In a recent CIO magazine, there was an article titled “hot jobs” where the position of Project Manager was discussed.  CIO magazine is about Information Management and Information Technology so it views the Project Manager through that perspective.  However, it still highlights the need for good Project Managers – ESPECIALLY during these tough economic times.

A quote from the article:  “Poor project execution occurs when there is a breakdown in relationship management, communication, cooperation and poor problem resolution, he says. PMs get projects on track and ensure they are implemented properly and efficiently. This is important in today’s economy; only 35 percent of IT projects are completed successfully, according to The Standish Group”

Review the other blog entry about the amount of money being spent in 2009 on projects – and that is why we need good Project Managers.
