What is the Project Management Institute (PMI)?

“

- If project management is something that interests you or you want to learn more beyond this course, I highly encourage you to check out the Project Management Institute. PMI.org is a wealth of knowledge, offering additional training, certifications, and even local chapters in your community that meet to help you master project management. This is an excellent worldwide organization and one that can help you immensely. The Project Management Institute has been around since 1969. And while project management hasn't been popular for that long, it certainly is a growing trend in business. Currently, they have more than 3 million members working in every single country on the planet. It's a group that advocates for the project management principles and also encourages collaboration and education between members. They can help you advance your careers as well as improve your success within your own company. What I like about them is they really help mature the profession of project management, putting a lot of effort into research and publications, as well as practical tools that project managers can use. Additionally, they encourage good ethics within the industry. Project management is really the key to most businesses succeeding because there's so much change and innovation happening. And in the world of creativity, projects are what we do every day. Every photo shoot, video, and website is a project. There's different requirements, different deliverables, different contractors and teammates, as well as schedules and budgets that have to be maintained. By learning these concepts and improving upon them, your business will do outstandingly well.
