Project Management of the Future: Working on Projects in the Current Field of Tension of Change

Abstract

Project management is in a state of upheaval, with entire workflows and processes having been digitalised or moved to virtual space in a very short space of time in recent years. Projects are now largely managed virtually and from the home office, which has massively increased the importance of (virtual) communication. Among other things, this has abruptly changed the demands on project managers, so that the current situation with all its changes goes far beyond the other "usual difficulties" in everyday project work. This study therefore focusses on the following areas: Structural anchoring of project management in companies, Procurement of personnel for project implementation and support, Requirements for future competencies of project managers
