General
The Resource Management Certified Professional (RMCP)® program is a first-of-its-kind professional certification program for resource managers.
Execution of various services delivery operations is labor intensive. With cost, quality and predictable project performance becoming increasingly important to service operation success, RMCP® fills a void in the industry by addressing the need for more standardized approaches to the RM discipline. It also provides professional development opportunities for RM professionals.
Both individuals and companies can benefit from the program. See next question.
The program is ideal for:
ORGANIZATIONAL COMPETENCY AND DEPTH IN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
No. The underlying methodology taught in this certification program addresses the need to manage either billable or productive utilization of human capital in any industry. It is applicable to billable resources like consultants and professional services people, but is equally valuable to managing other productive pools of people or shared resources. Examples might be software development teams, Enterprise/IT departments of any type company, product development teams, instructors of training companies and more. The program is also a very good fit anywhere project-based work is being conducted.
