ADAPT AND ADVANCE


Integrating Project Management Institute certifications into DAWIA requirements would enhance the credibility of DOD acquisition professionals. (Graphic by U.S. Army Acquisition Support Center (USAASC))


Integrating these internationally recognized designations into the existing DAWIA certification levels for the program management career field would enhance the professionalism of the acquisi- tion workforce. PMI finds that besides the prestige factor and the associated benefits of more effective management of projects, programs and portfolios, these certifications result in increased opportunities, responsibilities and pay.


It’s important to understand how project, project management, program management and portfolio management are defined in the Project Management Body of Knowledge, the Standard for Program Management and the Standard for Portfolio Manage- ment established by PMI and endorsed by the American National Standards Institute.
