Project management news from around the world
On May 12, 2026, McKinsey & Company published a global study introducing the "Agile--at--Scale Maturity Index" (ASMI), a methodology for quantifying the financial impact of enterprise--wide agility. The research, covering 500 global corporations, found that organizations scoring in the top quartile of the ASMI—those that successfully transitioned from "Project--Based" to "Product--Centric" operating models—delivered 30% higher Total Shareholder Return (TSR). The methodology provides a framework for "Value--Stream Decoupling," allowing large enterprises to manage complex project portfolios with the speed of a startup while maintaining institutional stability. Key to the ASMI approach is the "Quarterly Value--Capture Audit," which replaces traditional project status reports with direct links to P&L performance.
