MSP Programme Management and Project Management Institute (PMI) certifications differ primarily in approach and scope.
MSP, or Managing Successful Programmes, is a methodology that focuses on overseeing multiple interrelated projects that contribute towards achieving complex change or transformation. Typically, a public sector Project Management Office (PMO) uses it where strategic alignment, governance, and stakeholder management are crucial.
In contrast, PMI certification, such as the Project Management Professional (PMP) credential, centres on the management of individual projects. PMP is a globally recognised certification that provides comprehensive knowledge of traditional, predictive project management.
Both certifications are valuable in a project management career. However, the choice between the two depends on your role, industry, and organisation’s specific needs.
Here at our Dublin training centre, you can learn to leverage these project management trends and drive your career forward.
