What PMI Bangladesh Chapter does

PMI Bangladesh Chapter is a non-profit professional membership organization established in 2013 as the officially chartered Bangladesh chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI), the global project management association founded in 1969. Headquartered in Mohakhali, Dhaka, the chapter serves project managers, program managers, corporate organizations, and students across Bangladesh through a portfolio of interconnected services: annual membership with access to PMI global standards and certifications (PMP, CAPM, PMI-ACP, PgMP); PDU-earning events, workshops, and volunteering; a structured 4-month mentorship programme with 100+ matched pairs and a 90% completion rate; the annual Bangladesh Project Management Symposium (400+ attendees in 2025, 500+ expected at 2026 awards); the Bangladesh Project Management Awards recognizing IT, construction, social impact, and research excellence; a job board; and recognition programs including the Ten-Year Membership Club (37 members). The chapter operates with a lean staff of 9 supported by 100+ active volunteers and a board drawn from senior project professionals at Prime Bank, BRAC Bank, Banglalink, Grameenphone, Brain Station 23, and the Bangladesh Army.

The chapter does not develop proprietary technology products; its core offering is community platform, knowledge resources, certification guidance, and professional development programs delivered through PMI's global content library (PMBOK Guide, Agile Practice Guide, Standards Library). Its revenue model combines PMI membership fees (set globally with student, individual, and retiree tiers), one-time event registration fees for the symposium (BDT 3,500-5,500, approximately USD 30-45 per attendee), and corporate sponsorships across Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Technology/ATP partner tiers. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: a hybrid of digital channels (website, email, LinkedIn), flagship in-person events at The Westin Dhaka and Radisson Blu Water Garden, academic and corporate outreach programs, and a structured volunteer funnel that doubles as PDU generation and leadership development. The chapter has been recognized regionally with the 2023 Together We Can (PMI South Asia), 2024 High-Performing Chapter First Runner-up (PMI South Asia), 2024 Certificate of Appreciation (PMI Taipei Taiwan), and 2025 PMI Cultural Award at APACLIM2025, and serves a membership base of 1,300+ with 600+ active members as of May 2026.

Regional players

• Bangladesh Computer Society (BCS): Bangladesh's primary professional association for IT professionals; comparable as a non-profit professional membership body operating in the same geography, but focused on IT rather than project management. Many PMI Bangladesh members work in IT and may also hold BCS membership.
• BASIS - Bangladesh Association of Software & Information Services: Bangladesh's leading IT industry association representing software and IT services firms; adjacent peer for the technology-focused segment of PMI Bangladesh's membership, often co-hosting training and professional development events in the same market.
• Institute of Engineers Bangladesh (IEB): Bangladesh-based chartered professional body for engineers with continuing professional education programs and CPD structures; structurally analogous to PMI Bangladesh as a long-standing chartered professional association but for the engineering domain rather than project management.
• Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB): Long-established Bangladesh-based professional body offering chartered certification pathways and CPD programs; structurally analogous as a chartered professional association in Bangladesh but serves accountants rather than project managers.

Direct peers

• PMI Pakistan Chapter: Direct regional peer chapter delivering the same PMI membership, PMP/CAPM certification pathways, and annual event offerings to Pakistani project professionals. Often co-recognized with PMI Bangladesh in South Asia regional awards.
• PMI India Chapter: Largest South Asian PMI chapter, serving Indian project management professionals with the same membership, certification support, mentorship, and annual symposium model as PMI Bangladesh. Direct geographic and structural peer operating under the same PMI global framework.
• PMI Sri Lanka Chapter: Another South Asian PMI chapter operating under the same charter with identical member benefits, PDU programs, and flagship events; competes for the same regional recognition slots and corporate sponsorships as PMI Bangladesh.
• PMI Nepal Chapter: Direct South Asian PMI chapter peer offering the same PMP/CAPM community, mentorship, and symposium model; smaller in scale but structurally identical, often grouped with Bangladesh in regional PMI South Asia programs.

Broad incumbents

• PMI United Arab Emirates Chapter: Larger, more mature PMI chapter with broader corporate sponsorship base and established regional recognition; operates the same membership and certification model but in a wealthier market with larger enterprise memberships, serving as a benchmark for PMI Bangladesh's growth trajectory.
