MSP Foundation Certification is aimed to make you understand the MSP guidance thoroughly to work in an efficient way with those involved in the management of a programme or those who act as an informed member of a programme office, business change team or project delivery team working within an environment supporting MSP. MSP or Managing Successful Programme management is a management tool to bring people activities and information all together to achieve the end goal. A successful MSP Foundation candidate should be able to start applying the methods of MSP to a real project but may not be sufficiently skilled to do this appropriately for all situations. Their individual project management expertise, complexity of the project and the support provided for the use of MSP in their work environment are some factors that impact what he or she can achieve.
