Question: A new PMP® exam is here. The head of our PMO asked me to see if it would have any effect on how we train our people to sit for the exam. Also, does it foretell any changes we may need to make in the way we do business?

In this interview, Johan Roos frames enterprise agility as a matter of change readiness, rooted in people’s capabilities. He emphasizes leaders’ role in modeling desired behaviors while noting that everyone must build the curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration needed for continuous change. Roos also discusses AI as a tool to amplify human judgment and concludes that agility requires stronger collaboration across interconnected ecosystems.
Many organizations are experimenting with AI, but only a small number successfully move beyond pilots into measurable enterprise impact. AI initiatives often stall because project teams focus on the technology while underestimating governance, data readiness, stakeholder alignment, risk management, change adoption, and value realization.
**PMI Led Webinar** As the first and only global standard for AI in portfolio, program, and project work, "The Standard for Artificial Intelligence in Portfolio, Program, and Project Management" (PMI 2026) gives project professionals a practical foundation for applying AI responsibly. This webinar will help attendees understand the Standard’s guiding principles, performance domains, and applied use cases — and how to use them to bring more structure, accountability, and confidence to AI adoption.
