Project Management Institute (PMI)

As the number of projects swell, the pool of credentialed talent is not keeping pace. 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.

For nearly 40 years, PMI advocated on behalf of project professionals around the world. Project Management allows an individual to speak with one common language, no matter their industry, geography, or whether they manage projects, programs or portfolios. This common language steers organizations toward achieving repeatable, predictable results – critical when $12 trillion is being invested in infrastructure and capital projects worldwide over the next 12 months.
