A growing number of professionals must recognize that it is necessary for us to understand a core driver for this period of change: multiple technologies, which are evolving and bring with them unique capabilities. Is your workforce prepared for the disruptive change we will all face?
Agile has been “going mainstream” for more than a decade, but supporting evidence was more in the eye of the beholder. Maybe now it’s really happening. A new State of Agile report found growing adoption rates outside of software development and documented success in areas such as visibility and alignment.
We can’t just say, “We need to be more agile and less waterfall.” We’re making a recommendation before explaining a problem. Instead, we need to build a shared understanding based on detailed, specific data. Here are a couple examples of how to do it.
Managing conflict is a critical competency for every leader and employee. Unfortunately, many people choose simply to ignore conflict and hope it goes away by itself, thinking that it’s not my call to resolve it. However, conflict is an essential part of growth, especially when there is a need to be innovative and creative, when deadlines are tight, and when the directions are unclear.

Many government organizations are using citizen development with low-code or no-code platforms to digitally transform their services, solve problems and make significant savings. We have put together some tips for government organizations considering citizen development, with a list of some examples of use cases as well as low-code or no-code vendors that have been approved for use by government.
Is hybrid really the dominant approach? Recent surveys have suggested that hybrid is the dominant approach to project delivery. Is that really the case? And should it be the case? Let’s start by recognizing that not everyone has the same understanding of hybrid.
In the latest in our Conversations series, Sam Sibley explores citizen development with Mat Rule.
With some exception, gone are the days of fully defining the project’s scope followed by a comprehensive project plan. So too, however, is the expectation that the goals of a project can simply unfold as time passes. Let’s look at three scenarios…

n this installment of the Discover PMI – Ask Us Anything Series, we will provide an overview of A World of Volunteer Opportunities with PMI! Volunteering is at the heart of the Project Management Institute (PMI). PMI was founded by volunteers in 1969 and individuals have come together ever since to donate their time and talents to the profession. Volunteerism is so important that Volunteer Service Excellence is one of six core values guiding the Institute and states that “volunteers and effective partnerships with staff are the best way to accomplish the Institute’s goals and objectives”.
The domains of waterfall and agile often appear as two solitudes, not overlapping at all. More often they appear to be warring camps, decrying the other and advocating for their preferred way of working. This gets reinforced by the adherents of one practice or the other (often most influenced by which perspective they learned first). One is considered good, the other bad, and there is very little middle space to explore common ground, let along find a potential way of working together. And yet, work together they can. Both strategies have a place, both have a role, and both deliver value. They key is in understanding what each provides, how they are similar and in what important ways they are different, and how commonalities can be found. If you’re stuck in the middle—or you are wondering what all the fuss is about—you won’t want to miss this webinar.
As powerful as humility is, a common misconception is that it's a sign of weakness. Some think that people who are humble behave as if they are inferior to others. As a result, humility is not regarded as a critical skill. But the fact is that there is an incredible amount of courage and strength involved in the practice of humility especially for those in leadership. As a leader in the project management space, it is critical for you to understand that humility is the foundation of great leaders, and the basis for world-class customer service. This webinar will highlight how humility can take your career to heights you may not have imagined.
In the latest in our Conversations on Citizen Development series, Sam Sibley explores citizen development with Mat Rule. Mat Rule, CEO and Founder, Toca, and Sam Sibley, Global Head for Citizen Developer at PMI had a wide-ranging conversation about citizen development, no-code, and how to leverage data for new, innovative ways of working. Mat shares his experience of citizen development and how organizations can use no-code to democratize development and leverage data for new ways of working.
In this webinar we uncover that all problems can be broken down into a few categories, each with their own solution technique. Knowing this assists with quick problem identification and action, which will properly utilize our time and efforts. Likewise, we will review which prevention methods work best for each problem category, and our unique situation. We will understand how to solve problems while maintaining relationships, instead of compromising relationships to solve problems.

As the number of projects in organizations skyrocket, understanding project fundamentals and fostering project management skills have become essential. Leaders have too many projects with too little visibility into them, and they lack the project oversight and delivery competencies to untangle them. In a recent survey with Harvard Business Review, we wanted to look at the current challenges faced by senior leaders when dealing with projects and project management, as well as their expectations for the future. The results, combined with other case studies, will help us better understand how organizations are using projects now, where they are finding success with projects, and where they are struggling. The session will help project managers translate their hands-on know-how up to the leader’s-eye view.
This webinar centres on how the Disciplined Agile Coach (DAC) successfully coaches agile teams utilizing the DA mindset and tool kit.
