While at a symposium, one of the workshop leaders asked a very interesting series of question and I thought I would do the same here and compare the results.

1. What is the biggest project management challenge today?

2. What will be the biggest project management challenge in three years?

3. What will be the biggest project management challenge in five years?

Replying to Stéphane Parent

...

In most organizations I've known, government or private, project management is the purview of the IT organization. The IT organization is in charge of training, offering and managing the project managers called to work across the organization. In effect, the IT organization has the PMO.

I have yet to see an organization where the CEO felt that project management was a tactical, let alone strategic, advantage for their organization. For example, I see organizations that have to manage large events but because it is not an "IT project" they don't use the services of a project manager.

No doubt .. for an IT project, the IT department or the IT organization are the most qualified (or the most suitable) to manage the project but in a non IT project, the role of IT will be for providing the necessary software and to establish and maintain the computer aided systems. For large organizations I am of the idea that a separate department is assigned for project management. In my case, I am doing ship building project management. I would prefer that the product owner who is the end user (ship owner or ship operator) do all stages of the project till the project charter is signed then the project manager and the rest of the project team takes it from there.
