Smartsheet for Project & Portfolio Management 3in1 - 10 PDUs

PMO Executive Shares his personal workflows in Smartsheet

According to a PMI study conducted in 2021, The Global Economy is facing a significant shortage of project management professionals, with an estimated need for 25 million new employees by 2030. To address this gap, 2.3 Million individuals must enter the field annually.

When demand dramatically exceeds supply, salaries offered will increase significantly. With an influx of "newbie" project managers entering the market, competition will intensify. Meanwhile, experienced professionals boasting 5+ years of expertise will become even more expensive to hire.

If you are reading this, you are already interested in project management. This is great! You've got two promising paths to maximize your gains:

1. Transition into a full-time project manager role.

2. Develop project management as a skill alongside your subject matter expertise. (e.g. Marketing expert who can lead a project)

Regardless of the path you choose, especially if you excel, you'll inevitably encounter a threshold where the volume and complexity of projects you handle will push your limits. No matter your skill level, everyone has their breaking point.

To surpass this point, you'll need to take two crucial steps:

1. Adopt a project methodology

2. Start using a project management tool

Many project managers put off using structured methods and prefer to rely on intuition and manual processes. They might say they know Microsoft Project on their CVs, even if they haven't used it much or at all.
