The Happier, Healthier, and Wealthier PM: Just-In-Time Learning to Upskill for a Successful Project Career – Johnson

Abstract: Project Managers are being asked to do more than manage delivery within constraints. The level of uncertainty due to rapid change means that short planning cycles are driving business-level concerns into the project and even subproject domain to rapidly sense and adapt to changing markets or customer demands. This means that project managers must learn new skills and PMI is already addressing that in its refresh of the PMBoK and its principles-based approach.  As challenging as this is, our delivery domains as project managers are also experiencing the same disruption and turbulence. Our functional experts must reskill and upskill to meet the demands of the digital age.
