PMI-SP removed from the PMI website

Hello Tolgahan - I have some information from our BO's. While this specific credential isn’t featured on the framework page, it can still be found and purchased on PMI.org. at https://www.pmi.org/certifications/scheduling-sp. The main page only emphasizes the areas of highest interest and focus within the community right now.

PMI continuously evaluates our current portfolio to determine the right product mix to meet our community’s most important needs, including ongoing evaluation of PMI-SP. There hasn't been a decision to retire this certification and we continue to sell and support it.

Also, if PMI were ever to retire a specific credential, the precedent is to give significant advanced notice to customers, forever recognizing the validity of the certification, including allowing customers to stay current through PDUs and renewal. This mitigates any risk one may contemplate in deciding whether to certify should they have concerns about the cert's future.

I hope this helps, and if you have further questions, please direct them to [email protected].

Sylvia Donado , thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences regarding the scheduling credential with PMI. I can understand your frustration, especially after such a long commitment to the field. It’s seems that the scheduling community has unique needs that require more robust support. While it’s disappointing that you had to seek assistance elsewhere, it’s worth considering that PMI may have their own strategic reasons for their current approach. Your insights are valuable, and it’s important for PMI to hear from experienced members like you.

Kimberly Whitby ,is there any way we can assist in conveying our concerns to the exam or credential department? I appreciate your help with this. Thank you
