Project Management Institute (PMI) www.pmi.org

The PMI is a globally recognized leader of the Project Management Profession, providing global professional standards, training and education, certification, community, thought leadership, and academic research on project management.

 

Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK):

The PMBOK is published by the PMI to provide a guide and standard for project management. The most recent edition of the PMBOK has a different approach than earlier editions. The PMBOK 6th and earlier editions focused primarily on the technical processes, inputs, tools & techniques, and outputs for project management and were geared towards project managers. The latest edition, PMBOK 7th Edition, is instead geared towards project teams and outcomes and focuses more on skills and resources needed for successful project delivery. Given the very different approaches in these guides, we recommend referencing both of the most recent editions.
