Trend 1: Increase in hybrid project teams
Alan Zucker, Founding Principal of consulting firm Project Management Essentials
“I see interest in hybrid project management continuing to increase in 2025. Interest in agile is waning, and many agilists say it is dead. Hybrid projects combine elements of one or more project approaches. For decades, project managers have pragmatically blended processes and practices based on context and specific project needs.
Hybrid allows project managers to move away from the binary waterfall-agile world to one where patterns of practice include lean, kanban, and DevOps. Successful project managers must make intentional choices when deciding how to execute their projects.”
