Current demand and future scope of project management

There is a high demand for project managers across all industries, and that demand will continue to grow. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for project management specialists will grow at 6% between 2024 and 2034, which is faster than the demand for all other occupations. That works out to a projected 78,200 job openings each year throughout the decade. 

Like nearly all occupations, project managers need to adapt to AI's growing influence on their jobs. While many business leaders have already invested heavily in technical talent with AI skills, they’re setting their sights on non-technical employees who can leverage generative AI to increase efficiency, productivity, quality, and innovation. According to the 2024 Work Trend Index Annual Report from Microsoft and LinkedIn, 71% of business leaders say that they would consider candidates with AI skills over those with more experience. And that gives junior employees a significant opportunity to accelerate their careers.

Simplilearn’s project management courses have been updated with AI modules to help you meet this new requirement. You’ll get the opportunity to learn the applications of GenAI in project scope management, risk management, AI-driven decision support, analytics in project monitoring, and much more.

Top job roles after project management certification

Having a project management certification will open up many job opportunities that your uncertified peers won’t make the preliminary cut for. Certifications from leading industry bodies like PMI and Axelos testify to your ability to handle complex projects using proven and trusted methodologies, tools, and advanced techniques. They also show that you have the required “soft skills” to manage projects and cross-functional teams from start to finish. 

Here are some of the job roles a project manager certification will help you qualify for:

Engineering Project Manager

Marketing Project Manager

Health Services Project Manager

Construction Project Manager

Project Management Consultant

Project Management Office (PMO) Manager

Senior Project Manager

Portfolio and Program Manager

    As per the Project Management Institute (PMI), project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements. The processes of project management are divided into five groups, namely:

    • Initiating

  • What Is the Difference Between Project Management and Program Management?

    Project Management VS. Program Management

    There is a stark difference between project management and program management. Project management refers to the task of organizing, planning, and executing projects. The project managers manage risks, allocate resources, and track the progress of the projects. These professionals also implement strategies to meet goals and deliver projects on time.

    On the other hand, program management is more focused on long-term plans, it does not have any fixed deadlines to follow. A program manager entails a program with various projects and is responsible for managing several organizational projects at a time. A program manager has greater responsibilities toward organizational performance. The manager applies the necessary knowledge and techniques to achieve the organization’s goals.   


    Project Management VS. Project Portfolio Management


    Project management is more focused on achieving the short-term project goals of an organization. In contrast, project portfolio management is more concerned with achieving the long-term goals of an organization. Project management is more dedicated towards undertaking a series of tasks and delivering them on a stipulated time. Similarly, portfolio management prioritizes objectives, business values, risks, and other factors that affect the long term.
