Within an SAP environment, SAP Project Systems is more comprehensive, ties in multiple areas of the organization, utilizes the entire enterprise databases and can have a MS Project component.
One of the advantages to the SAP Project Systems course is that it ties to the Project Management Institute (PMI) body of knowledge. PMI is the organization, worldwide, that certifies project managers. This course is designed to teach the student PMI concepts enforced by SAP Project Systems. The outcome of the course is that the student will be able to build and run projects in SAP Project Systems and the student will be eligible to sit for the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) exam.
