| Project management (PM) topics at PICMET have encompassed some tremendous research as well as industry applications and evolving trends. The paper and tutorial presentations have commonly included some lively Q&A’s and discrete opinions and perspectives on the findings, practices, and techniques. This panel aims to address the trends, contemporary practices and perceptional controversies that surround the application of PM in engineering, technology and industry. Topics expected to be addressed include personality and project characteristics that impact project success; agile project management verses traditional full project planning; PM leadership and sustainable commitment from stakeholder groups; the human side of risk management, including team behavior and organizational dynamics; project delivery within strict program and portfolio management methodologies; the PM discipline – who is responsible; and trends in academic research and industry applications. A particular panel question may be, “Are the perspectives and applications just changing modern project management or are they reinventing it?” The panel will consist of leading academic and practitioner specialists who will present abbreviated perspectives on the topics followed by both seeded and audience questions and challenges.
