The PM's world

same, but the world has changed and
he/she must adapt:
– Globalization
– CSR (corporate social responsibility)
– Competition / coopetition
– Web 2.0
Page 32
The PM's role
Before
– Single project
– OT,OB,OS
Now
– On scope is #1
• BUT scope must be agile
– Portfolio / program management (PgMP)
– Risk & integration

In closing…
A project gets a year late one day at a time.
Good project managers know when not to
manage a project.
All project managers face problems on
Monday mornings – good project managers
are working on next Monday’s problems.
It’s not the hours that count, it’s what you do
in those hours.
Warning: dates in the calendar are closer
than you think.
