PMP stands for Project Management Professional Qualification Certification. It is initiated by the Project Management Institute (PMI) in the United States, which rigorously evaluates whether project managers have high-quality qualification certification exams for their knowledge and skills.

Its purpose is to provide project managers with a unified industry standard. At present, the certification exams established by the American Project Management Association include PMP (Project Management Professional) and CAPM (Project Management Assistant), which have been established in over 190 countries and regions worldwide.
