IN THE NEWS HERE’S WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT AIPM
OUR 2020 PROJECT MANAGEMENT SURVEY Over the past few months, we have invited project managers to have their say on how COVID-19 has impacted Australian project delivery performance, by taking part in our Project Insights Survey with KPMG. Our 2019 survey results pointed to challenges in applying consistent governance oversight and managing benefits and change through the project lifecycle. As we look to use projects to rebuild our economy, will these results change this year? Our report will be available on International Project Management Day (Thursday 5 November) as part of a virtual event, which will be available across the country. Put the date in your diary now.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT IS NOW A RESEARCH CLASSIFICATION Another milestone has been achieved for the project management profession. The Australian Research Council has now included “Project Management” as a research classification in Australia and New Zealand with the code 350713, listed under Strategy, Management and Organisational Behaviour. AIPM worked with Dr Julien Pollack at the University of Sydney to ensure the prominence and legitimacy of this important area of interdisciplinary research. This is a crucial step in increasing the prominence and legitimacy of research around the area of project management.
