• ”There are four types of standards:
▪ De Facto – widely adopted and accepted as best practice
▪ Consortia, or developed by companies
▪ Regulatory, or required by law
▪ Volunteer Consensus
• PMI follows the Volunteer Consensus Standards Process
Hundreds of volunteers worldwide are involved in the four year cycle for the benefit
millions of people worldwide.
