#PMP Question #1057
You took over a customer project for your company. From the inputs available, including contract, statement of work and project charter, you have developed a project management plan.
You already presented that plan in a meeting with key stakeholders including your project sponsor and some representatives from the customer organization. During the meeting, you sensed a high level of dissatisfaction by the customer executives, who signaled that the project might not produce the results that their company had expected. In your understanding, all necessary actions have been planned to meet the customer’s requirements.
What should you do next?
Answers:
a. Request a written statement from the customer detailing the requirements which they believe are not addressed by your plan. Use this statement to update the project plan.
b. Arrange meetings with the customer to identify their needs, wants and expectations for the project. Then create a narrative Scope statement from this information to document the agreed upon project scope.
c. Request a formal meeting on top executive level to get the misunderstandings sorted out, then arrange a change request, re-plan your project where necessary and go ahead with the project work.
d. Do not over-react. Performed according to your plan, the project will produce a convincing product for the customer. As soon as the executives will see it, they will probably change their opinion and accept it.

Friends, have you all seen this report yet?
https://www.pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/global-project-management-talent-gap

The PMI's Global Project Management Talent Gap Report highlights the significant challenges and opportunities in the field of project management due to a projected talent gap. The report emphasizes the critical role of project professionals in navigating technological and geopolitical changes, with a projected shortfall of up to 30 million project professionals by 2035. This underscores the urgency for reskilling and upskilling in the field.

Key points from the report include:
- Market Size and Talent Gap: The current global market size is approximately 40 million project professionals, with a projected demand of 65 to 70 million by 2035. The talent gap is expected to reach up to 29.8 million professionals due to attrition and retirement.
- Regional Insights: Significant growth in demand is expected in regions like China, South Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa, while mature economies like North America and Europe will see slower growth but significant demand in sectors like healthcare, energy, and IT.
- Executive Summary: The report outlines the critical need for project professionals across all industries, particularly in construction and manufacturing, and highlights the risks to business performance due to the talent shortfall.

The conclusion from the report is simple - PMs will not lose their work!
But, with all due respect to AI innovations, the competencies that need to be mastered, developed and supported in 2025-28 remain the same:
- Agile & Hybrid Methodologies (master Scrum, SAFe, and Disciplined Agile to lead adaptive projects).
- AI & Data Literacy (learn how to use AI-enhanced tools, interpret project data, and apply predictive analytics).
- Strategic Project Leadership (develop business acumen, outcome focus, and strategic alignment skills, like PMI’s M.O.R.E. mindset).
- Digital Project Tools Mastery (gain proficiency in Jira, Asana, MS Project, and BI platforms like Power BI, Tableu).
- Upskilling in Key Growth Industries (focus on healthcare, IT, construction, or energy sectors depending on your region).
- Uncertainty Management (learn to navigate transformation, lead change, and manage risk proactively).
- Continuous Certification & Learning (pursue PMP, PMI-ACP, DA certifications, and AI).
