Project Management Experts

What Project Management Experts does

Project Management Experts, LLC (PME) is a private training and certification services firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Delaware with operations in Ocean View, DE, Dover, DE, and Leesburg, VA. The company delivers project management and agile certification preparation across two modalities: instructor-led bootcamps (virtual and in-person) and a self-paced online catalog of over 300 courses delivered through a partnership with Mindedge. The core product portfolio includes PMP, CAPM, PMI-ACP, and PMI-RMP exam prep bootcamps under PMI Authorized Training Partner (ATP #3921) status, alongside certification courses from Scaled Agile (SAFe), SCRUMstudy, and Disciplined Agile. Instructors are described as having at least 25 years of practical project management experience with government and large government contractor backgrounds, and the president, Joseph D. Launi, has taught PMP prep for over two decades.

The business model is a multi-stream professional services operation. Revenue is generated from per-student course fees for instructor-led bootcamps ($595-$1,995 per student depending on duration and certification type), recurring/subscription revenue from online e-learning via the Mindedge catalog, and contracted institutional training engagements with government agencies and large buyers. Named institutional customers include the Social Security Administration and the State of Delaware, the latter under a dedicated Learning Portal relationship. Customer segmentation is vertical-led, with government agencies and government contractors as primary segments, complemented by individual professionals and commercial entities purchasing training for career certification.

PME operates as a small boutique firm (1-10 employees per firmographics, undisclosed revenue, no institutional funding). Distribution is multi-channel: direct enterprise/instructor-led sales in the Mid-Atlantic region, a globally available Mindedge online catalog, and dedicated government portals. Marketing relies on content marketing (blog, SEO), organic social (LinkedIn, Facebook), and multimedia (YouTube, podcast appearances). The company has been recognized by findcourses.com with Top 10 rankings in Project Management Courses and Agile Courses in 2022 and holds a 2025 Credly training badge. There is no evidence of public listing, institutional capital, acquisitions, or material restructuring; ownership and operations remain with the founder-president.
