Though its not at all easy to prepare and clear PMI PgMP certification and it really gives you good amount of knowledge about Program management area, but I doubt that industries really recognize this certification as valuable as this should be... While more focus is towards project management, but Program management is also one of the critical area in a company to manage and achieve Organizational Strategic goals... I believe Program management gives a better methodology to monitor and control projects execution and this should get more visibility and valuation now... But I hardly see this trends... your views pls ? Saving Changes...

Interesting discussion
I hold PgMP and PfMP certifications with extensive experience in both project and program management. A significant part of my role involves educating my colleagues on the distinctions between these two disciplines. While our daily initiatives are structured as programs that aim to achieve targeted benefits, many of my colleagues remain focused on outputs, often overlooking the importance of benefits realization. It can be quite challenging and exhausting, especially since there are only three PgMP-certified professionals in the organization, making it difficult for our perspective on the importance of benefits to gain the necessary traction.

I just got my PMP certification. I did the pilot exam, for the new version that will be available from July 2026. I'm thinking to go after the PgMP now to make my profile stronger. Still doing some research to see if it is really in demand. Saving Changes...
