Tagged: Master's in Project Management
By 2027, the United States will need 8.8 million project managers, nearly a 30-percent increase over 2017, according to the Project Management Association. And worldwide by that year, there will be a need for an astonishing 87.7 million professionals to work in project management-oriented roles.
Why such a tremendous need? Just look at what project managers do: They initiate and plan projects, execute those projects, and monitor them from start to finish. And they do this in a business and government environment that is becoming more complex, more fast-paced, and more competitive, interconnected, and global than ever before.
Virtually anything that has to be designed—from manufactured goods to construction projects, from the latest in computer software to cutting-edge scientific equipment—requires highly skilled professionals who can guide projects to completion. The job requires a multitude of skills: leadership and effective communication, organization and time management, problem solving and the ability to manage multiple teams. Project managers also use a variety of methodologies and approaches—such as Agile, Lean, Waterfall, and Scrum—to assist them in their work. The reward is the development of new products, processes, and innovations that can make life better for us all.
