The problem is not that AT&T has too many PMP's (indeed most "project managers" at T don't hold that professional certification), the problem is that AT&T has too many managers in the "Senior Technical Project Management" title. It's staggering...most non bargained for with no direct reports wind up in that title. So you have many different organizations with all of those folks in title as "project managers" with no formal project management training. And then you have entire organizations made up of actual professional. mostly certified PMP's that really should be doing that project management work. I think the PMO orgs (GIPM, etc) are going to start getting much of the PM work that these other organizations have been holding on to.

The poster said these are certifications other companies are looking for... not Donovan's opinion.
