In recognition of World Environment Day, we’ve curated a collection of articles and webinars that highlight how project professionals, industries and PMOs are integrating sustainability into their work. These resources showcase practical approaches, emerging trends, and real-world perspectives.
To better align projects with sustainability and social impact, PMOs should clearly communicate the connections between the project, the organization’s strategy, and stakeholder expectations to the project manager early.

How much do you challenge the directive? If project managers are always going to go along with what they are asked or told to do, then there really isn’t a lot of point in them being there.
As part of the development of the Manifesto for Enterprise Agility, PMI spoke with a range of executive leaders to gather insights on what enterprise agility looks like in practice. Here, Terence Mauri shares how to rethink operating models.
“Done” is one of the most powerful words in agile. It brings closure. It marks progress. It gives us the satisfaction of checking a box and moving on. But what happens when “done” becomes hollow, and the value is nowhere in sight?
Caregiving is adaptive project management in its rawest form. Uncertainty is not the exception; it is the baseline. This practitioner shares how caregiving helped strengthen her PM skills.

In this executive interview, Jeff Leach, co-founder and COO of Adaptivity and former leader at organizations including Accenture and SolutionsIQ, discusses enterprise agility as a holistic organizational capability centered on adaptability, continuous learning and operational responsiveness. He explains that enterprise agility is not simply about agile software practices, but about creating organizations that can pivot quickly, align around shared goals, reduce unnecessary bureaucracy and empower people to solve problems collaboratively. Leach also explores common barriers to agility, including executive misalignment and excessive governance, while highlighting the growing relationship between AI and enterprise agility as organizations seek to speed up the translation of insights into meaningful business outcomes.
Effectively managing teams that are broadly or at least partly contract-based requires a very different management practice. Project managers need to approach their role differently, and look at each stage of the project management project through a different lens. There are different considerations in play and different challenges that need to be managed.
