The Practitioner Family
The Practitioners – where we explore the diverse archetypes within the project management landscape.

Whether you’re an aspiring project manager or a seasoned professional, understanding these archetypes can help you identify your current position and guide your career trajectory. Join us as we explain the unique characteristics and skillsets that define each category. As well as providing insights into the progression and expectations within the field of project management.
The Stakeholder Family
The Stakeholders – where we look into the core archetypes of project managers, focusing on the vital soft skills that drive successful project outcomes. This section explores four distinct subcategories: Project Executive, Business Leader, Program Manager, and PMO Manager. Each archetype plays a unique role in shaping the success of projects, from setting the strategic vision to managing intricate details. Understanding these archetypes will give you a clearer perspective on the diverse skills and competencies required to navigate the complex landscape of project management.
The Contender Family
The Contenders – where we explore project management through the lens of soft skills and unconventional pathways. Not every project manager follows a traditional route, and that’s what makes this field so dynamic and diverse. This page introduces four distinct archetypes that capture a broader spectrum of project management talent: Project Support, the Informal Project Manager, the Student/Graduate, and the Career Change. Whether you’re transitioning from a support role, stepping into leadership without the formal title, fresh out of school, or coming from a completely different career, there’s a place for you in project management.
