The Project Leadership standard certifies people who deliver — scope, risk, money and people — and can show what happened when it went wrong. Assessment draws on your actual portfolio, including the projects that were difficult.
Each area is evidenced from your own work. Assessors look for what you decided and why, not for a rehearsed answer.
The same six-level framework, expressed in the terms of this discipline. Experienced applicants can enter directly at a higher level through the portfolio route.
