About the PMI Western Australia Chapter
History
The Project Management Institute (PMI®) was founded in 1969 and has grown to be the organization of choice for project management professionalism. With more than 700,000 members and over 300 chartered chapters internationally across 215 countries and territories, PMI® is the leading non-profit professional association in the area of Project Management. PMI establishes new Project Management standards, benchmarks, provides seminars, educational programs and professional certification that more organisations desire for their project leaders
There are well over 1,500,000 certified Project Management Professionals (PMP®) across the world. PMI’s Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification is the most widely recognized in the profession. For more than 50 years, PMI has advanced the careers of practitioners who have made project management indispensable in achieving business results.
Early in 2001, a group of Project Managers, felt there was a strong need for a Western Australian chapter of PMI to promote Project Management best practice and PMI in Western Australia. Following a successful PMI WA launch meeting in November 2001, the chapter was chartered in December 2001, with 28 members. Today we have more than 640 members!

Core Values
PMI is driven by a clear mission and an underlying set of values that drive how we act and influence the expectations of our stakeholders. Even as a diverse organization, we share a common set of values. Our core values are not subject to changes in the association and business environment or dictated by trends in organization management. These values are fundamental and deeply held.
PMI members have determined that honesty, responsibility, respect, and fairness are the values that drive ethical conduct for the project management profession. PMI’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct applies those values to the real-life practice of Project Management, where the best outcome is the most ethical one.
All PMI members, volunteers, certification holders, and certification applicants must comply with the Code.
Responsibility is our duty to take ownership for the decisions we make or fail to make, the actions we take or fail to take, and the consequences that result.
Respect is our duty to show a high regard for ourselves, others, and the resources entrusted to us. Resources entrusted to us may include people, money, reputation, the safety of others, and natural or environmental resources. An environment of respect engenders trust, confidence, and performance excellence by fostering cooperation—an environment where diverse perspectives and views are encouraged and valued.Responsibility is our duty to take ownership for the decisions we make or fail to make, the actions we take or fail to take, and the consequences that result.
Fairness is our duty to make decisions and act impartially and objectively. Our conduct must be free from competing self-interest, prejudice, and favoritism.
Honesty is our duty to understand the truth and act in a truthful manner both in our communications and in our conduct.
