Many forces “naturally” tend toward complexity. It's far more desirable to keep things simple—but that takes effort. Let's consider simplicity in terms of what we do and how we go about doing it—with practical tips on how to incorporate it into our work.
While this PM wishes we didn’t need International Women’s Day, she's glad we have an opportunity to assess where we are. The world has changed—in many good ways—since she started her career journey...but we still have work to do.
Women are increasingly taking leadership roles in project management with confidence and pride. But despite progress on multiple fronts, they encounter several obstacles. How can we change this?

Isn’t that the equivalent of having diversity?
