You have likely come across a SWOT analysis, which maps strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. This template applies the SWOT concept to your career development plans to help you build on strengths, address areas of weakness, leverage opportunities and monitor threats.
You may be the most brilliant project manager out there, but it doesn't count for much if it comes at the expense of everything else. You are more likely to establish a sustainable, long-term PM career when you can balance your life with your work. This workbook allows you to leverage agile principles to do that. Use in conjunction with the Agile Your Life webinar.
To help you think through each of the sustainable PM drivers and how they apply to you, use this template to assess yourself and develop your plan for becoming a sustainable PM. Use in conjunction with the article Becoming a Sustainable Project Manager.
Taking time to reflect on ways you have integrated your PM skills into your day-to-day life can be an invaluable exercise. The more consciously you are aware of your competencies, the more successful you may be in your PM career—and your life journey. Use this simple worksheet as a starting point and in conjunction with the article Applying PM Skills to Day-to-Day Life.
How content you are in your current and future career potential? With your physical and mental health? With your current and future financial status? This assessment will help you think through areas in your life that are most important to you—and develop a practical and sustainable purpose statement to guide you when to say "yes" to some things and "no" to others. Use in conjunction with the blog "Your North Star – Creating a Practical and Sustainable Purpose Statement."
AI should be used to amplify our skills and experience. Instead, it is too often being used as a replacement. Not supplementing our skills and experience, but substituting them for its own version of the truth.
Ignoring career development with your organization's talent is like ignoring a persistent and long-lasting body pain after a workout. It may not seem like a problem until it becomes one.
How do you advance your career if the roles you aspire to are undefined? Your tactics must show you have the newly prioritized skills—and get this information to those who can influence your career.
Many experienced PMs are now operating in an environment that bears very little resemblance to the one that they were trained in. And that can be disconcerting.
Question: A new PMP® exam is here. The head of our PMO asked me to see if it would have any effect on how we train our people to sit for the exam. Also, does it foretell any changes we may need to make in the way we do business? I’m concerned that there may be new information or alterations in the way existing employees, whether PMPs or not, should be conducting the day-to-day business of our organization if we want to stay competitive?
The role of the project manager continues to evolve, and it’s hard to nail down exactly will be needed as time moves forward. But business acumen and sustainability are becoming essential parts of our occupational evolution.
Project managers are no stranger to feedback. Some of it is positive, some more constructive. But how can we take what we hear and actually do something about it? Keep these seven tips in mind.
PMs need to connect delivery to higher business goals. Knowledge of your organization’s business strategy shapes how you facilitate decisions and communicate alignment. Fortunately, you can build this capability without formal training.

Business acumen can feel abstract. We see it in job descriptions, but what does it actually look like? Here are seven easy ways to demonstrate business acumen every day.
