“Working as a project management consultant for IT firms, I’ve come across organizations that follow different methodologies for project management and delivery. Some adhered religiously to defined principles of PMI or other organizations, while others managed projects arbitrarily preferring to focus only on technology requirements.

Organizations that did not follow processes showed widening gaps between strategy and execution which usually led to missed targets and reduced growth. According to PMI’s 2015 Pulse of the Profession report, with program management maturity 75 percent of projects were successful as compared to 54 percent who operated without program management maturity

Organizations that registered growth over long periods of time had the distinction of always adhering to defined program and project management processes. Leadership in such organizations are always on the lookout for qualified pros and a PgMP certification can help position managers for strategic and senior roles”. – Jayita Dey (independent IT consultant and certified Project Management Professional.)
