Enjoy complimentary access to new communities of practice
Are you looking for tools and techniques to apply to your next project? Do you have experiences and resources that would benefit other project practitioners? Then get involved with PMI’s new communities of practice.

Communities of practice are knowledge-driven websites that explore specific aspects of project management. They are your new source on the web to share thoughts, ideas and expertise through blogs, wikis, discussion boards, shared document areas and opinion polls.

For a limited time, all 300,000+ PMI members will automatically have complimentary access to all the communities of practice. This provides a great opportunity to explore and participate in communities that may interest you.

To access the communities: 

  • Visit PMI.org and log in with your PMI.org username and password 
  • Click on the new section labeled “Communities” 
  • Follow the links to the communities of practice 
  • Click on the name of the community you wish to access 
  • Take advantage of this limited-time access to share your knowledge and insight, and benefit from the advice and experience of a global virtual community of PMI members.
If you have questions regarding communities of practice, contact customercare@pmi.org.

Attached is a Power Point Presentation which includes a breif overview.

PMI Core Values

At PMI we believe in:

Project Management Impact
Project management is a critical competence that has a positive influence on organization results and society.

Professionalism 
Accountability and ethical behavior ensures our commitment to PMI stakeholders.

Volunteerism
Volunteers and effective volunteer partnerships with staff are the best way to accomplish the Institute’s goals and objectives.

Community 
Bringing members of the global project management community together is the best way to advance the project management profession and facilitate their growth.

Engagement
Encouraging diverse viewpoints and enabling individuals to contribute to the project management profession and to the Institute. 


New Continuing Certification Requirements System (CCRS) Now in Use 

PMI has replaced the system that manages data and processes for the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) and the R.E.P. programs with a new solution developed and maintained by PMI. The new CCR System is expected to deliver a more seamless customer experience for credential holders, and strengthen PMI relationships with its education providers – both PMI communities and R.E.P.s.

The CCR System will provide the following benefits—

Credential holders will find it simpler and more efficient to: 

Select activities (courses/events) 
Report PDUs 
View transcripts 
Maintain multiple credentials 
Education providers will have new and improved online abilities to: 

Add and edit activities (courses/events) 
Register activities for PDU eligibility 
Change activity dates and descriptions 
The new CCR System provides an easy-to-use graphical interface as the entry point for credential holders and education providers. Locating and entering information is intuitive, and can be done quickly and easily, and transactions will be easier to accomplish. 


Please make sure that all component events for which members can claim PDUs are entered into the system as soon as possible. This will help alleviate members trying to claim PDUs for an event that is not in the system.

Access to the system will be available through http://www.pmi.org by using a registered PMI username and password. If you plan to use the CCR System and are not registered on PMI.org, please log in to http://www.pmi.org and create a registered user account. 

A list of additional Frequently Asked Questions about the new Continuing Certification Requirements System can be found on the Announcement section of the Community Leadership Online Community.
