Pmi Serbia Chapter

What Pmi Serbia Chapter does

PMI Serbia Chapter is a not-for-profit membership association established in 2001 as a local chapter of the global Project Management Institute (PMI), headquartered in New Belgrade, Serbia. It serves approximately 450 Serbian project management professionals drawn from finance, banking, IT, construction, telecommunications, healthcare, education, science, and public administration. Its core offerings consist of structured professional development programs (Continuous Learning Program, Mentorship Program), PM certification information and exam-center coordination, an AIxPM initiative producing case studies on artificial intelligence applications in project management, and annual conferences including the Project Society Conference (250+ attendees) and the Project Academic Conference co-organized with the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad. The chapter is governed by an elected Board of Directors (8 members as of the 2024 restructuring) led by President Branislav Zobenica and Vice President Vladimir Rašović, with day-to-day operations executed by volunteers.

The chapter's underlying technology stack is light: it uses HubSpot CMS for the public website (pmi-serbia.rs), Atlassian Service Desk for volunteer applications and contact submissions, Mailchimp for newsletters, and standard social platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram). Its distinctive technical initiative is the AIxPM Team, established in 2024 as one of the first PMI chapter AI teams in Europe, which publishes case studies and frameworks on AI-driven risk management, sprint summarization, retrospective synthesis, and process automation for project managers.

From a business-model perspective, PMI Serbia Chapter is funded primarily through its share of PMI global membership fees (members enroll via PMI.org and select Serbia as their local chapter; student PMI membership is $32/year), supplemented by nominal non-member program fees (RSD 1,500 for Continuous Learning, RSD 1,000 per workshop session) and conference sponsorship. The chapter does not have external investors, has not raised funding, and operates without disclosed paid headcount beyond the volunteer board. It is a member-supported community with no traditional equity, no M&A pathway, and no exit value to investors — relevance to a PE/VC/M&A audience is limited, but the organization functions as a stable, growing professional community with expanding programmatic surface area.
