There is no „one size fits all" project management standard.
Key questions to be considered when deciding, which standard to use and wich certification/s to pursue are:
1/ Which standard is our organisation's project management (PM) method based on?
2/ Which project management method do our main customers use and require?
3/ Which project management method do our main vendors use?
4/ Which eligibility criteria do our potential candidates meet?
5/ How good is the potential candidates' command of English?
6/ Is certification according to one project management standard enough for us?
7/ How much can we afford to spend on project management training & certification?
