In my last few post I’ve discussed issues of certification and competence. Lately I’ve also been interested in standards-based project, programme, and portfolio management and researching what is currently out there.
Two of the approaches I’ve been comparing are the IPMA C/B/A and the PgMP. One aspect I like in the IPMA C/B/A is peer reviews. Basically a board constituted of your (prospective) peers has to accept you into the fold. The PgMP just doesn’t have that; instead it relies of a 360 degree type of review which in my opinion would be way too easy to “game”. If I decided to pursue a more advanced certification I think that I’d go for the IPMA C.
What do you think? As always questions and comments are welcome.
