Be Careful What You Wish For…

Mark Mullaly writing in GanttHead suggests that project management becoming a profession may not be what we really want, Brave New World (Part 1). He outlines the additional responsibilities — professional liability — along with a shift in authority that would be required. How many of us think we have the authority we need to do our jobs? How many think that will change? He further introduces the likelihood of regulation. (Sarbanes-Oxley all over again!)

I'm sticking with the status quo. Although, I have joined the PMI and I will take the PMP exam. There's real value in becoming more professional even if we don't become a profession.
