Project management development in the era of drastic change
In order to maximize the use of disruptive technologies, project professionals must embrace artificial intelligence and other “game-changing” tools to empower the future.
Facts have proved that it is not enough for project professionals to control the triple constraints of time, scope, and cost. According to this year’s Pulse of the Profession, an average of 11.4% of global investment is wasted due to poor project performance. Organizations that underestimate the strategic role of project management in driving change have, on average, more than 67% of their projects fail.
So how to improve the management of the project? According to the data of Pulse of the Profession, most organizations attach almost the same importance to leadership development as technical project management skills. In the changing era, it is imperative to improve project management ability.
Ability improvement of Project Manager = PMP + ACP
Bimodal management can realize a series of flexible methods in value delivery, such as predictive, iterative, incremental, agile, and hybrid.
1. Facing the environment: PMP resource environment is relatively certain + ACP innovative and rapidly changing environment
2. How to implement: What does PMP do (ten areas of knowledge) + how to do ACP (methodology)
81% of companies in mainland China currently adopt agile project management

This figure is worthy of the attention of the majority of practitioners: it shows that the rapid
development of agile, and get more and more applications.
Let’s take a look at the scope of agile use:
The proportion of domestic software companies using agile management methods:
Used in all projects: 5.48%;
Used in most projects: 28.87%;

Used in a small number of projects: 31.18%;
Not used: 21.68%.

5. Applicable environment: under the condition of relatively definite resources and environment, one thing can be done perfectly by planning at one time
What is ACP?
ACP refers to agile practitioners.
1. Learning content: method practice in accordance with agile principles and values
2. Task object: systematic process from concept to practice
