What is Project Management?
Great ideas don't make themselves. It starts with projects—temporary efforts to achieve a goal. Projects drive change in every industry today, and project management is the skillset that leads projects to success.
30 million new Project Professionals are needed to meet global talent demands by 2035.
More relevant than ever
Organizations rely on projects to adapt, innovate, and deliver change. Today — due to technology advances, globalization, and disruption — demand for Project Professionals is higher than ever before.
A role that drives outcomes
Project managers turn strategy into action by coordinating people, priorities and resources to drive successful projects from initiation to completion.
Vision + execution
Strong project managers combine strategic thinking with practical execution skills. They use business acumen, people skills, and knowledge of ways of working to develop plans, keep teams on-task, and overcome challenges.
Transferable to any industry
The world runs on projects — and we use them in every part of our lives. Project management grows career possibilities as a set of skills that applies across industries, from transport to tech, sales to social impact, and more.

PMI has provided me with a network of like-minded, passionate project management professionals with whom I can share my ideas. I love being a part of the PMI Next Gen Insight Team as I see it as a wonderful opportunity through which I can champion the work readiness and skill development of young project management professionals.
PMI allowed me early on in my career to understand that there was a group that had the tools and the resources and the support that I needed in order to continue to develop my career. It was a place where I was able to pick the brains of multiple people across the industry.
PMI helps me to work collaboratively with different professionals around the world who seek fairer and more equitable opportunities for everybody. PMI allows me to develop and improve my leadership skills and broaden my perspectives in order to make a positive impact in my country and Latin America.
