Project Management Institute

What happens when sustainability stops being something an organization reports on and becomes a compass for decision making? That's the question our Lucila Dotto, Global Head of Sustainability at PMI and Executive Director of Green Project Management (GPM), asked herself after joining sustainability leaders at Natura Cajamar, Brazil. Read her six takeaways from that experience: https://bit.ly/4xVLkFD

So, you’re curious about the PMP certification… Here’s your guide! This covers what the PMP represents, who it's designed for, and how to decide if the timing is right for your career.

One reason. Two exciting opportunities to connect with the PMI global community in person: - #PMIGlobalSummitCapeTown (14-15 September) - #PMIGlobalSummit (21-24 October)

A project can be well managed and still no longer be worth doing. The decision to continue, change or stop belongs to the project sponsor, typically the senior leader who represents the organization behind the project and provides the executive authority it requires. We have spent decades professionalizing project management. We have built standards, education, professional certifications and research for the professionals who lead projects. We invested far less in the senior executives who sponsor them, providing the organizational authority, resources and governance projects need to succeed. Sponsors are often appointed and expected to learn the role while performing it. PMI’s global research shows why this matters. Although 48% of projects are clearly successful, 40% produce mixed results and 12% are outright failures. Just 37% of projects define upfront what success looks like, put a performance measurement system in place and track it throughout the project - although doing all three nearly doubles PMI’s measure of project success, the Net Project Success Score. Today, PMI and GPM are publishing The PMI® GPM® Guide to Responsible Project Sponsorship: Governing whether projects remain worth doing. It defines sponsorship as a governance discipline. It sets out seven STEWARD accountabilities that sponsors cannot delegate without weakening governance, together with four critical decisions that require sponsor authority throughout the project life cycle: authorize, continue, change and stop. Continue may be the most neglected of the four. Once money has been committed and teams are at work, momentum can replace judgment. The guide treats continuation as an active decision, based on a current business case, explicit tradeoffs and evidence that the expected value remains worth the effort and expense. It also puts sustainability into the same decision system. Social, environmental and economic impacts inform the business case and the decision to continue, change or stop. AI can improve the evidence available. Accountability remains human. I have sponsored many initiatives throughout my career. The hardest calls were rarely about how to deliver. They were about whether the mandate still held, whether the expected value remained achievable and whether we had the discipline to change course or stop. For executives, this is a practical guide to a role many already hold but few were ever taught. For project professionals, it defines the sponsorship they should expect.

“As I studied for the PMP, I had a moment of clarity. Servant leadership isn’t just top-down. It is a two, three, 50-way street that we all have power in growing out around us.” A true story of moving into being a project manager instead of a project messenger. ⬇️

Sometimes the best project wins don't come from having more resources. They come from using the ones you have a little differently. #ICYMI #ProjectManagement
