Episode 33 - The future of project management

This episode dives into the biggest shake-up in project management in years—the PMI and Agile Alliance merger—and why digital project management (DPM) might be the missing piece in this new landscape. But not before Brett relives the glory days of the Eagles’ Super Bowl win, hoping for a win this weekend at Super Bowl LIX.

The Huddle

We’re hitting the road—join us in person for some hands-on learning!

• Brett is set to facilitate a workshop at the Digital PM Summit this October in Portland, OR.
• Greg will be leading a workshop at Agile 2025, July 28-30 in Denver, CO.

The Review

The recent merger between PMI and the Agile Alliance marks a pivotal moment for the project management industry, bringing together two historically opposing methodologies under one roof. This moment presents an opportunity for DPM to take its rightful place at the table—bridging the gap between Agile’s flexibility and PMI’s structured approach to create a more effective, people-first approach to project leadership.

We explore:

• What does this merger mean for the future of project management?
• How this shift could impact teams.
• What we’d say to PMI and Agile Alliance leaders.

We also published two new Teamangle articles this week:

• Unlocking team creativity through structured brainstorming
• Why structured brainstorming creates innovative solutions
