Achieving successful project outcomes is especially difficult in environments with extreme resource scarcity. A new PMI-funded study explored this issue, focusing specifically on bricolage—“making do with what is at hand.”
In an effort to reduce costs—and citing technology that can supposedly automate and streamline some tasks—companies might be convinced they can eliminate one or more project manager positions. Here's why that is a horrible idea.
In most organizations, there are plenty of opportunities to reduce the cost of delivering projects—but it requires an enterprise-wide perspective to identify and address the opportunities.
Adopting and evolving a hybrid work model as soon as possible will allow PMs and teams to become comfortable, and for organizational best practices to be developed. But how many organizations are ready for all these changes?
For many organizations, PMOs are still inevitably viewed as an IT-aligned function. That needs to change. When a company's only PMO is within IT, there is never going to be sufficient visibility to ensure that the net value delivery is positive.
What factors improve the odds that project teams will deliver superior project performance? What factors inhibit those performances? Here we explore some power skills, address some disablers, and shatter some common myths.
Is technology now reaching the point where it is advancing for the sake of it, not because anyone actually needs it? Are the organizations that are buying artificial intelligence tools actually going to use them the right way?
Hybrid isn’t coming, it’s already here. And the reason that it is becoming so popular is obvious: It works. That means that organizations must not only embrace the concept, they must ensure that their project delivery environments allow it to be used.
Our webinar Hybrid Project Management: Fit-for-Purpose to Drive Performance explored how the rise of hybrid approaches is playing out in practice today. We received a lot of great questions that we didn’t get a chance to cover, so here we continue the conversation with more valuable insights!
Question: I just heard of a new way to set up management of an organization: holacracy. Is this a tested system? Does it work? My sense is that it means to do away with traditional management as we know it and turn everything over to the employees. Any firm knowledge of it being tried—and being an advantage to an organization?
