Green Project Management

Today, on World Environment Day, we're proud to launch the Certified Sustainable Project Professional (CSPP™) — the evolution of the GPM-b™, now offered as a PMI + GPM certification.

The timing isn't incidental. Sustainability has moved from the margins of strategy to the center of delivery. PMI's Maximizing Project Success research, across more than 10,000 project professionals, found it to be the single highest predictor of project success — ahead of methodology, governance, and every traditional delivery factor. Yet most organizations still treat it as something added on after, rather than built in.

The CSPP™ exists to close that gap. It establishes sustainability as a core project management knowledge area: how to uncover hidden value, mitigate risk, build resilience, and turn enterprise goals into measurable project outcomes.

Join us today at 12:00 PM EDT for a live session — "From GPM-b™ to Certified Sustainable Project Professional (CSPP™)" — covering what the CSPP™ includes, how it's earned, how it compares to other certifications, and what the transition means for current GPM-b™ holders.

Most project managers were trained for a world that no longer exists.

Stable supply chains. Predictable markets. Risks that could be identified, analyzed, and managed before they happened.

That world is gone.

Geopolitical instability, climate disruption, resource constraints, migration, regulatory volatility, and economic uncertainty are colliding in ways that traditional project management was never designed to address.

In our latest Perspectives article, Hasyimah Afandi explores why the polycrisis is changing the role of the project leader and what sustainable project leadership looks like when conditions can change faster than project plans.

A timely read for anyone responsible for delivering outcomes in an increasingly unpredictable world.
