Even though we live in an era of projects, in 2011, 36 % of projects did not successfully meet their original goals and business intent.When a project fails, an average of one-third of that project’s budget is lost for good.

Today, we all deal with projects in one way or another, whether as sponsors, team members, project managers, or stakeholders. Your job title may not include Project Manager, but nevertheless managing projects is a given in any form of professional work.

Organisations and business of today need personnel with solid project management competence. Certified project managers know how to deliver with quality, faster and less expensively. The IPMA certification, reviews a portfolio of evidence to assure end –to-end project management grasp.
