  Project Managers are the Magic Makers

  Jan 11, 202652 minS0

  <p>Project management has grown up a lot over the past few decades.

  Project Success Comes from Fixing What’s Broken

  Dec 15, 202554 minS0

  <p>There’s a strange paradox in project management. Sometimes when we do our jobs well, nothing happens. No crisis, no headlines, and no heroic saves. Just outcomes!</p><p>That truth came into sharp focus in my recent conversation withFrank Saladis, PMI Fellow, longtime volunteer leader, author, educator, and one of the true stewards of our profession.</p><p>Frank has lived through multiple eras of project management, from the early days of formal PMOs to the rise of IT, agile, and global scale. What makes his perspective powerful isn’t nostalgia, it’s clarity.</p><p>The Day the Wo...
