“…It examined the drivers behind obtaining project management certification; the selection of a project management certification programme; and the benefits/drawbacks to an organisation of obtaining project management certification. Tripp (2002) finds that certification can encourage the use of disciplined practices and build awareness of best practices. This study agrees with these and also adds to this body of knowledge by finding that the main driver in larger organisations for the completion of a project management certification programme was a desire by senior management to have a uniform approach to project management across the organisation.…”

“…Certification is a way of improving a discipline by promoting the practical implementation of standards, the awareness of a body of knowledge, the recognition of a code of ethics, and the need for professional development (Tripp, 2002, Pierson et al, 2001. A certification programme will draw from each of these areas to establish a comprehensive competency benchmark for the profession that identifies and establishes standard practice (Tripp, 2002). As businesses become increasingly global there is a growing need to accredit professional certification of individuals on an international basis (Adams et al, 2004).…”

“…Certification can benefit an industry by supporting minimum competency standards; encouraging use of disciplined practices; and building awareness of best practices (Tripp, 2002). According to Guthrie (1998) and Schwalbe (2006, p30) project management certification can provide many benefits to both the business and project managers, including:…”

“…The acquisition of a certification in fields such as public accounting, computer science, engineering, and finance is used as evidence of competency in a particular area, which can increase the holder's competitiveness in the job market and provide him/her a degree of professional prestige [12,13]. Similarly, the GIS profession has also moved toward the development of professional certifications.…”

This study examines the characteristics of the members in the most popular Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Professional (GISP) certification program in the United States as well as the spatial patterns of the certified GISPs. The results show that the majority of GISPs (97.3%) are located in urban areas. About 75% of the GISPs are male. Among all the GISPs, 3971 GISPs (43.3%) play a managerial role, while 4983 individuals (54.5%) assume a non-administrative role. Among the GISPs with a non-administrative role, 348 GISPs (7%) fall within the GIS Developer group, 3392 GISPs (68%) belong to the GIS Analyst group, and 1243 GISPs (25%) play other roles. Additionally, in our analysis of spatial patterns, we identified two hotspots and two coldspots. The first hotspot is centered around Idaho and Wyoming, while the second hotspot includes Virginia, Washington DC, and Maryland. One coldspot is along Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana in the central U.S., while the other coldspot includes states such as Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York on the east coast. The information presented in this study can help GIS educators and practitioners develop a better understanding of the current state of this certification program in the U.S and shed light on how to further improve the GISP certification program.

“…Even though there are advantages of earning a certification, this study affirms that it is not a guarantee of an individual's competency. Reliability of certification, however, relies on the ability of an individual to keep pace with new technologies and software developments, which requires lifelong learning [97,192,213].…”

Expertise Coordination for Agile Software Development Projects

<p>Agile software development projects rely on the diversity of team members’ expertise. This expertise, however, is not adequate on its own: it is important to leverage available expertise through expertise coordination. Expertise coordination requires team members to rely on each other for recognizing who has particular expertise, when and where they are needed, and how to access the expertise effectively. Agile teams also need to rely on outside expertise such as user experience designers, architects, and database administrators. This thesis presents a theory of expertise coordination in Agile Software Development projects. We employed semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis in a Grounded Theory study involving 48 Agile practitioners and external specialists. This study discovered three main categories of expertise coordination: processes of expertise coordination, strategies of managing external expertise, and management roles in supporting expertise coordination. The theory provides a new insight into how Agile teams coordinate internal and external expertise, how they utilize external specialists and outsourcers’ expertise, and how management can support expertise coordination.</p>
