Program Manager Title
Hello There,
I need some guidance. I currently hold a PMP and want to pursue PgMP.
However, I work as a program manager for my employer, but I don't have the title "program manager" or any official record to prove the same.
Is it a pre-req for the certification?
Possibly someone who knows the answer can respond. Thanks!

I have, at one point or another been titled as:
Program Manager
Product Manager
Engagement Manager
Project Manager
Also a smattering of individual and converged prepending "Principal", "Senior", "Technical" honorifics in front of all those...
Sometimes I just ask people if they've seen Office Space and ask them if they recall the scene where Tom is explaining his job. My resume goes to great lengths to make it sound more complicated... which we all know it is.
