The world is presenting challenges for organizations and project managers that previously seemed remote and unthinkable. Even with uncertainty around us, we will be called upon to deliver value. The existing “change acumen” of project professionals is and will be more relevant than ever before. We will be called upon to rethink how work gets done and use new approaches compared to those used just a few months ago.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will forever change the way that we approach work. Its consequence will be greater adoption of what PMI term  The Project Economy.

Project management skills will offer the critical competencies that organizations, academia, and governments will need as they stand themselves up again post-pandemic in what we might call “A New Norm.” PMI will continue to offer relevant resources for our members, certification holders, and project professionals around the globe.

We have recently launched a number of digital courses for project managers to build additional skills.

Business Continuity Online Course

Offered at no-cost, these courses are timely and relevant. With more companies asking employees to work from home and in-person industry events going virtual, COVID-19 has created an immediate need to rethink work processes. This course is designed to help leaders and their employees adapt during this difficult time.

Project Management for Beginners Online Course

Made available for free for the first time ever, Project Management for Beginners is an introductory course that provides the foundational knowledge necessary to join a project team and can serve as the first step on the path to a project management career.

Agile in the PMO Online Course

Now being offered at no cost, this series positions participants as a PMO director, and walks them through a series of scenarios designed to improve their project management office's performance using agile principles and processes.
