About the PMI

With more than half a million members and credential holders in over 170 countries, PMI is the leading membership association for the project management profession. Founded in 1969 by working project managers, the primary goal of the PMI is to advance the practice, science and profession of project management throughout the world in a conscientious and proactive manner so that organizations everywhere will embrace, value and utilize project management and then attribute their successes to it.
