PM Times

What PM Times does

PM Times is a Canada-based digital media platform serving project management and business analysis professionals. The platform publishes a content library of more than 2,300 articles, hosts live and on-demand webinars, distributes free downloadable templates and whitepapers, runs a community discussion forum, maintains a job board listing thousands of PM/BA positions, and operates an online bookstore of PM/BA titles. It also runs the ProjectWorld and ProjectSummit in-person conferences held in Chicago, Boston, and Vancouver, and supports PDU/CDU claiming for certification maintenance. The site is operated alongside the sister platform BA Times under Macgregor Communications.

The underlying technology is a standard web-based content management and publishing stack hosted at projecttimes.com, with no disclosed proprietary platform, AI features, APIs, or SDKs. Distribution relies on organic SEO-driven web traffic, a weekly email newsletter, webinar registrations, community participation, and in-person events. Editorial operations are led by Amy Ruddell as Editor in Chief and Raejhon Dawkins as Editor, with digital sales handled by Bob Macgregor.

PM Times monetizes through B2B advertising (banner ads, e-newsletters, microsites, whitepaper sponsorships, and a vendor/solution provider directory) and through event sponsorships and registrations at its three annual conferences. End-user access is freemium: registration is free and unlocks articles, webinars, templates, whitepapers, discussions, and the weekly newsletter. The platform serves two customer segments — individual PM/BA practitioners (free users) and B2B solution providers and advertisers (paying customers) — and maintains content partnerships with PMI and IIBA to align with certification frameworks.
