There were 700 PMI members last year. If you don’t know anything about it, spend a few minutes on their website at PMI.org to learn more and get their document “A guide for the Project Management Body of Knowledge.” The PMI is a large and diverse organisation. It hosts or convenes SIGs, which are interest groups. The “Students of Project Management SIG” is one of the PMI’s SIGs. It has a terrible website. It’s only a decade old, and it last year reached 700 members. You can become a PM student and get a discounted membership to the PMI.
