An absolute explosion in big data has stormed over industries in the past decade. Data generated from web traffic, social media, email and text communications, digital images, and other digital information sources will grow exponentially.
- What impact does the growing number of data-driven organizations have on the project manager role?
- How do project, program, and portfolio managers navigate the successful execution of big data projects?
As the project management discipline evolves, the reality that every project starts within a unique organizational context compels project managers to develop the decision-making skills necessary to tailor legacy best practices to ensure the maximum value of the project. Project managers must understand the business, people, organizational context, and culture to make sound decisions regarding the most appropriate project management methodology. Beyond the Project Horizon, the Journal of Project Management Innovation will illuminate the future of the project profession through discussion.
