Dear Kimberly
Thank you for sharing the "PMI Fact File" with us.
It should be noted a large increase in the number of PMI-PBA ( 5.63%), PMI-ACP ( 6.42%) and PMP ( 7.84%) certifications.
Congratulations to the whole team even though the number of members has grown very little

Thanks Kim, useful updates
I'm really fan of this updates!
Thanks Kim for keep us informed with this updates
Normally we have every month, 5,000 to 7,000 people added to PMP in the last 10 years I have seen in my experience.
In May 2021 - 1,151,458
In June 2021 - 1,141,147 (- 10,311)
In July 2021 - 1,230,612 (89,465)
How come suddenly it's going up to 89,000 in one month
Is test complexity is going down?

And crickets...... Grandhi, your guess is as good as mine.
Disturbing to say the least how the numbers are yoyo-ing all over the place. 90K PMPs in one month? Or is this a lagging indicator. Can someone at HQ respond? I tagged PMI on LI about this a month ago.

Greetings - PMP held a China exam in June and these numbers reflect the credentials that were bestowed from this event. Numbers will fluctuate based on when and if a credential holder renews their active credential.
