Information Technology Project
Management (ITPM) Program and Information Technology Program Management (ITPgM) Program 
The Information Technology Project Management (ITPM) Certificate program is designed to assist agencies in complying with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) direction. The OMB requires that project managers qualified in accordance with CIO Council guidance manage all major information technology projects. The ITPM Certificate requires successful completion of a graduate-level curriculum to satisfy competencies established by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Interpretive Guidance for Project Management Positions and the CIO Council Clinger-Cohen Core Competencies. The certificate complements general project management training and the ANSI-recognized Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge. It also provides formal educational credit, one of the qualifications required for award of the PMI Project Management Professional (PMP) Certificate. The Information Technology Program Management (ITPgM) Certificate program is designed to meet the ever-increasing call for program managers across the federal government. The OPM is currently building the ITPgM career field and their preliminary competencies were taken into account when selecting the two additional courses that are needed to receive the ITPgM certificate.
