The Capital Planning Professional (CPP) certification was developed by the Federal CPIC Forum’s Education and Certification Special Interest Group. The purpose of the certification is to provide a formal level of distinction for the best and brightest subject matter experts in the field of federal capital planning and investment control. In addition, it also acknowledges individuals who share the same combination of professional ethics, knowledge, and experience that are the hallmarks of excellence within the profession. The Federal CPIC Forum will provide for the administration of the CPP, which will include independent verification and validation of references and content of applications, approvals, and certification of appropriate applicants, denials of certification (when appropriate,) and management tracking of certified CPP members.

Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) is a structured, integrated approach to managing information technology (IT) investments. It is the primary process for making investment decisions, assessing investment process effectiveness, and refining investment related policies and procedures. It ensures that all IT investments align with the agency’s mission and support business needs while minimizing risks and maximizing returns through the investment’s lifecycle.

CPIC is mandated by the Clinger-Cohen Act which requires government agencies to use a disciplined process to acquire, use, maintain and dispose of information technology (IT). CPIC relies on a systematic approach to IT investment management in three distinct phases: Select, Control and On-Going Evaluation, to ensure each investment’s objectives support the business and mission needs of the Agency.
