The Project Management

Institute Standards-

Setting Process

The Project Management Institute (PMI) Standards-Setting Process was
established initially as Institute policy by a vote of the PMI Board of Direc-
tors at its October 1993 meeting. In March 1998, the PMI Board of Direc-
tors approved modifications to the process. Then in March 1999, it was
modified again to make it consistent with the concurrent change in PMI
governance procedures.

A.1 PMI STANDARDS DOCUMENTS
PMI Standards Documents are those developed or published by PMI that
describe generally accepted practices of project management, specifically:
®
■ A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide).
■ Project Management Body of Knowledge Handbooks.

Additional documents may be added to this list by the PMI Standards
Manager, subject to the advice and consent of the PMI Project Management
Standards Program Member Advisory Group and the PMI Chief Executive
Officer. Standards Documents may be original works published by PMI, or
may be publications by other organizations or individuals. Standards Doc-
uments will be developed in accordance with the Code of Good Practice for
Standardization developed by the International Organization for Stan-
dardization (ISO) and the standards development guidelines established
by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
