Very good article, Trend 1 is really the top concern now.
My only comment would be related to Trend 8) Project Managers Are Accountable for More Than the Result only. Why?
Usually, the Project Manager “PM” hands-over the result to a responsible business person at project buyer organization – because PM is usually needed for the next project. There are responsibilities of:
– the responsible business person and
– PMO (or, project portfolio management unit).
The responsible business person (in optimal situation) had initiated originally the project idea to get it approved as project for realization and should work with the project output, together with his/her colleagues further to bring the benefits of the project realized (e.g., better product competitiveness via value-added features in service-oriented industries). So, the responsible business person should be accountable for bringing the benefits from the investment / the project realized.
PMO should be responsible for the definition of data needed (together with the responsible business person) before the project justification and approval – and also for checking the situation after the project end to get the required data for the benefits evaluation, This evaluation should be submitted to the same Committee which had approved the project. In optimal situation, the benefits realization should be tied to certain part of annual bonus of the responsible business person.
Above process would be sign of high PM & PPM maturity level. In reality, at least from my experience, there has been always fierce opposition of responsible business persons to get accounted for the projected benefits / results, drafted by themselves in competition with other project proposals to get their proposal to be realized as project (in other words, most of them inflated expected benefits a lot ;-). From outside it seems that Google has mastered above process – so no wonder they are so successful.

Trend 1) Complete resource plans wanted – Very good input
Trend 2) Sharing Knowledge Will Take You Further – Necessary
Trend 3) Fixed teams deliver better results – Absolutely necessary
Trend 4) Cross-Company Projects Favor Cloud Solutions – Yes, when it is possible
Trend 5) More Customer Projects with Agile Implementation – May be
Trend 6) Traditional and agile tools are best used together – Yes, I already did it and was a very good solution
Trend 7) Open-ended results deliver greater benefits – Not always
Trend 8) Project managers, as communication experts, are accountable for the benefit – Necessary most of the times
Trend 9) Change management concurrent to project management – Necessary
Trend 10) PMO bears greater responsibility – Yes, good input
Trend 11) Cultural change towards accepting successful failure – Necessary
Trend 12) Change is acceptable if you understand why it’s needed – Why, when and how
Very good article

Thanks Alim, glad you liked the article! yes I think we tend to forget in our attempt to optimize and find new ways – that we might profit even more if we take a hybrid approach and profit from 2 point of views instead of just one.

The last point had made me recollect one more perspective b/w settlers and new comers to a project.
