Our purpose is to maximize project success to elevate our world

Our purpose is more than a statement. It's our reason for being and the force that guides everything we do. The world needs more projects to succeed. We need Project Professionals to take ownership of project success and successful implementation of critical projects. And we believe we have the unique ability to help. Together, we can impact our world through project success.

Defining our Purpose

We answered one simple question: how can we leverage our superpowers to impact the world?

Our community is our superpower. With our strong heritage as the first and largest global organization for project professionals, our community inspires, connects and empowers people to get things done.

And the world needs meaningful change. For every great idea, there needs to be a plan for action—and one that can adjust to deliver, despite inevitable change.

We help current and aspiring project professionals build their skills so they are equipped to solve the toughest challenges now facing people, organizations and the planet.
