Today’s project managers recognize the business need for a project, sort through multiple conflicting stakeholders’ demands and deal with rapid change. Additionally, they must manage a myriad of communication issues in both traditional, global and virtual project teams, adapt modern approaches to quality improvement, and tailor their project management approach to include methods and behaviors from Agile when necessary.
