Welcome to episode 10 of The Everyday PM Podcast where we talk about women in project management.
Statistics available from the Project Management Institute (PMI) show that "women currently constitute an estimated 20–30% of the project management staff worldwide." What is causing this imbalance in gender equality across the industry? Christina Olivarria, MSPM, PMP, HACP, LBBP, Project Manager/Communications Manager at Yellow Brick Consulting, Inc. and Brenda Love, MSPM, CSM, Principal Project Manager at Genentech, join me to discuss what qualities make for a good project manager, how women inherently possess the super powers to make great project managers, and if women will begin to tip the scale as the project management industry grows more and more diverse.
How do you feel about the gender disparity in the project management industry? What is the future of women in project management? Feel free to drop a comment within this post with your thoughts.
