Smartsheet for Project & Portfolio Management 3in1 - 10 PDUs

The project management field is experiencing a massive skills gap. A 2021 PMI study forecasts a global shortage of project management professionals, estimating a need for 25 million new hires by 2030. That means 2.3 million individuals must enter the field annually to meet the growing demand. This high demand translates directly into increased project management salaries. With a surge of entry-level project managers entering the market, competition is intensifying. Experienced project managers with 5+ years of experience are becoming increasingly valuable and expensive to hire.

Are you considering a career in project management? You have two excellent paths to explore:

• Transition to a Full-Time Project Manager Role: Embark on a career change and dedicate yourself to project management.
• Develop Project Management Skills: Enhance your existing skillset by integrating project management methodologies into your current role (e.g., a marketing expert leading projects).

Regardless of your chosen path, you'll eventually encounter projects that challenge your capabilities. To overcome these limitations, you need to:

• Adopt a Project Methodology: Move beyond relying on intuition and implement structured project management frameworks.
• Utilize a Project Management Tool: Leverage software to streamline your workflow and enhance efficiency. Don't underestimate the power of tools like Smartsheet for modern project management.
