2) effecting a change in structure,
staffing, or style of an organization; (3) developing or acquiring a new or modified information system; (4)
designing/constructing a facility or plant; (5) implementing a new business procedure or process; and (6)
conducting feasibility, marketing, procurement and technical studies.

The Project Management Institute:                Established in 1969, the Project Management Institute
(PMI) is the foremost non-profit professional association dedicated to advancing the state-of-the art in
project management with more than 200,000 members and over 250 Chapters worldwide.

The Project Management Institute - Arabian Gulf Chapter (PMI-AGC) was formed in August 1992 and was
officially registered in December 1992. PMI-AGC has seen substantial growth since then and currently has
more than 3,000 members and over 700 PMPs.

The Process of PMP Certification                A dramatic growth of interest in project management
occurred in the early 1980s. PMI recognized that a formalized Project Management Professional
Certification was needed to sustain this growth. To become certified, an individual needs to pass the
Project Management Professional (PMP) Exam which is intended to measure his comprehensive
understanding of the disciplines of PMBOK, the Project Management Body of Knowledge:

                                                   1 of 3
          •       Project Integration Management              •   Project Time Management
          •       Project Scope Management                    •   Project Risk Management
          •       Project Quality Management                  •   Project Human Resources Management
          •       Project Cost Management                     •   Project Communications Management
          •       Project Procurement Management              •   Professional Responsibiilities

PMBOK was developed to serve as the fundamental knowledge base of project management. It includes
numerous terms and definitions that have become industry standards.

Who Should Attend?               All professionals who are interested to learn modern applied project
management and/or wish to prepare for the PMP certification test. This includes individuals working in
projects of different industries such as engineering and construction, infrastructure, computer & MIS,
software development, telecommunications, maintenance and operations, manufacturing, power,
petrochemical, oil & gas, product development, quality implementation, military, information technology,
government, educational, religious, finance, marketing, water development, chemical, mining & mineral, etc.

Why Get Certified?                There are at least 4 reasons for seeking certification:
(1) Need To Expand Competence:
     Managing projects is becoming increasingly complex. They are more integrated, employ multi
     disciplined teams, share resources and cross-organizational boundaries. In this environment, success
     requires more than an understanding of scheduling. It depends on a broad range of technical &
     interpersonal skills. PMP Certification addresses these requirements.
(2) Personal Professionalism:
     Passing the PMP Exam demonstrates a personal commitment to your profession. It integrates your
     thinking and creates awareness in both the technical and interpersonal dimensions of managing
     projects. This awareness helps in developing acceptance among other team members and forms the
     framework for career advancement.
(3) Corporate Support:
     PMP Certification conveys to upper management that you understand the process and how to function
     effectively in a multi-disciplined environment. The PMP Certification also demonstrates competence &
     professionalism. Many companies recognize the value of PMP Certification and have adopted it on a
     company-wide basis. This includes companies with diverse interests such as AT&T, Lucent
     Technologies, LCRA, US West, EG&G, Rust International and others.
(4) International Recognition:
     Certification is also recognized internationally. PMP Exams are now being given in various global
     locations, including the Arabian Gulf (Saudi Arabia, U.A.E. and Kuwait).
