CompTIA Project+ Certification
CompTIA Project+ certification is a global credential that validates the knowledge required to effectively manage projects throughout the entire project life cycle. Based on best practices of project management, as identified by major organizations, the exam incorporates project management concepts including important soft skills such as conflict resolution, negotiation, communication, team building/leadership, and setting and mapping expectations. Individuals with 12 months practical project management experience or those with a strong desire to demonstrate project management knowledge should earn the CompTIA Project+certification.

In 2003, subject matter experts from around the globe added the latest thinking in project management to the exam. This effort made a strong certification even better. As a predictor of practical skills and a valuable career credential, CompTIA Project+ certification is definitely on target.

Why CompTIA Project+?
Industry research indicates that 74 percent of all projects fail, come in over budget or are overdue. Twenty-eight percent of projects fail altogether. Proper training and certification can significantly reduce these risks because certified professionals have the knowledge to successfully overcome obstacles and complete projects on time and within budget.

In addition to traditional projects, organizations frequently engage in technology-based initiatives such as business process improvement projects. A CompTIA Project+ certification can be an important credential for individuals leading projects, as it demonstrates knowledge of critical project management and business concepts.
