Since the beginning of 2026, Pierre Le Manh, President and CEO of the Project Management Institute (PMI), has shared several updates outlining PMI’s global direction and priorities for the years ahead.
A Global Membership Model
A key focus has been the expansion of PMI’s global membership model, now active in more than 40 countries, with plans to extend it to many more during 2026. The initiative aims to offer a more consistent and accessible membership experience worldwide.
AI-Driven Learning
Le Manh also highlighted significant progress in AI-driven learning and digital platforms, including the continued growth of PMI Infinity™ and the increasing adoption of PMI’s AI-focused certification programs.
The Next Evolution of PMI Certifications
Looking ahead, PMI is preparing the next evolution of its certification ecosystem, including updates to the PMP® exam expected in 2026 and new advanced credentials designed for leaders managing complex, high-impact initiatives.
Across these updates, the message is consistent: PMI is committed to empowering project professionals through innovation, continuous learning, and a stronger focus on value-driven project success.
