    29.8M

    That’s how many project managers the world will be short of by 2035.

    PMI first flagged the talent gap in 2017. The number was 22M then. By 2021 it grew to 25M.

    Every wave of approaches since – mass hiring, certification booms, agile transformation – slowed it down. Did not stop it.

    The math on hiring your way out of this doesn’t work.

    Right now there are 40M PMs in the world. By 2035 the demand is 65M. It’s a systemic challenge.

    And it hits some industries harder than others – IT, Finance, Construction are looking at 47-66% demand growth over the next decade.

    Swipe through – 10 cards on where the gap is widest, which industries and regions are most exposed, and why the traditional playbook keeps failing.

  • In project management, your value doesn’t lie in doing everything yourself. It lies in empowering your team to grow, contribute, and lead.

    When you delegate:

    • You drive skill growth and nurture leadership.
    • You free your time to focus on strategy and stakeholder alignment.
    • You gain fresh perspectives, spark innovation, and avoid burnout.

    High-performing project managers delegate with intention and support their teams with the right resources and clarity.

      So I see that some have buttons but others don’t. Is there another way?

      • At its core, Agile is about delivering value early and often, collaborating closely with customers, and adapting quickly to change.

        Created in 2001 by a group of software developers, the Agile Manifesto was a response to rigid, traditional project management methods that often failed to adapt to change or meet real user needs.

          • The phase-gate process is a project management methodology that breaks down a project into a series of phases, each with its own set of deliverables and gates.

            At each gate, the project is reviewed to ensure that it is on track and that the risks are manageable. This helps to ensure that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.
