Founded in 1969, PMI is the certifying body for professionals in the industry, establishing project management certification guidelines and awarding the prestigious PMP Certificate to candidates who pass the certification exam. The Project Management Institute quite literally wrote the book on project management - the Project Management Book of Knowledge, or PMBOK®, which has become the industry bible posting a circulation of over 2 million copies to date.
With 1 million+ members and credential holders in over 70 countries worldwide, the Project Management Institute (PMI) is the leading professional association in its field. The Project Management Institute also established global standards for the profession, ensuring that a basic framework is applied consistently worldwide. This crucial step made the PMP certificate universally recognized, and opened the door to global opportunities for the certified project management professional.
And the opportunities are plenty. PMI notes on their website "...As the number of projects swell, the pool of credentialed talent is not keeping pace. In the Persian Gulf and China Sea regions alone - where entire cities are being built, seemingly overnight - a shortage of 6 million skilled project professionals is expected by 2013. Add to that the fact that, of the 20 million people participating in projects worldwide, just one million have professionally recognized formal training on how to best execute those projects. One thing becomes clear: The demand for skilled project managers is at a critically urgent level."
