This document discusses 3 global trends in project management: 1) disruptive change is accelerating, 2) the number and complexity of projects is increasing, and 3) the shortage of project talent is increasing. It notes that PMI has over 467,000 members globally and provides data showing the percentage of projects meeting goals has remained flat at 64% despite increasing complexity. By 2020, 15.7 million new project management roles will be needed due to a shortage exacerbated by an aging workforce. High performing organizations that invest in training project managers achieve better results.
