With all transformation happening in all industries and fields around us, project Management standards, tools and methodologies required to be updated to aid such transformation. Furthermore, during the past few years, our projects have become larger, more complex with more diverse teams and greater uncertainty.

I encourage you all to adopt creativity and create Innovative project management practices.
