In my personal opinion, PMI is out of fashion but they have very clever people and I think they are doing things on the matter. In my case, being member of the PMI, help me to interact with people in sites like this site which helps me a lot on learn and improve myself. All the other things, as I mentioned, are out of fashion. Saving Changes...
