Project Management Institute (PMI) welcomes Agile Alliance

Project Management Institute (PMI), a leading authority for project management professionals, has announced an agreement through which Agile Alliance® joins PMI. Agile Alliance is a global non-profit membership organization founded in 2001 by some of the original authors of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development (“the manifesto”).

This partnership strengthens the project management profession by expanding access to agile resources, broadening skill sets, and fostering a flexible mindset.

“We believe successful projects are the key to changing the world. The Agile movement has significantly influenced project management and product development, with its principles extending well beyond the Tech industry and software development,” said Pierre Le Manh, PMP, President & CEO of PMI. “Proper project management requires mastery of multiple approaches that can be combined according to the context. PMI and Agile Alliance have collaborated for several years, including on the Agile Practice Guide. As Agile Alliance sought ways to increase its global impact, PMI was a natural partner to provide the resources needed for this new phase of development. Together, we will broaden the understanding of Agile and agility, inspire diverse thinking, and empower the profession to achieve greater project success.”

Building on this shared vision, Foster adds, “Our mission has always been to advance Agile as a mindset and spread Agile principles and values. By joining forces with PMI, we’re expanding our ability to support practitioners, create new resources, and foster a more flexible and innovative community.”

Key Benefits of the Partnership:

  • Expanded Access to Agile Resources: PMI members will gain expanded access to agile thought leadership, tools, and resources, enhancing their professional development and enabling greater project success.
  • Broadened Skill Sets: The partnership will broaden the project management profession’s skill sets by integrating agile principles and practices.
  • Fostering a Flexible Mindset: This collaboration will foster a flexible mindset within the project management community, enabling professionals to adapt to the evolving needs of modern project delivery.

Agile Alliance will maintain its membership structure and elected Board, continuing its core mission and values while championing agility and the values and principles of the manifesto. Agile Alliance members will retain access to the resources, events, and connections they value, now augmented by PMI’s expanded opportunities.

This agreement builds on a long-standing relationship between PMI and Agile Alliance, which includes their collaboration on the Agile Practice Guide—a publication offering tools, situational guidelines, and insights into various agile approaches.
