According to the PMI, the global economy will need 25 million new project professionals by 2030. Project Management is more than just understanding how to deliver a project on time, within scope and on budget. It also involves developing your power skills (communication, problem-solving, collaborative leadership and strategic thinking – AKA soft skills) or interpersonal skills. It’s clear that these skills are highly sought-after in today’s competitive job market, and having these skills not only opens doors to future opportunities but also contributes to improved performance in current roles.
