The Project Management Professional (PMP) examination is for project managers who have a combination of experience and education. Not every project manager can take the PMP exam, and not every project manager who takes the PMP exam earns the PMP certification. It is an elite certification that shows prospective employers, clients, and other stakeholders that the project manager assigned to a given project is educated, experienced, and qualified to lead the project to a successful conclusion.
