Project Management Institute
All strategic change in an organization
is driven through projects and programs
and as a result, successful project and
program management is key to maintaining
an organization’s competitive advantage.
As the world's leading not-for-profit
professional membership association for
project, program and portfolio managers,
Project Management Institute (PMI) is
committed to helping organizations realize
maximum benefit from their projects and
programs, and dedicated to the continuing
advancement of the project management
profession.
Over the past four decades, PMI’s
publications, certifications, tools, academic
research, events, and networking and
professional development opportunities have
enabled project practitioners to excel in their
field, bring real value to their organizations,
and make project management indispensable
for business results across various industries
and around the globe. Our standards for
project, program and portfolio management
are the most widely recognized in the
profession, and are increasingly used as a
model for project management in business
and government.
Good luck PMI Karachi Pakistan Chapter.
