Who this book is for

In a world that is becoming more focused on technology, understanding project management across multiple industries is an essential career skill. CompTIA Project+ certification proves that you have the knowledge and skills to solve business problems in virtually any business environment running small- to medium-sized IT projects on a regular basis. If you are a new project manager or a seasoned project manager in the field of IT, certification can help you become more competitive and employable.

Certification also shows dedication to your organization and your career trajectory. Research shows that people who study project management best practices get hired or promoted more often than those who do not. Job applicants with high school diplomas or college degrees who included project management coursework or certifications on their resumes fared consistently better in job interviews and were hired or promoted more often.

Testing for certification can be an invaluable competitive advantage for IT project management professionals.
