In 2008, PMI focused on the value of project management.

Project management, after all, isn’t just a set of rules and regulations. Good project management transforms organizations, spurring improved communication, learning and innovation.

PMI’s landmark Researching the Value of Project Management, a three-year, US$2.5 million study, drove this message home and provided a framework to guide PMI’s efforts.

The PMI^® Annual Report 2008 details how PMI embraced value for:

  Ø       Practitioners:  PMI released four updated standards, including the PMBOK^® Guide—Fourth Edition. We also introduced two new credentials, the PMI Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP)^® and the PMI Risk Management (PMI-RMP)^®. And nearly10,000 members attended PMI global congresses, meetings and events.

  Ø       Organizations:  PMI’s improved PathPro^® and OPM3 ProductSuite^® products assisted companies with talent development and organizational maturity, respectively. We also increased our regional development, opening a new office in Mumbai, India’s commercial hub.

Ø       Society:  The PMI Educational Foundation continued its mission of philanthropy. Meanwhile, PMI’s Academic and Educational Products and Services initiative fought the talent gap by encouraging the teaching of project management; the PMI Global Accreditation Council ended the year with 53 accredited degree programs in 22 schools in eight countries.
