Helpful resources to support your volunteering
Project Management in NGOs
Since 2008, the PMI Mumbai Chapter has been helping to build the capacity of grassroots non-governmental organizations (NGOs) through project management training.
To date, they’ve trained more than 85 employees from at least 37 organizations. Members of the chapter created a training course utilizing a variety of resources, one of which was PMIEF’s PM Skills for Life®. These members shared this resource with PMIEF, making this course accessible for the general public on PMIEF.org.
Project Management Skills for Life®
Project Management Skills for Life® is a guide that provides an introduction to the basics of project management as well as tools and techniques to help develop skills to become a great project manager leading successful projects.
Tower Game
The Tower Game is a fun project management exercise that can be used by students of all ages, as well as adults.
The game teaches participants to consider time, cost, quality and risk. The game can be used as an ‘ice breaker’, a stand-alone exercise or as part of a class. Watch the fun video below to learn how Pablo Lledo, PMIEF Board Chair, uses the Tower Game resource to teach his kids the importance of project management.
