Where are you, certified PMs or a scatter of PMI-certified project managers across the country

Keeping in mind the results of the article , I want to say right away - this is not an advertisement.





Just curiosity - mine and some other good people who, directly or indirectly, asked to calculate such information.



There is such a Project Management Institute - PMI and it certifies different leaders.



In Russia, it is not that they are highly respected (more often they simply do not know), but in the world they do. And here we will figure out in which regions there are many certified, and where - not so much.



What do you need to know?



Certification is not free, so the price tag for trying to pass the exam rarely drops below 1000 killed raccoons. Formally less, but materials and all that - a couple of courses, at least, alas, are not free.



I would say that the cost of preparing and passing on popular certificates goes up to 3,000 of these raccoons, although sometimes I hear stories of 10,000.



PS All lists of more than 5 regions will be under the cut - just so that you can scroll faster to the end.



Everything is lost!



Or regions where there are no participants.



We have such 34 regions.





And one very small subject, which is in the documents. But there probably still are they - they just are not registered there, and therefore do not indicate their address.



This is me talking about other territories, including the city and the Baikonur cosmodrome.



They are not here
, ( PMI) :



  • -
  • -
  • ()
  • โ€”

  • -




No, in fact - no and no, and living people, quite themselves.



Just know there - you can be the first.



Leaders from the end



Or regions with 1 certified specialist.



We have 11 of them, but I got 13 in the table.



Leaders, but not the ones
, 11, :







Here we have 1 person each with 1 certificate.



There are two more regions in my table - this is an "unknown" region - apparently, the person indicated his data during registration with a copy-paste and something went wrong with the encoding.



For those wishing to solve the riddle, the region sounds like this - ะŽ ยฐ ะ…ั”โ€š-ัŸยตโ€šยตะ‚ ยฑ ั“ะ‚ั–.



And the second region is not a region specified by a person, this is Moscow in the Rostov region. Or the Rostov region in Moscow.



I did not begin to ascribe it somewhere, since such a broad soul.



Good Losers



Losers
.







Here the situation has become more interesting than in the previous section.



Because in two regions there is only one specialist, and two certificates.



These are the Magadan region and the Vologda region.



In the Magadan region - they can be considered completely one, because these are CAPM and PMP certificates.



In Vologda, it is more interesting - PMP and PMI-ACP.



Troechniki



  • Rostov region
  • Kirov region
  • Omsk region
  • Saratov region
  • Volgograd region


There are 3 certificates everywhere, but in the Omsk region there are two specialists.

One of them is both CAPM and PMP - and both received in 2020.



Good



  • Kaliningrad region
  • Tula region
  • Ryazan Oblast


There are 4 professionals everywhere, ready to pull out any (probably) project.



Give me five!





Itโ€™s a pity for me to write them as excellent students, in comparison with the following regions, but here people are clearly trying.



  • Belgorod region
  • Republic of Udmurtia
  • Tver region


Each has 5 (five) specialists - and this is really not bad.



Half a dozen



  • Krasnoyarsk region
  • Tomsk region


People have one certificate, six people per region.



Intermediate dozen



Regions in which there are specialists, but dividing them into separate "sections" seems to me superfluous.



  • Kaluga region - 7 specialists
  • Leningrad region - 8 specialists
  • Tyumen region - 7 specialists, but 9 certificates
  • Primorsky Territory - 9 specialists
  • Krasnodar region - 10 specialists
  • Sakhalin Region - 10 specialists






And I would like to stop at Tyumen separately, because a person lives there with a rare set of certificates in the whole world.



This is someone Andrey Ch., PMP, PMI-SP, PMI-RMP.



And there are two of them in Russia.



Second ten



8 regions with from 11 to 20 certificates on their "balance sheet".



Of these, 3 - not one per person.



  • Krasnodar region, 10 specialists
  • Sakhalin region, 10 specialists
  • Samara region, 13 certificates, 10 specialists
  • Nizhny Novgorod region, 15 certificates, 13 specialists
  • Novosibirsk region, 15 certificates, 14 specialists
  • Voronezh region, 16 specialists
  • Lipetsk region, 17 specialists
  • Perm Territory, 20 specialists


PPS There is no spoiler here - because they are not with the same number.



So, Samara region - Maxim M., PMP, PgMP, PMI-ACP.

Nizhny Novgorod Region - Roman S., PMP, PMI-ACP and Evgeny S., PMP, PMI-ACP.

Novosibirsk Region - Dmitry M., PMP, PMI-ACP.



Penultimate four



The last intriguing block.



With the latter, I think, everything and so I understand - what and how.



7th place - the Republic of Bashkortostan.



21 certificates, 20 specialists.



The certificates are the same as in the Nizhny Novgorod and Novosibirsk regions - Unir K., PMP, PMI-ACP.



6th place - Chelyabinsk region



22 specialists - and this, in my opinion, is not a bad result for an industrial region.



5th place - Republic of Tatarstan



Probably one of the leaders in the country in terms of IT.



24 certificates and 23 specialists, the owner of two - Vitaly B., PMP, PMI-ACP.



4th place - Sverdlovsk region



The industrial leader of the Urals has 39 certified specialists in its budget.



In fact, it was for the sake of all these regions that the article was started.



Leaders look boring, obvious and understandable.



Leaders



3rd place - Moscow region



In general, it would be possible not to separate this region from Moscow, because the economy and politics of the regions are so similar in recent years that many consider them one place.



But this is not the case.



229 certifications and 217 certified professionals.



More than 5 times the gap with 4 seats.



What combinations of certificates are found here is not so interesting, but nevertheless someone Dmitry K., PMP, PMI-RMP, PMI-SP, PMI-ACP, Eugene M., PMP, PMI-RMP, Sergey M., PMP lives here , PMI-RMP and Danil Yurievich D., PMP, PgMP.



2nd place - St. Petersburg



Northern capital, city on the Neva.



236 certificates and 224 people.



Among those whom I would like to note are Alexey N., PMP, PMI-ACP, PMI-RMP, vice president of the St. Petersburg branch of PMI and Anton T., PMP, PgMP.



Expected Winner - Moscow



I think it was no secret to anyone which city would be the most certified.

There are enough reasons for this - from the number of parent companies to the budgets, which are divided mainly here.



1032 certificates. More than a thousand - again a multiple increase.



And 995 certified professionals.



Whom do you want to highlight? Yes, there are not so few of them. Not all of these people are public, but it is foolish to deny their achievements:



Anton S., PMP, PgMP

Evgeniy G., PMP, PgMP

Maxim M., PMP, PfMP

Marina P., PMP, PgMP

Nikolay B., PgMP

Roman B., PMP , PMI-PBA

Sergey G., PMP, PgMP

Vadim B., PMP, PfMP



Why do I mention people in this article?



Well, for example, because there are only a few hundred PfMPs in the world. And we have two of them.



The rest, rare certificates (PgMP, PMI-PBA, PMI-RMP, PMI-SP) in the world from 2 to 6 thousand. And we have enough of them.



In fact, I believe my article will motivate someone to go and pass the exam. Someone that he will be the first in the region. Someone - the opportunity will stand out. And someone wants to end up in such an article sooner or later.



And for me it is important just to prove that in our country there are not only bears, AK-47 and vodka. And we are cooler than many other countries - because these certificates are not given for pull and for acquaintance.
