History

​

IPMA is the world’s first project management association, founded in 1965. Our Member Associations cooperate to help project and programme managers achieve project and business success. Originally started as an international network to exchange project management experiences, the organisation developed into global organisation in the 1970s, organising courses and events. In 1996 the organisation was renamed as IPMA, International Project Management Association, and started its certification activities.
