GCPM Launches Associate Certificate™ Program for Project Managers, Agile Practitioners and Business Analysts
United States, January 19, 2015 (Newswire.com) - GCPM Project Management, world’s leading not-for-profit professional membership association for the project, program and portfolio management profession, has recently announced the release of the GCPM Associate Certificate™ Program—a certification providing organizations, project and business leaders with a cross-disciplinary understanding of Project Management, Business Analysis and Agile practices.
"These days, successful companies require project professionals who are able to fill various roles on teams and use multiple skills to improve project performance," says Khalid Al Mahmood, Director of GCPM.
According to Mahmood, projects today often require a team that is familiar not just with traditional project management or business analysis or agile, but the combination of all three. Practitioners at first qualified in only one of these individual disciplines are now required to have knowledge—in some cases extensive knowledge—of the other areas. The GCPM Associate Certificate™ brings together the best of project management, agile training and business analysis, which in the end acts as an all-in-one certificate that challenges professionals looking for cross-disciplinary skills.
"Mahmood stated that students entering this program will develop practical knowledge instantly applicable on their job, he also points out that the students can earn the certification at their own pace, based on their respective schedule and professional development needs. Applicants can commence training the day they enroll for the program and will have the support of more than 30 instructor-led virtual classrooms and e-Learning courses to select from each month to complete the program.
Individual and organizations looking to learn more about this new certification are encouraged to visit the GCPM website for more information.
