State
Project Management Certification
In recent
years, the knowledge and skills required to manage State technology
projects has increased dramatically. In response to this
changing landscape, the Government Information Technology Agency has
developed a new program to help agency project managers enhance their
ability to complete technology projects on time and within budget.
The State
Project Management Certification program can provide your employees
with the necessary project management skills to effectively and
efficiently develop, implement and monitor State projects.
In the
future, GITA anticipates that many high risk projects with significant
financial implications for the State will arise. To ensure
that these projects are managed effectively, GITA began collaborating
with agency CIO’s and the Arizona Government University on this
exciting initiative to respond to a shortage of qualified project
managers. June 23rd, 2011

The
State Project Management Certification program consists of three major
components:
1.
An intensive, week long class in Project Management taught by an
instructor certified by the Project Management Institute.
Upon completion of the class, students take a comprehensive exam to
measure project management aptitude.
2.
A one-half day GITA class emphasizing State requirements in security,
privacy, enterprise architecture, policies & standards,
oversight and project investment justification.
3. An
attestation from the agency CIO or Director that the candidate for
certification has at least two years of project management experience.
It is
important for your agency to have State certified project managers. In
addition to improving your chances for completing a project
successfully, the Government Information Technology Agency and the
Information Technology Authorization Committee require major and/or
agency critical projects be managed by State certified project
managers.
