About the PMI Organizational Project Management Community of Practice

The PMI Organizational Project Management Community of Practice targets a newly recognized and still evolving area of project management. It provides a forum for discussion and support for topics on organizational project management (OPM).

OPM ties an organization's projects to its business strategy, ensuring that those projects are not just executed randomly, but rather, supporting business objectives.

The Community

Creates knowledge and learning about the interfaces among projects, programs and portfolios, and how they help businesses achieve their purpose.
Supports professionals interested in understanding the benefits of using projects to execute organizational strategy and achieve business goals.
Shares real-life, real-work experiences and insights between members.

Council Leader: Russ McDowell, PMP
