What is PMI in Project Management?

PMI stands for the Project Management Institute, and is a not-for-profit professional membership association for project managers and program managers.

The Project Management Institute is the organization that gives out the PMP (Project Management Professional) credential, a globally recognized certificate that assures employers that a person is trained and qualified to manage projects.

PMI is also the organization that oversees the documentation of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) within the PMBOK Guide.
