Professional Associations and Societies:

Project Management Institute (PMI): Making project management indispensable for business results.
Agile Project Leadership Network (APLN) A 501(c)6 non profit organization that is focused on making people great project leaders by focusing on the following:
* Value * Customers * Teams * Individuals * Context * Uncertainty
These ideas are described further in the Declaration of Interdependence, which was written by the founding members of APLN and expresses the values that the group holds with respect to leading projects in today's chaordic world. APLN was founded in 2004 by a group of people who are active in writing about, practicing, and evangelizing the movement towards fast, flexible, customer value driven approaches to leading projects of many types. Although this organization is separate from the Agile Alliance, our intention is to work closely with that group within the software community, but also work with people and companies outside of software and IT to help them become better Project Leaders.
