DPM Membership is not a simple badge, certification program, or professional association to fill up your bio—it’s an interactive community that offers a curated supply of highly applicable resources that you can use today.

You’ll find resources like on-demand Workshops, eBooks, and Templates to apply to your projects, and you’ll also get the chance to participate in discussions with a network of digital project folks in our exclusive Slack channel who are collaborating, sharing best practice, and supporting one another.

The main focus of DPM Membership is the community—we provide a platform for Members to own the space and the discussion around digital project management. It is a dynamic, evolving space where you are empowered to give shape to the group and to the future of DPM.

DPM Membership is a project management supergroup — it connects project managers with their peers and digital delivery experts to set the new standard for how digital project management should be done. Our members solve challenges, innovate and drive change in the project management field while sharing knowledge and insights with each other along the way.

In contrast, the DPM School is a set of hands-on, self-paced certificate programs that help learners hone the instinct, judgment, and leadership skills required to deliver complex digital projects. Each chapter features video lessons and bonus material like walkthroughs and interviews. The course also includes instructor-reviewed assignments, group discussions, weekly office hours, and opportunities for one-on-one coaching.

You can pay with any major credit card (Mastercard Visa, Discover, AmEx).

No problem. You can cancel your membership at any time. When you cancel your subscription, you’ll retain access to your Membership content until the end of your billing cycle.

So, if you cancel mid-year, your Membership won’t expire until the end of the year within which you subscribed.

Given that this is a subscription that delivers ongoing value, it is our general policy to not offer partial or full refunds for payments.

Please be aware, if you decide to cancel your Membership midway through the term, your Membership will remain active until your billing cycle comes to an end (this means it doesn’t expire until the end of your one-year billing period).
