Within most project management organizations a number of Specific Interest Groups (SIGs) have been established to serve the needs of a particular project management environment. In the spirit of project management search for knowledge these SIG's explore a particular environment to reveal practices and know how that will benefit practitioners in the field of interest. A SIG is a Community of Practice, that is, a group of people who form around a PM topic/domain to share ideas, information, and lessons learned; learn together and evolve the knowledge, create and manage tools, techniques, as well as the process of the PM domain.
