The demand for project management is expected to grow in 2023 and beyond. As businesses strive to remain competitive, they are taking on more complex projects that require a high degree of planning, organisation, and coordination. This is driving the need for skilled project managers who can oversee these initiatives and ensure they are completed on time and within budget.
With the rapid pace of technological change, businesses are increasingly focused on innovation and developing new products and services. This requires a strong project management approach to ensure that new ideas are effectively developed, tested, and launched.
As more companies expand their operations globally and allow employees to work remotely, project managers need to be able to coordinate and communicate with teams across different time zones and locations. This requires strong project management skills, including effective communication, collaboration, and leadership.
According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), the project management profession is expected to grow by USD 6.6 trillion globally between 2020 and 2030, creating demand for nearly 9.7 million new project management roles.
The PMI's 2020 Pulse of the Profession report found that organisations that invest in project management training and development have a 31% higher success rate in meeting project goals and a 43% lower rate of project failure.
"Project management is not just about following a set of rules, it's about understanding the unique needs of each project and using the right tools and techniques to achieve success."
Project management trends are the new and emerging practices, methodologies, and tools that are currently being used or are gaining popularity in the field of project management. These trends are often driven by changes in technology, business practices, and societal norms, as well as by the need to adapt to new challenges and opportunities.
