Research Program

The PMI Research Program, formed in 1997, works to advance the discipline and profession of project management. Since then, PMI has invested more than US $18 million in project management research.

The research program is an essential part of PMI's mission to make project management indispensable for business results. We believe that academic research informs the practice of project management and that the real-world application of its results sparks further research.

The program creates new knowledge through research projects, conference papers, symposia and poster presentations, as well as through the survey links program.

It then dispenses knowledge through research publications, academic journals, research and education conferences, and research working sessions.
