Introducing M.O.R.E.
Shape the future of the project profession
As the world becomes more complex and interconnected, project success is no longer defined solely by timelines or budgets - it’s defined by value. PMI’s vision for the profession, M.O.R.E., guides how we think about project leadership and the topics we elevate on our stages.
We’re seeking proposals that reflect the four pillars of M.O.R.E.
Manage Perceptions
- Show how project teams build shared understanding, shape stakeholder expectations, and communicate value clearly and credibly.
Example Practices
- Clearly map how each stakeholder's needs will be addressed
- Maintain a register to track project benefits
- Keep project participants focused on maximizing value
Own Success
- Go beyond requirements. Demonstrate how Project Professionals take accountability for outcomes, alignment, and stakeholder value.
Example Practices
- Collaborate with stakeholders to achieve overall purpose
- Adopt ownership mindset that motivates visible, concrete actions
- Ensure project outcomes are aligned to broader organizational goals
- Share strategies for leading through change, navigating uncertainty, and adapting plans to deliver the greatest impact.
Example Practices
- Monitor changes in environment to identify emerging risks or opportunities
- Continually look to better utilize technology
- Evaluate whether project success remains visible
- Explore the broader context–enterprise priorities, industry shifts, community impact, and the wider world.
Example Practices
- Champion and repurpose learning across projects

- Explore implications to broader society
