Summer 2019 Project Management Professional (PMP) Training
According to a 2014 article by teagantt, projects budgeted for more than 1 million dollars are 50% more likely to fail than projects budgeted below $350,000. This is why 90% of global senior executives say good project management is a necessary ingredient in producing success, and gaining a competitive advantage.
According to a 2010 study, failed projects account for 8.9% of GDP. Failed projects can ruin businesses, bankrupt families, and devastate economies. Good project management is needed to stop the hemorrhage of funds. The Project Management Institute (PMI) promotes a framework of standards and best practices that significantly improve project performance and success.
Here in New Mexico, we take project management seriously. The NM State IT Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) employs PMI methodology to maintain a stunning 86% project success rate, while the national average is only 63%. Retired Los Alamos County CIO, Laura Gonzales, said, “after we implemented PMI methodologies for Los Alamos’ IT projects, our projects consistently completed on time and within budget. Good project management is integral to success.” Additionally, past chapter president, Michael Adams said, “Earning my PMP certification was challenging, but worthwhile, because I learned some really useful skills, plus I received a promotion and 30% pay increase at work.”
