This certificate focuses on three of the more comprehensive project management knowledge areas and processes that many project managers are not as familiar with. In many organizations, quality management, procurement, and the allocation of resources are often done by other members of the organization, not the project manager. However, project managers who have acquired the skills to handle these aspects of project management are more empowered to move into a senior level role within their company.
