Dear Kimberly
Thanks for sharing the PMI Fact File Stats for December 2022
What is the balance that the PMI makes about this year?

Here is the updated
trend chart. While membership is still in a free fall, DASSM and DASM certifications are still showing the most growth.

Hello Rami - we are still awaiting more data on these certs, thanks for your patience!

It was found, compared to December 2021:
- A 3.04% drop in the number of members
- A 9.25% growth in the number of PMI-ACP certifications
- A 3.37% growth in the number of PMP certifications
PMI-ACP and PMP corresponds to the number of certifications with the smallest increase
Growth in the number of certified people:
- CAPM: 14.30%
- PMI-RMP: 35.57%
- PMI-SP: 12.22%
- PMI-PBA: 11.86%
- PgMP: 17.63%
-PfMP: 16.03%
Is it too early to draw conclusions or could this weak growth in the number of PMP and PMI-ACP certified people be a consequence of PMI's departure from the strategic focus?

I've been here thinking to myself
How many people were certified in that certification that came to fill the gap in the certifications proposed by PMI
What is this certification?

@ Luis: Regarding the relatively huge drop of PMP certifications in �22, When looking back at years of exam changes I noticed that every year near the end of the �old� exam a lot of people quickly certify before the exam expires and of the of course the first year with the new exam shows much lower certifications. We could see more or less the same behavior in the data of Dec 2013 vs 2014 (nearly 50% drop in new PMP certifications) and 2017 vs 2018 (nearly 40% drop). Of course we�ve never seen a drop like this but then again, the growth in number of PMP certifications in 2021 was extreme.

On top of that; growth in percentages may often look quite more impressive than it deserves based on the facts. Like the PgMP that shows percentage wise a good looking growth of 18%!! but when looking at the absolute number in the whole year it�s only just 616 globally, so not that remarkable.

Dear Anton
To have a vision about the evolution, it is the relative growth that we must use as a reference
