Chartered Project Professional will it be worth the effort?

Chartered Project Professional will it be worth the effort

?

With the UK association for Project Management hoping to get Charter status any day soon, will it be worthwhile being a chartered project professional. At the end of the day this depends if employers place a premium on "professional" project managers. Why should they do this? Unlike many of the older professions Doctors, Lawyers and Accountants, chartered status will not be a legal requirements to practice, so will being a Chartered Project Professional differentiate one project manager from another? And will this value be recognised in the Jobs market?

We only need to look at the PRINCE2 qualification for the answer. When faced with a stack of applications for a job, those with the best quality qualification will get to the top of the list. Form this trend we can expect Chartered Project professional to rapidly earn a value in the market place and a ChPP could be the next "badge" on honour. But is this true value?

Are we not missing the whole point of a profession, the value of a professional project manager, is to improve our industries quite appalling track record at delivering successful project within the constraints expected by the sponsors, stakeholder and the public. Will a professional project manager be more competent, capable and successful than one of the street (even with a one week PRINCE2 course)? This will be the real challenge the APM and those who put themselves forward to for chartered status. If they can deliver more successful projects for the sponsors, business and the public then the chartered status will have real value in eyes of society.
