The PMI Silicon Valley Chapter is pleased to announce its 2022 Annual Symposium, which will again this year be conducted virtually. This year's theme is: “Project Management in a VUCA World: Overcoming Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity in Today’s Projects.”
“VUCA” is a now-common acronym in business and project management. The Harvard Business Review described VUCA as a “catchall for ‘Hey, it's crazy out there!’” The current 7th Edition PMI PMBOK Guide includes “Uncertainty” as its eighth Performance Domain - addressing “Uncertainty, Ambiguity, Complexity, Volatility, and Risk.” All project leaders face these factors every day in our current projects. There’s no question that it’s crazy out here, and it is only getting worse…
