An experienced business consultant, Josh Vignona offers project management, team leadership, and engagement services to different companies. In line with his career, Josh Vignona is a member of various industry organizations, including the Project Management Institute (PMI).
Founded in 1969, PMI is a nonprofit organization that promotes the interests of project and portfolio managers. With a membership of over 700,000 in 300 chapters globally, it is regarded as one of the largest networks of project managers, serving over five million professionals through 14,000 local chapter volunteers in 180 countries. The organization aims to instill best practices in the industry, provide research and education and provide accreditation services. After accreditation, however, there is a need to maintain the certification.
PMI offers a Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program to continue your training through Professional Development Units (PDUs) as organizations continue to grow while maintaining the accreditation status. The PDUs, due to tentative career engagements, are made up of 60-minute blocks of learning, teaching, or volunteering sessions over three years. Depending on the accreditation, the PDUs range from 30 to 60 sessions. Over the three years, the professional is expected to log the hours on the online Continuing Certification Requirements System.
