Advancing the Discipline of
Work Managment
Education, standards, and certifications for the next generation of workflow leaders.
Work Management is the discipline of clarifying, coordinating, and completing work in a predictable, effective, and sustainable way across an organization.
Why Work Management Matters
Modern work has outgrown traditional project management. Today’s teams need clarity, alignment, accountability, and visibility across complex workflows. Yet most organizations lack a unified discipline for how work is planned, executed, tracked, and measured.
The Work Management Institute (WMI) was created to fill that gap—providing the education, standards, and certifications needed to help individuals and organizations operate with greater efficiency and intentionality in the modern workplace.
