NOTES FROM THE CALL:
What are the trends and issues impacting project management around the globe? The Project Management Institute’s Pulse of the Profession report looks at the macro environmental and business factors that are changing the project management landscape. The report links these factors to specific trends in enterprise project management practices and the development of project management practitioners. Pulse of the Profession draws from a number of sources to paint a timely picture of the project management profession. The heart of the report comes from PMI’s own Pulse of the Profession Survey, which is based on feedback from over 1,100 practitioners from around the globe. The survey explores trends in the practice of project management and how those practices correlate to project success or failure.
