Governance
IRPP is governed by a Board of Directors with legal and fiduciary responsibility for the organization. Decisions about credential programs, training curricula, and the Body of Knowledge are shaped by practitioners.
These practitioners are the IRPP Subject Matter Expert Technical Advisory Committee (SMETAC). Members come from agencies, vendors and consultancies. These are the people who best know how the work is actually performed in the field, and where practices may be changing faster than the credential reflects. SMETAC shapes and informs, all aspects of IRPP, including the BoK, credential programa and training curricula. SMETAC seats are held by people who work at organizations that funded IRPP's formation.
IRPP's independence is written into its Articles of Incorporation. IRPP does not sell consulting services or participate in procurements, and it is not affiliated with any project, program or supplier. SMETAC members disclose their interests and step aside wherever they hold one. The credential program is being built to ISO/IEC 17024, the international requirement for organizations that certify individuals, which requires this separation and that the people who deliver training programs are separate from the people who develop exam content.

SMETAC Members as well as all IRPP credential holders pledge to uphold the following principles:
