Which one is better PMP or ITIL?

Depends upon your experience, industry in which you are working. Both Certifications had importance. Both can co-exist. We can't compare ITIL with PMP, they both have different focus. Which certification to pursue depends on what you want or need to do for your career.

ITIL
PMP
ITIL works for IT Service Management
PMP is for Project Management
ITIL is made for Information Technology directly
Whereas PMP can be for any project
ITIL certification demonstrates your knowledge in the comprehensive set of best practices that are used to develop and execute IT service management. This is specific to the IT industry
PMP is a certification that helps demonstrate your proficiency in Project Management and these skills are not industry/domain specific.
If your work and deliverables are around ensuring value to users and customers, rather than just producing some "good" or "product" for consumption, then ITIL is better.
If your company provides outsourcing services to other countries and your deliverables and work are about the products you produce then PMP is better
ITIL is more oriented to service organization where you will build process for customer support and operations activities. It is very good for operation related and support activities.
PMP Certification is most respected certification in Project Management field. Being PMP certified will help you move your career in Management field also.
ITIL more suited for daily operation work rather than projects.
PMP is bible of project management which can be applied across industries for any project.
If you would like to enhance your career in IT Service Management consider ITIL Path
If you want a certification that demonstrates knowledge in project management consider PMP
ITIL works on your technical fronts
PMP helps you to learn the tactics for driving your  projects towards success

It won’t be thus right to compare PMP with ITIL. The fact is that these two credentials actually complement each other and add considerable credibility to your profile.

Which one do i select PRINCE2 or PMP?


When we start thinking to do some project management related course first question raises in our mind is whether to do PMP or PRINCE2. I hope the below information might help you till some extent.

There is a big difference between PMBOK (PMP) and PRINCE2. PMP is a prescriptive knowledge, while PRINCE2 is descriptive methodology. PMP will talk about HOW to do a project, whereas PRINCE2 talks about WHAT, WHEN, WHOM need to do a project.

These two standards are not competitors,We need both of them to be able to manage projects successfully.In PMBOK Guide 5th Edition it says " This standard is a guide rather than a specific methodology.Once can use different methodologies and tools (e.g. agile, waterfall, PRINCE2) to implement the project management framework." And there's a similar statement in the official PRINCE2 manual,which also mentions the PMBOK Guide.

Most of the time people will try to decide which one is better either PMP or PRINCE2. But, that's a wrong question. None of them replaces the other one.I would suggest you to learn both the methodologies then you will become a perfect project manager who will be able to deal any kind of projects with 99.9999% Success rate with less expenses and less defects.
