I particularly agree with this statement. As the lines between project, program, and portfolio vary so greatly from company to company and are so blurred between industries, it is hard to exactly define them. I’ve also had a difficult time looking through the many software solutions claiming to be specific to the type of management it handles. They say things like, “For all your portfolio needs,” or “Manage your tasks with ease,” or “See how successful your programs can be.” (Rhyme not intended.) Because of all this confusion, I think that is why work management is beginning to be chosen over the strict process and definitions of project management and all its related components and disciplines. Work management encompasses all of it in a more dynamic way. It doesn’t dwell on defining the hierarchical structures of work, and just lets people get to the point. I am not saying that everything about project management is debunked. In fact, all of its processes are still applicable, but they function in a more adaptable way.

I hope that helps – thanks for your quesiton!
