PMBOK Guide clearly uses the abbreviation of PM only for Project Manager not for Project Management, however we can easily find that many people out there use PM both Project Management and Project Manager. Examples from this web site are followed;
- The PM logo at Projectmanagement.com means Project Management
- PMchallenge and PMwars mean Project Manager
- PM Expertise means Project Management
There is no objection PM is one of the key person in project, but this site or in your presentation material PM are not just only for project manager but maybe all project related members, stakeholders, etc.
So, my suggestion is to use one specific acronym for Project Management, if required; for example like PMT, or just use Project Management like PMBOK Guide.

In my company PM is used for Project Manager only. In case we are talking of Project Management, we use no abbreviation

In many place PM is used both Project Manager and Project Management. So, my suggestion is to follow the PMBOK Guide; PM only for Project Manager otherwise write full or use abbreviation with definition to avoid confusion.
