Project Management Trends and New Challenges 2020+

Abstract

This study explores how the discipline of project management is currently approached within organizations and examines how the discipline will need to adapt to remain relevant in an era of constant change and the growth in project-based organizations. The data for this qualitative research study was collected from project management experts who participated in panel discussions at a conference held on 7th of November 2019 in Dublin, Ireland (The PMO Road Show - International Project Management Day). This study is also based on a literature review of project management trends presented in the last three years. Results suggested that in the technology driven world of the future, project managers will require a different set of skills. The study found there is also a significant increase in more successful project outcomes when project teams develop more bespoke hybrid mythologies tailored to unique project environments.
