How important is “PMI certified” when selecting a project manager for an enterprise software implementation?
Project Management Institute (PMI) certification can be a distinguishing criteria when deciding between two project managers with the same experience. PMI certification should never be an absolute requirement for someone to be the lead on an enterprise software implementation.
PMI certification provides great tools and processes to be a great project manager, but it does not certify that person will be a great project manager. The best assurance that a project manager will be a success is that he or she has a successful successful track record in managing like projects.
