What is the Project Management Institute?
The Project Management Institute (PMI) is a professional organization dedicated to the furtherment of the project management as a career and expertise. It offers education and certification as part of its global organization. It is also supported by local chapters of volunteers, such as the Sacramento Valley Chapter, who support our local members with educational and networking offerings.
