Project management meets product management - two disciplines that often run side by side, although they actually have the same goal: Creating more value for customers and companies. The new PMI Thought Leadership Report “Dual Engines of Success - The Imperative Synergies between Project Management and Product Management” sheds light on how these two approaches not only can, but must, work together to ensure sustainable business success.

💡 The key finding: project and product managers often speak the same language and share many common skills. They plan, communicate and solve problems - with a clear focus on results. Almost 80% of the product managers surveyed already have experience in project management, and over 90% consider project management skills to be helpful in their day-to-day work. 

🥁 What does that mean for us? Success is achieved where project and product management do not see themselves as opposites, but as complementary forces. If you want to make projects successful, you can't just think about the end of the project, you have to keep the entire product life cycle in mind.

📘 The report shows how we can achieve more and create real value through joint working methods, better communication and a genuine understanding of each other. The M.O.R.E. framework - a model that goes beyond pure execution and focuses on the networking of project results - is used as a guide. Anyone reading the report will not only gain a deeper understanding of the synergies between the two disciplines. They will also receive practical recommendations on how collaboration can succeed, how tensions can be overcome and how agile approaches can form the bridge.
