There is a great confusion in the market concerning positions
for project professionals, and it is very common to see
advertising opportunities for Project Managers that require
academic expertise, PMP certification and extensive experience
in projects.
As well as vacancies for Project Managers where it is crucial
that the professional has a great capacity to perform technical
functions, such as software programming. These are just two
superficial examples of how many people, especially the market
is a bit confusing not only for the definition of the function
name but mainly the functions to be performed by
professionals.
One of the great motivators for this whole mess is that there is
no official definition, formally recognized about positions for
project management professionals for the market as a whole,
even as the post of Project Manager is relatively new, when a
few years ago "naming" was not used to these days.
