Professional Development - Key Policy Agreements

To assist PMI® Project Management Professionals (PMP®) in the A&D SIG who are interested in joining the Department of Defense (DoD) to practice project management, the SIG and its PMI® parent has negotiated with the DOD that the PMP® will be accepted as equivalent to the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) Program Mgmt Tools Course (PMT 250). This means that a significant part, i.e., PMT 250, of the requirement to become Level II certified in the DOD PM Career Field (Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) is fulfilled by the PMP® certification.

In addition to this equivalency, the SIG has negotiated a Cooperative Agreement with the DAU Alumni Association, which provides for the sharing of professional development knowledge and collaboration in conducting symposia related to defense and aerospace.

Documentation for both the PMP – PMT 250 equivalency, and for the SIG –DAU Alumni Association Cooperative Agreement are shown below:
