It’s naïve to assume that there won’t be any AI-driven changes to leadership. But it will still remain a people-focused, people-driven discipline. That's because at its heart, leadership is still going to be about getting the most out of people.
For more than a decade, the PMI Talent Triangle® has given project professionals a shared way to describe their development. PMI is proposing an update for 2026, and the proposal is open for comment until November 21.

The more content that is provided, the harder it is to get the intended message across without risking a loss of engagement by the audience. Rather than using AI to generate content, PMs should use it to refine content.
As we celebrate another International Project Management (IPM) Day, one practitioner reflects on how the role of project managers has evolved...and the industry changes we need to continually adapt to.
Becoming a growth advocate—someone who actively pushes the organization toward better practices, not just better projects—isn't a title anyone hands you. It's a decision you make, repeatedly, usually with no formal authority behind it.
The pursuit of greater effectiveness is a key differentiator; anything that makes us more effective at the individual level, the enterprise level or anywhere in between is a good thing. But the efficiency angle? Not so much...

Ethical practice is the foundation of trust in every project we lead. To help professionals apply the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct in their daily work, the Ethics Advisory Team (EAT) has created a seven-part webinar series.
We're often held captive by a training course, watching the completion meter count down. But organizations don't want people to merely go through it. How can we leave people with something they can actually use?
Complex projects rarely struggle because teams have no information. More often, the challenge is that project information is scattered across meetings, work-management tools, risk logs, emails, status reports, and stakeholder conversations. Technical teams may see tasks, defects, and dependencies, while business stakeholders focus on outcomes, timelines, and value. Sponsors need to understand risks, decisions, and business impact. When these groups do not share a clear view of the project, misunderstandings increase, decisions slow down, and risks can remain hidden until they affect delivery.
The message of the webinar is that ethical memory is essential for modern Agile and project‑delivery professionals, especially when acknowledging the origins of the practices they use daily. The deck emphasizes that commercial failure is not the same as irrelevance, noting that “Agile practices we use every day…did not spring from nowhere in 2001,” and that ethical storytelling requires crediting pioneers whose ideas shaped today’s frameworks even if their ventures did not succeed commercially.

In healthcare, AI adoption cannot be treated as a simple technology rollout. It must be governed responsibly because project teams are often working with sensitive data, regulated workflows, complex stakeholder groups, clinical or operational risk, and high expectations for trust, transparency, and compliance.
