Is Project Management a career
for the future?
• One of the best benefits of globalization is that you can google your
way out of future troubles. Although you’ll have to study online
information carefully or else you'll end up either living with problems
like those or spending more money and resources trying to deal with
them. The internet has turned out to be a lifesaver for lots of
professionals, though it's been difficult for some project professionals
as well.
• Millions of people weigh future relevance and money when selecting
a profession. Data analytics, engineering, data science, copywriting,
project management, filmmaking, artificial intelligence, and digital
marketing are some of the professions that are seen as 'future-proof.'
For this post, we'll focus on the project management Certification
career path and you might want to ask yourself…
Why is Project Management a career for the
Future?
• Let's get back to the earlier discussion about money and relevance.
Project managers who have positioned themselves globally by
acquiring their PMP Certification not only earn six figures. They also
have other work benefits that others aren't privy to. Additionally,
because of how important the work they do is, they are able to work
in any field available to them. Now think about it - is there any
organization that doesn't deal with a project or another? I doubt it
too.
What do Project Managers Do?
• All project management roles have the same core functions. These
include initiating a project, planning, managing, and directing project
activities, monitoring and controlling the project, and closing it down.
The other responsibilities are problem-solving, influencing,
organizing, analyzing, leading meetings, risk management, issue
management, communication management, stakeholder
management, and resource management.
• Project managers oversee projects and ensure they're completed on
time and within budget. They do this by using the best resources, and
methods and ensuring that objectives are met to achieve success.
They also monitor any variances or issues that arise during execution
to remedy the situation. As a project manager, it is your responsibility
to identify and resolve issues before the project gets out of control -
which it inevitably does (it's inevitable)
• You will also handle stakeholder engagements and provide reports on
your findings. Data entry experience is a definite plus, as you might be
required to work on many projects simultaneously depending on the
organization's needs.
