Virtusa Corporation announced that it has designed and developed a Virtusa specific Project Management Professional Program in partnership with the Project Management Institute Colombo, Sri Lanka (PMICSL) Chapter.

The course consists of Virtusa specific content and case studies along with modules that meet PMI’s global standards. This is the first of its kind in Sri Lanka’s IT/BPO sector and will be available exclusively for Project Managers at Virtusa.

Selected individuals will also be certified as Project Management Professionals jointly by Virtusa and PMI, providing professional development and valuable recognition for their skills.

“Working closely with our clients, Virtusa’s Project Managers play an important role in managing global teams that deliver digital and transformational solutions, and in the process steer complex, multi-year, and multi-million dollar IT projects from initiation through delivery to benefit realization and client delight. We are glad to offer this world class training with PMI. This program will help strengthen the project management skills within Virtusa, enabling project leadership teams to successfully lead large scale engagements for our clients,” said Madu Ratnayake, senior vice president and general manager, Virtusa.
