Project Management Institute

Project Management Institute (PMI) is the global authority in project management, committed to advancing the project management profession.

We empower project professionals around the globe to excel in project management practices through our growing global community, knowledge sharing, and best-in-class certifications—driving positive change in organizations and communities.

PMI empowers professionals like you to excel in every career stage through world-class learning, gold standard certifications, and an expansive global community.

Whether it’s jumpstarting sustainability initiatives or spearheading the development of your favorite open-world video games, project management is the profession that makes things happen.

Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements. It’s the practice of planning, organizing, and executing the tasks needed to turn a brilliant idea into a tangible product, service, or deliverable.

The Project Professionals Behind Project Management
Project professionals are the people working behind the scenes to bring brilliant projects—like sustainability initiatives and open-world video games—to life. They have the skills, knowledge, and experience to ensure a project achieves its goals.

And while project management is a larger-than-life profession, the skill set it requires is more accessible than you’d think. In fact, if you’ve ever created a schedule, planned a party, or led a group project, you’ve already tapped into your project management potential.

25 million project leaders are needed to meet global demands by 2030.
