It's not a trait we often hear as essential for project managers. But courage is an essential characteristic for virtually every leader if they are going to reach their full potential.
A project that looks suspiciously smooth for an extended stretch deserves scrutiny, not comfort. Here are some warning signs to look out for—and how to get the project back on track.
As organizations invest more in functions like organizational change management and enterprise architecture, there is growing recognition that operations cannot be viewed in isolation. But that hasn’t yet become widely accepted from a strategy standpoint.
It seems as though AI developers are trying to make users so reliant on AI that they look past their reservations. That’s where the true risk is, and where project managers need to push back.
Finding information is no longer the obstacle it once was for many project managers. The more difficult challenge is determining which information matters, what it means, and what should be done with it.

Do you empower others on your team to take point on creating clarity without overstepping and taking over? You might be like Sue the Scaler, the last of the five ambiguity personas in our series.
You probably use AI for task-level improvements. But your greater opportunity is to use it to manage the entire flow of project information: from meeting to analysis to stakeholder communication to leadership action. Here's how.
If you want to embrace new ways of working, create new options for delivering projects, or enhance the project delivery environment, then you have to actually explore some of those different approaches. Here's how a gamble for one company paid off.
Governance has a bad reputation. Is it any wonder that it is seen as a hindrance to project success? But governance isn’t really the issue…you're confusing it with bureaucracy.
When driving clarity decisions, are you clear on who gets a vote, and who doesn’t need to be in the room? If you have a reputation for cutting through the ambiguity noise, you might be like Diane the Driver.
In recent years, we have become exceptionally good at replacing planned communication with technology. What we may not have noticed at the time was the gradual disappearance of the conversations we never planned to have.
Knowing how project management works and knowing how to be a project manager aren't quite the same thing. The PMI Greece Chapter has been finding ways to help students bridge that gap.
Your past experiences help you manage your next project. But should it be that way? Or should we spend a little more time looking forward, adapting to a changing world and seeking out new and different ways of working?

AI is quickly changing how project professionals draft reports, analyze risks, summarize meetings, and communicate with stakeholders. But the real leadership challenge is not simply learning a new tool. It is knowing which parts of the project work can be safely supported by AI, and which decisions must remain firmly in human hands.
An insightful webinar exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming project management
High-risk projects rarely fail because leaders lack intelligence, experience, or data. They fail because critical information becomes distorted as it moves through organizations under pressure. Schedule urgency, optimism bias, authority gradients, and reputational concerns create what I call delivery noise: the gradual distortion of decision-relevant information before it reaches decision-makers.
Explore PMI-sponsored research and practical approaches for leveraging team diversity to strengthen collaboration, adaptability, and project performance.
This webinar confronts a challenge that occurs frequently, but is honestly addressed all too rarely. Projects are often saddled with unreasonable and impossible expectations at the outset, with little practical consideration of what is required in order to be able to succeed. In the face of these challenges, project managers struggle to make sense of what is real, what is possible and what is practical.
This webinar explores how Lean Six Sigma practices can be effectively integrated into agile environments to maximize customer value. Focusing on the Voice of the Customer, the session highlights methods for capturing and integrating customer feedback throughout agile project cycles.
