Why PfMP? The Project Management Institute (PMI ) recently introduced the Portfolio Management Certification (PfMP ) and added to its suite of credentials as recognition to the growing importance of experienced project professionals who are responsible for the planning, organization, and execution of strategically aligned initiatives called portfolios. For most project professionals, becoming a portfolio manager represents the pinnacle of the project management profession, and the PfMP credential provides the formal acknowledgment of this important accomplishment.
