Importance of Project Management Competence
Project management skills are more critical than ever. We are in the midst of a societal shift where projects are becoming a significant portion of organizational work. Experts predict a 50-50 split between time spent on core functions and projects, meaning that more employees today need strong project management competences.
Challenges in Project Management
Approximately two-thirds of projects in Danish workplaces run over time, over budget, or both. The project manager plays a crucial role in whether a project succeeds or fails. Achieving project success requires the right project framework, good stakeholder communication, structured planning, team motivation, budget adherence, deadline adherence, effective problem-solving, and much more.
