PMHUB is a free (not for profit) virtual community of professional project managers, who recognise the Project Management Institute's Project Management Body of Knowledge (or briefly PMBOK) project management standard. Whilst a number of the members have already earned their PMP (Project Management Professional) certification, the majority of the community consists of those who aspire to become PMP or CAPM-certified.
