About PMI??





 

With more than 260,000 members in over 171 countries, PMI is the leading membership association for the project management profession. PMI is actively engaged in advocacy for the profession, setting professional standards, conducting research and providing access to a wealth of information and resources. PMI also promotes career and professional development and offers certification, networking and community involvement opportunities.

For more than 40 years, PMI has advanced the careers of practitioners who make project management indispensable for business results.



Our History

PMI was founded in 1969 by five forward-thinking individuals who understood the value of networking, sharing process information and discussing common project problems. After their first official meeting in October of that year at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, the group officially incorporated the association in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, USA.

PMI has grown to become the global advocate for the project management profession with more than 260,000 members in over 171 countries. And with nearly 260,000 individuals hold the Project Management Professional (PMP®) credential, making it the most widely recognized - and the only global - certification in the profession.
