Jeff will share with us information that he presented at the 2010 PMI Global Congress with Brian L. Grafsgaard, PMP, PgMP, QBS about the results from a survey he conducted of over 200 Program Management Professionals.

We will learn how obtaining the new PgMP® credential has benefited them along with a few personal success stories.

I you are thinking about getting the Program Management Professional certification, then you will get information about the benefits and value of getting this credential based on the real experiences of many program professionals. You also get information about the application process.

If you are already a PgMP® credential holder, then you will find out what benefits others have obtained and get ideas for your personal development plans.
