Relevance of Project Management

According to the PMI "Pulse of the Profession" report (2018), only 58 percent of companies acknowledge the value of project management. The importance of full acknowledgement of project management cannot be emphasized enough. For example, organizations that underestimate project management as a strategic competence for promoting change report on average 50 percent more failures in their projects. The PMI report published in 2017 also highlights the importance of project management: on average, counterproductive project performance loses around 97 million dollars out of one billion dollars invested.

• if your project is very complex and you can't tell the current status at any time with a clear conscience.
