Demand is mainly due to organisations increasingly requiring processes that are in sync with the fast and ever-changing pace of business and technology.

A Day In The Life Of … 

One thing Agile project managers are guaranteed of is job variety! You could enjoy a variety of workplace roles, including at an enterprise level, where you may be leading and managing large, complex projects with multiple Agile teams that require integration. 

 

You may also be playing a team level role where you put the appropriate process, tools and people in place for project efficiency and effectiveness. This role could be at a consultant level and also involve coaching team members to optimise efficiency. 

 

Or you could be in a hybrid Agile role where you use your skills to develop an approach that achieves project goals with designated project constraints. Regardless, your focus will most likely be on managing timelines, deliverables, teams and external stakeholders.

 

Agile project managers are vital to business so you can look forward to a rewarding career in an ever-changing landscape. Because as Project Auditor Joy Gumz, sums up, “Operations keeps the lights on, strategy provides a light at the end of the tunnel, but project management is the train engine that moves the organisation forward.”
