Project Management and the Economy

For those in the project management profession, the current tough economy is also a time of opportunity. Governments around the world have announced large stimulus packages loaded with new projects. Organizations are turning to project managers to help deliver innovative strategies that can boost the bottom line.

Even the PMO (project management office) is getting a makeover. Once mainly a project regulator, PMOs are becoming more active participants in organizational strategy and the drive for results. But all of this has to be done with less time, fewer people and increased scrutiny.

Project Management and the Economy is your hub for resources on the profession and the turbulent economy. Check back often for information on everything from how to remain professionally competitive to regional economic spotlights.

E-mail your thoughts to Economy@pmi.org. Tell us what have you experienced and what are you learning about work, challenge and opportunity in the current economy.
