In 2017, The Project Management Institute (PMI) estimated that project-oriented work attributed to $12 Trillion; by 2027, PMI expects the number to grow to $27 Trillion.  Yet, according to the Standish Group, only 35% of projects undertaken worldwide are successful. Estimates suggest that eighty-eight million people are currently working on projects, with the vast majority not formally trained.  For those who do hold certification, 52% of PMPs have less than 5-years of experience.
