Project Management Journal®
Overview
The Project Management Journal seeks to provide knowledge and explore emerging topics to support PMI members, the wider project profession and help enable project success.
Projects represent a growing proportion of human activity in large, small, private, and public organizations. They are the engine of tomorrow’s innovation, value creation, and strategic change.
Project Management Journal addresses project challenges and opportunities by encouraging the development and application of novel theories, concepts, frameworks, research methods, designs, and teaching case studies. It covers:
- Projects, programs, project portfolios
- Megaprojects
- Project-based organizations, project networks, project business
- The projectification of society
And, it serves audiences in academia and the field:
- Academics and researchers who publish in the journal, as well as cite it in their research
- Students who use the journal in their studies
- Project practitioners who inform project practices through the journal’s research, webinars, videos, summaries, and articles, including Thoughtlets
