PMI for Industrial Automation Project Management
Why a Project Management System?
- A well-defined process prevents excessive program additions and changes from causing delayed schedules and overspent budgets.
- We use the system developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI).
- PMI has over 600,000 members, 300 global chapters, and leads standards development for project management worldwide.
- The PMI system gives us a consistent and predictable approach that ensures projects meet schedule and budget objectives.
What is the PMI Process?
The PMI system includes five process groups. These same steps are used for every project, which establishes consistency and allows continuous improvement.

PLANNING
Project objectives are defined and the best course of action is selected.
