PMI says that by 2027 employers will need nearly 88 million people in project-related roles. While PMI is an organization for project managers predicting the importance of their own community and you do want to take their figures in context, I do think they have a point. Project managers are the people who can make that happen.

If you have sat through any project management conference presentations or talked to someone evangelizing about the role of the PMO then you will have heard this stuff before. PMI (and other professional bodies) are keen to elevate the role of the project manager beyond someone who simply ticks boxes and marks tasks as 100% complete.

Presentation can win the day. It is all in the presentation and in turning negatives in to positives. There will be times when you need to recover from sticky situations and on those occasions you need to have the skill to find the positive and the will to present it convincingly. Presentation counts! [1]

I always encourage managers to present budgets as a range , because single-point estimates often trap you into a certain mindset where there is no scope for change, whatever the reason. Your PMO might have definitions for each of those to help you define and refine your estimates at the early stages of the project.

The PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct defines a set of standards for how project managers should behave. Tell your sponsor or your PMO manager that you feel there is a conflict of interest. It’s probably fairer and less controversial to say that it was “estimated” rather than created totally randomly from scratch.
