🧠 Trend Alert: The Evolution of PM Certifications
Project Management certifications have come a long way from “You passed the test, congrats!” to “Can you manage an AI-powered remote team during a Mars landing?”
What’s Changing?
Traditional certs like the PMP and PRINCE2 are still respected, but newer programs are catching attention, especially those tailored to agile-at-scale, AI integration, and remote-first team leadership.
Micro-certifications and stackable badges from platforms like Coursera, Google, and LinkedIn Learning are on the rise. Short, snackable, and great for LinkedIn humble brags.
