CompTIA Project+

CompTIA Project+ is ideal for IT pros who need to manage less complex projects as part of their other job duties. Project+ is demanded by employers because it covers how to manage a project lifecycle by identifying and managing risk, establishing a communication plan, managing resources, and stakeholders, and maintaining project documentation.

Entry-level PM skills for IT pros have become necessary as the industry becomes more regulated and more emphasis is placed on risk management. In addition, agile and waterfall methodologies are used more frequently for a wider variety of IT projects. Hiring managers need their staff to manage projects, determine project risk, and communicate with project teams. This makes CompTIA Project+ the ideal certification for IT pros looking to learn those hands-on, entry-level project management skills.

Project+ is a springboard into more complex career project management certifications, such as CAPM and PRINCE2 as it covers a high-level introduction to Agile as part of certain objectives.

• Designed for IT Professionals: CompTIA Project+ covers the methodologies, frameworks and Agile skills necessary to efficiently manage and deliver IT projects while taking new topics like change management and compliance into consideration.
• Ideal for Smaller Projects: CompTIA Project+ is ideal for professionals handling less-complex projects while also managing the project life cycle, ensuring appropriate communication, managing resources and maintaining project documentation.
• Good for Life: CompTIA Project+ is good for life. That means once you are Project+ certified, you won’t ever need to renew your certification. Instead, you can focus on building your knowledge and advancing your career.
