Any change of PMI requiring all those holding PM positions globally to be certified? It seems PM and PgM are open titles that every jim and jack can hold even when they dont understand the PM concepts and practices. This is very disheartening to the certified society of PMs, especially me. What do you think? Saving Changes...
The issues there are so many roles that are half projects managers, so it's not practical to have mandatory certification. If a HR person was asked to train 5 members of her team in some application, you could argue that would be a project, so should be certified in project management? Then you have "program managers" that are basically headcount managers who deploy very little project management skills, but are in charge of a program of some sort, should they also have to get certified in program management which is seen as a higher standard than project management?

I doubt this will ever be enforced by PMI. The job market itself will dictate how valued the project management profession is based on skills set, experience and credentials acquired and how the combination of these make them a worthy candidate. Saving Changes...
