To Know More About Framework of PgMP Certification

 The PgMP (Program Management Professional) certification is offered by the PMI (Program Management Institute) and is considered one of the advanced certifications in the area of project and program management. This certification is considered as a next level from the PMP (Project Management Professional) certification. However, unlike the PMP certification examination, one can’t prepare for the PgMP certification examination simply by studying a book or two. In fact, one needs to demonstrate their experience in program management along with an understanding of a number of program management principles. As the requirements for the PgMP are more extensive, it’s no surprise that there are no more than 3200 PgMP professionals worldwide, compared to about a million PMP certified professionals.

A key point to note is that the PgMP certification involves two separate evaluations. The first evaluation is a panel review, which prequalifies candidates before allowing them to take the PgMP certification exam. For example, the PMI requires that the candidate possesses a number of years of relevant experience in project and program management before they can be allowed to take the exam. Although PMI’s requirements to take the examination can change, a person is expected to have a minimum of 15 years of program management experience before they can appear for the PgMP certification examination. Also, you are expected to disclose in detail about your work experience that should demonstrate your program management experience. Once the PMI organization validates a candidate’s experience, they are allowed to take the multiple-choice examination, which is the second of the two evaluations. A successful clearing of the exam certifies the candidate as a Program Management Professional (PgMP certified).

This PgMP exam consists of 170 questions. Out of this, 20 questions are not scored and are test questions for future tests. However, the participants will not be aware of which questions are not scored and hence, will have to attempt all questions.

PMI includes these questions to see how many test takers are getting them right. Based on this, they might decide to include these questions in a future exam. It’s like a survey conducted by PMI.

All questions are in multiple choice format with 4 choices, out of which only one is correct. Each question carries one point. Please note that there is no negative marking, i.e., you don’t get penalized for a wrong answer. So you should attempt all questions even if it is a guess.

If you are not sure about a question, you can “Mark it for Review” and revisit that question at the end of the exam, if you have spare time.

PMI grades students on each of the five program management domains and based on this grading, they declare a PMI-PgMP® pass or fail.

The number of grades one has to score to pass the PMI-PgMP® exam is not made public by PMI. The grading used is “Below Proficient,” “Proficient,” and “Moderately Proficient” in each of the four project risk management domains.

The duration of the exam is 4 hours. The information on the exam, syllabus, and other details from the PgMP examination content outline document can be found on the PMI website.
