The Project Management Institute (PMI)

As you'll see below, PMI and ProjectManagement.com have a lot of overlap, and many of their links direct between resources on both sites. But PMI is a huge organization for project management on its own and provides resources such as:

• The PM Network, a publication that includes, among other things, lists and discussions of a wide variety of influential projects from many different fields and areas of interest.


• The Projectified Podcast, which describes itself as "a forward-looking series of conversations about hot topics and emerging trends impacting the world of project managers". All episodes are free to download!


• PMI's own official Youtube Channel, featuring everything from examples of influential projects to interviews with experts to news and updated about what's changing in project management.


• The News for Project Managers page (which is currently under repair - but please check this link and see if it has been updated yet!)

ProjectManagement.com, a part of the Project Management Institute (PMI) group:

This site has a variety of valuable resources to help you keep current with PM, from blogs to trainings to professional mentors, including:
