 The
extraordinary growth of project management and the
number of practitioners is largely due to the activities
of an active, rapidly growing professional organisation:
The Project Management Institute (PMI). As a non-profit
professional association, the PMI represents members
worldwide who are actively advising the project
management profession.
PMI has 3 types of component
organisations:
- Chapters
, which are geographic-based
components numbering over 200 worldwide.
- Specific Interest Groups (SIGs)
, which provide
members access to peers in similar industries or areas
of interest.
- Colleges
, which help further development and
refine a formal body of knowledge related to project
management.
The
Project Management Institute (PMI®) Melbourne Australia
Chapter is the local representative of PMI - a
non-profit professional association founded in 1969,
with over 250,000 members in over 170 countries and is
the world’s foremost authority for the project
management profession. The PMI is internationally
recognised as the official certifying body for the
project management profession and sets industry
standards, conducts research, and provides education,
