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.

Aulia2 Comments1 LikeReally insightful post, Igor – the way you’ve laid out the progression of the gap over time makes it very clear this is a much bigger, systemic challenge. The breakdown across industries is especially interesting as well. Thank you very much for sharing this.
Great statistical insight Igor. Interesting to see the turn of digital excellence with the introduction of Assistants (80%) and Optimized designing (20%).

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.

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.
