What is PMP?

PMP (Project Management Professional) is an advanced project-management certification from the Project Management Institute. It validates project-leadership knowledge and assumes substantial prior project experience, defined by PMI's published exam content outline.

What it means

PMI's PMP page links to the official exam content outline (ECO), which structures the exam around People, Process, and Business Environment domains. PMP is an experience-gated credential — PMI requires documented project-management experience to be eligible — so it is not an entry-level certification despite being widely recognized across industries.
