Update
COVID-19
Update from PMI®
The rapid outbreak of COVID-19 is presenting an alarming health
crisis. To ensure health and safety, Project Management Institute
has transitioned to a temporary remote work policy for PMI employees,
contractors and third parties for 30 days (effective March 12
through April 12). Decisions regarding other PMI meetings, events
and activities are being made on a case by case basis and will
be communicated to impacted stakeholders as information is available.
Given the dynamic nature and rapidly evolving situation, we are
experiencing a surge in contact volumes. We ask for your patience
if you experience longer than normal wait times. Our service remains
our top priority, and we look forward to supporting you now and
into the future.
