The 5 Project Management Trends Of 2019



Although the year is almost at an end, there are 5 distinct project management trends which have become very important within any organization. Project managers are involved in substantial decision-making practices within a business, providing helpful guidelines and goal-based solutions for any occurring problem. Some of the most common roles of a project manager are resource planning, team organization and motivation, time-management control, budget development and cost estimation, customer-satisfaction development, risk management, and progress tracking.
There are several ways in which a project manager can assist a business to grow relatively fast via drastic changes, intensive hard-work and commitment. To understand how much of an impact a project management team could have on a company, the following is a brief list of essential points in which PM can affect the business development.
  •         Improving project estimation techniques
  •       Understanding a company’s true resource competencies
  •       Learning how to prioritize just the right projects
  •       Mapping out a clear and well-defined business plan
  •       Planning business projects mindfully
  •       Optimizing resources fairly
  •       Gaining real time visibility
  •       Developing budget-improvement plans
  •       Improving service/product delivery
  •       Facilitating team collaboration
  •       Minimizing risk and maximizing efficiency
  •       Measure productivity and progress
  •       Improving cash flow
  •       Producing clearer management reports

Since project managers are essential parts of any organization, the emerging trends mentioned below of 2019 are good skills to have for 2019 and beyond.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming the leading technology as the fourth industrial revolution emerges. There are many useful AI algorithms that provide improved customer care and better real-time services, as well as superior marketplace conditions. Automation may or may not replace people, but it is best to embrace it, if success is expected. “AI boots could plan better portfolios, relocate resources more efficiently and systematically, and even carry out objective reporting, so it’s important that future technological changes are embraced.
More complex projects will probably be handed to AI-machines, which will solve problems quickly and improve the overall decision-making process with one’s company. As automation expanses, improving softer skills becomes crucial for project managers. Building meaningful relationships with clients should be primal focus but learning how to make proper use of AI boots is very important as well.
If there is a thought of pursuing an online job in the upcoming year, here are some tips that might help stay on top of work. First, make sure clients are checked constantly and keep track of their work. Don’t hesitate to keep them accountable for personal updates – checking their status is perfectly normal. This can be achieved by using online collaboration tools to facilitate communication processes.

Regardless of which methodology is used Agile, Waterfall, Scrum, Prince2, PMI’s, or Kanban separately to get assignment help and make  company deliver whatever is necessary, whenever it’s necessary, or possibly use a hybrid methodology, a combination of favourite project management methodologies and facilitate work. The impact of using this technique might seem less relevant than it is, by using the hybrid model, the opportunity to bring everything in one place assists in developing efficiency.
Analyzing data is one of the most important key activities in almost any PM project. With such big chunks of information available, companies will rely more on numbers and less on other available data. For example, assessing risk using this method is not something unusual, while determining customer needs based on numbers is quite typical as well.
Project management tools have long been an important part of a PM’s job, but with quickly-evolving technologies and fast-expanding global market, learn how to use the latest ones available on the market to see adequate results.
The following are some ways in which these tools will help.
  •       The ability to plan out projects easier and faster
  •       Track and schedule meetings, events, deadlines
  •       The tools to enhance collaboration (especially if working remotely) and help share information and          collaborators/employers.
  •       To meet deadlines but also plan budgets
  •      Track team’s goals and develop resource planning

These new trends are not everything that matters in 2019. They will definitely have a huge impact on how companies do business and how project managers are perceived, but make sure to remain confident in developed abilities. In a nutshell, learn automation processes and check where the difference can be made, learn the new hybrid model, use available online tools for planning, and accept the changes that come with an open mentality!

What is needed for good capacity planning?

Capacity planning is an issue of supply and demand, which has the ability to derail a project .  It is a process that balances the available hours of teams against what the project needs. Capacity in this case is the most work that can be done over a certain timeframe. It’s a bit of a juggling act that has to keep several balls in the air, such as the availability of the team, the money in the budget for those hours and what is demanded by the client, stakeholder or customer. Capacity and planning obviously go hand-in-glove. Planning is how one schedules the hours of the team members so that the work gets done in time. The first questions to address when planning for capacity within an organization is whether or not there is sufficient capacity, or the resources, to do the work. Regardless of the situation, there will be a lack of understanding unless there is a way to measure and track resources, such as a  resource management tool . Only then can an educated decisio...
