Why would a student want to join the Project Management Institute and the Students of PM
Specific Interest Group? The most common answers are:
-
Access to PMI's
publications.
-
Access to PMI's Library,
The Jim Snyder Knowledge & Wisdom Center
-
Sharing ideas, "best
practices" and asking advice from "seasoned" PM practitioners to a
peer group.
-
It's a Competitive Edge
for the Student seeking employment in the PM discipline.
-
It's an advantage to
belong to the premier project management organization in the world.
-
Students are exposed to
"best practices" through the PMI publications and the SIG.
-
It's almost the same
price if you just bought the current issue of the PMbok®!
The
last answer rings especially true if the PMbok® guide is a required
textbook in your PM course. The price is $49.95 for the
paperback issue (Non-Member price). The price of a student membership and belonging
to the SIG is $50.00 (As part of the membership dues, you have access to
the PMbok® guide and a host of other publication materials!) thus
justifying the cost of membership instead of buying the book outright.
Second year renewal costs the same as the book! |
