Hello Saurabh. I currently hold a PMP and a PMI-SP. After much pondering, I decided to pursue the PMI-RMP.

My decision hinged on the fact that I am often involved before the projects, where risk has to be determined to decide whether or not the project makes sense.

Hello Stephane,

Thanks for your post. I understand that risk management is very essential for project success. However, looking at the risk management topics for this exam it looks more or less the same as PMP exam topics. Thats why the doubt came to my mind.
What different will I learn while studying for the PMI-RMP exam which is not there in PMBOK ?

When I took the PMI-SP exam, it covered the same material as the project time management knowledge area of the PMP but in greater details. The PMI-RMP is the same.

There are many certifications that cater to enterprise risk management. Please note that such certifications are more useful for the financial services industry, like banks and insurance companies.
