UPDATED MAY 2020 - This blog will appear monthly from now on. Today, all organizations depend on technological innovation in order to sustain their existence. Analysis of emerging technologies and identification of those technologies with the greatest potential is essential to being prepared for upcoming projects. The objective of this blog is to establish future oriented technology analysis and insights. This blog was established to provide program and project managers with information about these emerging technologies. These emerging technologies have far reaching repercussions for program and project managers. This blog will jump-start the learning process and allow program and project managers to become proactive.

BREAKING NEWS - Project Management

linkedin twitter facebook Request to reuse this  

Recently, it was reported that  "Gartner predicts that by 2023, 20% of organizations will be budgeting for quantum computing projects, compared to less than 1% today."  I also polled professionals on this site and found that 42% expressed interest in this subject matter, 47% said the might be interested and only 11% said they would not be interested.  In addressing the quantum computing development, I will be delivering a webinar on this vast emerging technology subject via projectmanagement.com.  See below.

WEBINAR 

Preparing Project Managers for Quantum Technology Projects

Jul 25, 2019 11:00 AM EDT (UTC-4)

PREMIUM WEBINAR

We have witnessed the dawn of a new era of advancing technology. In the mid-1990s, fundamental research exploded and placed the foundation for advancement as well as the commercialization of products. That was history and now the creation of another technology race, somewhat like what we experienced during the Internet era, but moving faster and larger in terms of potential $$$ dollars. Quantum technology has created a global race that has resulted in multiple commercial product lines that have already begun to see real-world business application. The forecasted culmination of just three areas of quantum technology could grow by 4 or 5 times by 2025. It sure looks like a sci-fi flick! Gartner projects that by 2023, 20% of organizations will be budgeting from quantum computing projects. Time to get ready.

Quantum Computing Revisited

In an email from MIT, they wrote: 

"There's no denying it.

Quantum Computing (QC) is close to realizing its potential of having a substantial impact across industries. In fact, Gartner's "Top 10 Technology Trends for 2019" report predicts that by 2023, 20% of organizations will be budgeting for quantum computing projects."

Are you ready to manage a quantum computing project?

UPDATED:

Another quantum computing authority has aligned with the aggressive commercialization.  IBM recently said, "The global vice president at IBM told the opening session of IBM's think Summit Taipei that IBM will have the first commercialized quantum computers available in 3-5 years."

Technical Program Manager - Hot Job!

Categories: Emerging Technologies

CNBC ‘make it’ - recently published an article (May 4, 2019) titled, "The 10 highest-paying jobs in tech." The link is provided below.  It is an interesting read for sure.  The most interesting portion of the article is the 7th highest-paying job!  They identified "Technical program manager" (TPM) as number seven with the average salary of $145,000 that is based on open positions/roles listed on the Glassdoor website. 

Clearly, this serves to solidify the need for the webinars that cover emerging technologies and clearly substantiates the need for continually monitoring emerging technologies (as we do here on this blog) in order for a PMs to gain knowledge and skills that will serve to differentiate them from general PMs that  seek positions like this. As your knowledge, skills and experience increase over time, your fair market value increases.  With estimates of trillions of $$$ of emerging technology in market value, it is easy to see how the demand will undoubtedly grow for the next several years.
