introducing reforms as it tries to encourage growth while
curtailing its budget deficit.

on state finances, resulting in price rises but sending a signal that
it was willing to push ahead with reforms.

two weeks was for economic growth of 3.3 percent in the
current fiscal year ending June 2015 - above the 3.2 percent

predict the future-including project managers.
14
Circumstances change, new factors intercede and unforeseen
challenges creep up. But we must recognize trends and changing
paradigms in order to prepare for the future.

Failing to consider the future will only leave the profession at a
disadvantage. "If you're not prepared, then you cannot interact," .

Project managers are faced with a very dynamic environment
characterized with serious changes
So what are these changes ?? ………………….
15
1. Increased Project Complexity and Team Dynamics
• The composition of project teams, as we traditionally think of them has shifted.
• What used to be defined as the working group that executed the project has expanded to
include stakeholders, partners and managers.
• Grappling with these changes requires more social and professional networking.
• Project Managers of the future must understand the dynamics of people and organizations
at all levels, including the cognitive structures that create change and influence decisionmaking.
A Project Manager must be prepared to serve as cheerleader,
provider and facilitator.
16
2. Ever-Changing and Expanding Technology
• The IT field will continue to have strong influence over how projects and teams are
organized.
• A central IT support system with specialized knowledge will keep organizations on top of the
latest technology, enabling project managers to use resources to the fullest advantage.
Project Managers must know what is out there and use it
to their advantage
3. The Need for Strategic Alignment
17
• Too many times, project managers are not connected with enterprise strategy.
• But that connection is necessary if they want project management methodology-and their
teams-to be viewed as critical components of the organization's business objectives.
•
Project leaders must connect and get involved with their senior management to create a
strategic alliance.
Project managers to attend strategic planning sessions, get acquainted with the organization's
specific long-range goals and understand those goals are implemented at the project level.
18
4- The Need for Professional Development
It is important to promote education programs and encourage certifications-which will
ultimately result in more integrity and respect for the field.
