Feeling stuck in your project management career, wondering if there's any real future? You're not alone. The truth about project management's longevity might surprise you, and it has everything to do with adaptation. Uncover the essential insights and skills that will future-proof your career in this rapidly changing field.
In this months Ask A Mentor Session we explore this question;
“Is it true that staying too long in project management makes it harder to move up? I’ve been in PM for a while now, mostly mid and large projects and sometimes I wonder if I’ve boxed myself in. When I talk to execs or VPs, a lot of them didn’t stay in project management for long, they graduated into strategy, ops or product leadership after a few years.
Meanwhile, I know PMs who’ve been running projects for 10–15 years and they’re insanely good at it… but they seem to hit a ceiling. Companies lean on them to deliver but don’t always see them as leadership material. I enjoy the work but I don’t want to wake up in 10 years and realise I’m stuck in a lane that doesn’t lead anywhere. Does project management long term help to move up or should I pivot to something else to break through?”
