There is widespread consensus about their value and usefulness. Attaining approval from ANSI last year as a Standards Development Organization, substantiated the established process that PMI follows in development of project management standards. ANSI is a private, nonprofit membership organization that coordinates the U.S. voluntary standards system, bringing together interests from the private and public sectors to develop voluntary standards for a wide array of U.S. industries. Its mission is to enhance U.S. global competitiveness and the American way of life by promoting, facilitating, and safeguarding the integrity of the voluntary standardization system. As PMI increases global visibility, standardization issues continue to grow more complex.
Standards are critical to the survival of companies marketing to multiple nations.
The over 200 percent growth in membership of PMI in the past three years attests to the increased recognition of project management as a profession. All rights reserved.
