About this project

In most markets the PMP cert remains the single biggest resume signal for PM roles — particularly in enterprise, defense, healthcare, and finance. This project is structured study + the exam: pick PMP, PRINCE2, or PSM II based on your target market and ship the cert. Budget realistically — most candidates need 100-150 study hours. The PMP exam costs $405 (PMI member) or $555 (non-member).

Why build this in 2026?

AI is shrinking the floor of PM jobs but enterprise / regulated industries still require certs. PMP is a low-effort high-leverage signal.
