Top performing companies that employ proven project management practices waste 21% less money than underperformers in similar roles.1 That's because having trained and skilled professionals to keep everything running smoothly shows up on the bottom line. Organizations that invest in proven project management practices waste less money because their projects were successfully finished on time and on budget, according to Project Management Institute (PMI) President and CEO Mark A. Langley. PMI reports that in 2017, organizational waste due to poor project performance was down 20% from the prior year.
It is not surprising that the statistics also show that companies that complete more projects on time and on budget are also more successful. Project managers take the plans and make them concrete.
As more companies see the benefits of project management, demand for individuals with professional managers, especially those with project management certification, is expected to increase over the next decade. In fact, according to a report released by PMI, employers will need 87.7 million individuals working in project management-oriented roles by the year 2027.2
PMI is the world's leading association for project management professionals. Its Global Accreditation Center has granted Walden University's MS in Project Management a PMI certification one of the few online programs to earn such distinction. The program covers internationally recognized standards and prepares students to sit for the Project Management Professional exam. Graduates gain business, communication, and leadership skills that organizations need.
When companies invest in their plans for the future, they want a reasonable assurance that their vision can come to fruition. Hiring individuals who have been highly trained and how to put project management tools into practice can help turn business dreams into reality.
