Скачать или смотреть Everyone's a PM Now How to Prepare for the Future of PM

Project management isn’t just for PMs anymore. In this episode, Galen Low is joined by Crystal Richards, Melissa Khan-Blackmore, and James Louttit to discuss how project management skills are becoming foundational for professionals in all industries—not just those with “project manager” in their title. From navigating AI tools to advocating for real human leadership, the conversation unpacks the evolving landscape of PM and how to prepare for the future.

The panelists explore the usefulness of traditional certifications like the PMP, how organizations often misunderstand project management training, why remote PM roles aren't dead, and how short-form content like TikTok is surprisingly effective at demystifying project work. Whether you’re managing multimillion-dollar programs or planning your wedding, this episode will help you make sense of what you actually need to know.

What You’ll Learn
Why project management is a must-have skill—even if you’re not a PM
The real role (and limitations) of the PMP in today’s job market
How AI is transforming PM tasks without replacing human leadership
Why training often fails—and how to fix it
How to think strategically about certifications, frameworks, and tools

Takeaways
Know Your Why: Don’t chase certifications or frameworks without a clear goal. Understand what you want to achieve and learn what will actually help you get there.

AI is a Tool, Not a Leader: Use AI to reduce friction in task-heavy areas, but never substitute it for emotional intelligence, stakeholder management, or team trust.

Certifications Are Signals, Not Solutions: A PMP can boost your credibility, but it won’t magically make you a great PM. Practical experience and continuous learning matter more.

Frameworks Aren’t One-Size-Fits-All: Avoid rigidly applying Prince2, PMI, or SAFe just because they’re popular. Pick the tools that suit your context and drop the rest.

Remote Work Isn’t Dead—It’s Competitive: Remote PM roles are still viable, but they come with increased competition and demand strong communication skills.
