PgMP stands for Program Management Professional, a professional certification abbreviation.

Example: The director holds a PgMP and oversees twelve projects in the modernization program.

Usage notes

The lowercase g distinguishes it from PMP. The panel review evaluates written descriptions of the candidate's program experience before exam eligibility. Relatively few people hold it compared with the PMP.
