Welcome to the project management wiki!

This Project Management Wiki has information about standard project management processes and concepts. It is primarily based on the methodology defined by the Project Management Institute (PMI). This wiki also has links to other sites with more information, templates, and additional useful information.

As a wiki, this site can be edited by viewers. Please feel free to edit it to add potentially useful content. (Many of the articles are incomplete. They could use your contributions. The incomplete articles are in the article stubs category. Unrelated content and advertisements with no context will be removed.)

If you create an ID and login, you will see fewer ads. The rest of this page has links that may help you get started. You can also search for a term by clicking on the magnifying glass image in the upper right.

Note: This wiki was originally created for use by the ImtechICT commercial training guide for new graduates.

Professional organizations

PMI

The Project Management Institute (PMI^®), is one of the professional organizations that provides accreditation for project management professionals. According to PMI, each of the 49 PMI project management processes are organized into five groups of processes and ten knowledge areas for a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) to know and use. These processes and knowledge areas are defined in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^® Guide). The PMBOK guide is currently (2018) in its 6th edition. This site requires some updating to match the changes from the 5th to the 6th versions.

Other Professional Organizations

Other project management methodologies have different terms and ways of organizing the activities and information. See PRINCE2 or PM organizations. (More to be added in the future.)
