If you’ve ever thought about leaving the project management profession, don't rush any decision. Here are five things to consider if you’re at a career crossroads.
If the pressures of the job increase and become the norm, it can be easy for project managers to become insensitive to mental wellness issues that could be manifesting in their team—and themselves. It doesn't have to be this way.

Having a clear and intentional mindset when evaluating career choices helps ensure you are making a better-informed decision using those criteria that are most important to you. Take the time to understand the criteria—and use it when you’re faced with your next opportunity.
A career in project management is a marathon, not a sprint. When you are looking for that next contract or opportunity, it’s important to leverage all of your experience and not just focus on the buzzwords of the moment.
Project leaders must leverage evolving automation to create opportunities to deliver strategic value to key stakeholders. Instead of fearing artificial intelligence, we should all embrace it and become even more irreplaceable.
There will be tremendous opportunities for project professionals at all levels (Project, Program and Portfolio) arising from the unprecedented level of funding that are being applied towards Mitigating and Adapting to Climate Change.

We will illustrate the opportunities for working together through some examples from PMI Chapter collaboration in Europe including by conducting Climate Fresk workshops.
Experienced project managers often say, "The success of a project hinges on project planning." On the other hand, for beginners in project management, creating a detailed project plan can be challenging, and many may not grasp the significance of focusing on project planning.
As many organizations now incorporate Agile ways of working to manage projects, there are new roles to be filled. In Scrum, one of those roles is the Product Owner. Does your organization have an unclear role and responsibilities for your Product Owners? Are you a Product Owner who is looking for ways to be more effective and successful in your role? If so, this webinar is for you.
This webinar explores how to think about project management different in a startup, and how startups can effectively employ project management practices in a way that make sense. If you are involved in or contemplating working for a start-up—or you need a more adaptive approach in your current organization—this is a presentation you will want to attend.
As the world is facing a huge gap for 25 million new project management professionals, understanding and promoting the strengths of women and those identifying as women in the profession is critical. Recent data from PMI, presented in March of 2023, indicates that male project managers outnumber female project managers 3:1. Research has shown however that traits like empathy, listening, collaborative and servant leadership, key traits associated with female managers, enhance engagement and collaboration. In this presentation you will learn more about the differences between men and women as managers; the benefits that women bring to projects and organizations; how to improve your boardroom influence with executive presence behaviors; and you will discover tactics that elevate your success as a female project manager.
Diverse Teams are not any more an exception. Along your career you may work on a diverse team. In this webinar we’d like to share some lessons learned, best practices and tips to give you confidence in building and leading diverse project teams.
Today's era of Artificial Intelligence requires new leadership thinking, life-long learning and regenerative models. Leaders who want to succeed in this age should consciously balance the delicate interplay between their "artistic side" comprising of the entire battery of human emotions and the "architect side" comprising of the range of Artificial Intelligence tools to compensate, complement, and conquer our finite nature. Leaders need a framework to consider how they can deploy technology to practice the art of leading, whilst considering the inhibitors that prevent them from leading. This framework will also provide a toolbox to appraise our reliance on Artificial Intelligence to execute such difficult tasks as exercising independent judgment and decision—making - the very activities that impart meaning and raison d'être to the leader's existence.
La performance des grands projets défraie souvent la chronique le plus souvent à cause des dépassements de coût et des retombées en deçà des attentes. En effet, les projets ont tendance à avoir un « comportement » compliqué voire « une vie » difficile. Dans une perspective de systèmes complexes, le comportement d'un projet est l'étude de la manière dont les projets prennent des tournures différentes et complexes entre leur lancement et leur exécution, ou connaissent des déviations systématiques par rapport au plan. Cet exposé met en scène deux personnages clés du récit du comportement des projets. Les Pollyanna ont un penchant pour l'espoir et considèrent que les projets peuvent, contre toute attente, réussir malgré les défis auxquels ils sont confrontés. Ils associent la dérive des projets à des erreurs de gestion plutôt honnêtes, mettent de l’avant « l’erreur » comme la source du mal c’est-à-dire des facteurs tels que les changements à l’envergure, la complexité et l'incertitude. Pour contrer l’erreur, ces sur-optimistes se tournent vers les « best practices » ou les bonnes pratiques de gestion. Les Cassandre ont plutôt un penchant pour le désespoir et avancent que les projets sont voués à la contreperformance. Ils lient la dérive des projets à une distorsion systématique de la pensée logique, pointent du doigt « le biais » comme la source du mal, notamment le sur-optimisme et le mensonge stratégique. Pour en finir avec ce trouble du comportement, ces sur-pessimistes recommandent de « débiaiser » les prévisions des projets. Qui a raison ? Qui a tort ? Dans cet exposé, nous nous basons sur des études de cas de projets pour dépeindre leur performance à travers ces deux lectures comportementales.
