  2. PROJECT MANAGEMENT TRENDS as suggested by PM Experts

  3. 1 Accelerated Shift from Waterfall to Agile Project Management There will be an accelerated shift from Waterfall to Agile Project Management in larger organizations as they realize the only way to deliver on benefits in the increasingly dynamic and complex environment is to learn and adapt quickly. Waterfall Agile

  4. 2 Project Managers will be more of All-rounders Project managers will be more of all-rounders, flexible, strategic, and focus more on the dependencies within the project. There will be more pressure than ever before on project managers from external stakeholders, and they have to be more creative to think out of the box to meet strategic objectives.

  5. 3 Highly Projectized Enterprises Enterprises will be highly projectized with the integration of project thinking to all work processes. With increased remote teams, soft skills will be even more important. Social responsibility and accountability will gain more focus across enterprises globally.

  6. 4 Focus on Change Management As the commercial sector moves towards “agile,” “flexible” working spaces, the ability for a Project Manager to understand and effectively communicate the principles of change management will become almost compulsory. The competitive world of commercial business now dictates that companies provide an “experience” and not just a place to sit and work. The Project Managers role through delivery of these solutions is to assist in providing these experiences and change management is the key skillset required to do so.

  7. 5 Implementation of Agile Project Management With the enterprise-wide implementation of Agile Project Management, even hybrid project management will spread further. And in many organizations, project management roles will be replaced by Scrum Masters.

  8. 6 Effective Communication Effective communication and hand over on a daily basis between cross geographic Agile teams will play a crucial role.

  9. 7 Newer Technologies Newer technologies like Artificial intelligence, Robotic Process Automation, Machine Learning, Virtual Reality (VR), Cloud, Block chain, and Nanotechnology will be more popular in enterprises. The future of Project Managers will depend on having these key experiences as they will be in more demand to handle complex projects down the line.

  10. 8 Internet Of Things (IoT) Internet of Things (IoT) will bring critical and complex data to work with for Project Managers and Team Leaders. Emotional intelligence will be part of their day-to-day activity throughout the project life cycle.

  11. 9 Technology Push Technology Push – As we move toward a paper-less work environment there is an increasing push to move projects to cloud based systems. There are many positives in doing this; real-time connectivity to the project team, “live” instruction and data capture and so on. Thus, the modern age project manager shall be required to understand a number of cloud-based application platforms and be fluent in mainstream providers such as Aconex, Bluebeam, and Procore to name a few.

  12. 10 Appreciation Motivation will no longer be having a steady source of income but will come from appreciation, sense of belongingness, and being valued. Moreover, millennials will constitute a larger slice of the project team in enterprises worldwide.

  13. 11 More is More More is More – The old adage of less is more is certainly out the window moving forward. Increasing competitiveness will dictate the requirement for a Project Manager to provide “something” different, an edge, an added extra. It will simply not be enough for a Project Manager to say they are an “expert” in a field as client’s access to a broader Project Manager market, allowing them a larger field of “experts.” Project Managers in 2019 will need to work on growing their skillsets beyond their area of expertise and look to how they can provide a tailored experience for every client.

  14. 12 Fighting for Competent Resources There will be fierce fighting for competent resources and certified practitioners globally and this, in turn, will shape the portfolios managed by enterprises.

  15. 13 Mega Projects A large number of mega projects will be sanctioned especially in the oil and gas sector. Scaling up would be more in focus in this sector, and the demand for project practitioners will go up drastically.

  16. 14 Focus from Large to Medium Organizations Project Management will gain more focus from large to medium organizations. As per the latest PMI Pulse of the Profession 2018 report, enterprises now only waste 9.9% of every dollar invested, down from 13.5% in 2013.

  17. 15 Greater Demand Greater demand for PMI certified Project Management Professionals (PMP), Program Management Professionals (PgMP), and Portfolio Management Professionals (PfMP) from enterprises globally.

  18. 16 More Investment towards Training and Certification Both SMBs and large MNCs will invest even more in building up their staff with relevant training and certification courses to handle dynamic and challenging projects

  19. 17 Innovative Solutions & Closer Engagement Scope management will no longer mean protecting the original scope drafted in the business plan but coming up with innovative solutions through closer engagement of the design and business teams, to find the path of least resistance to change.

  20. 18 Lens of Delivering Benefits Project success will be judged through the lens of delivering benefits, rather than just the traditional tenets of staying within budget and delivering on time.

  21. 19 Digital Transformation Digital transformation will be the need of the hour for both SMBs and large organizations that will look for a fully integrated solution.
