| Project Management Trends |
|
With the first quarter of the year almost done and dusted, we hope that 2015 is treating you well! We are constantly looking at ways to improve and expand our offerings, and have a host of new offerings for you. If you perform business analysis functions on your projects, check out the Mastering Business Analysis and PMI-PBA certification preparation programme and for those of you who are implementing Agile techniques on your projects, check out the PMI-ACP® certification preparation programme and APMG‘s AgilePM® Foundation and Practitioner certifications.
The theme of this edition is Project Management Trends. Karin Deacon provides us with insight into what differentiates those organisations that get it and the ones who don’t.

| Organisations that get it and the ones that don’t - Karin Deacon |

Let‘s face it - Human beings have been running projects since "Pa fell off the bus".
So why is it that so many projects across all industries, irrespective of size, complexity and risk exposure just don‘t hack it? I like to refer to them as the lumps of coal. And then we have the gems - the projects which meet the agreed KPI’s and stakeholder expectations. The gems - precious stones rare and brilliant. |

The business analysis role is often misunderstood. In addition, business analysis may performed by any individual who is responsible for performing the work regardless of the persons title.
Organisations today may find that business analysis is being performed by a range of people, for example, agile team members, project managers, product owners, business architects, requirements managers, to name but a few.
