Reassess, Reset, Relaunch: Insights from Airbus’ Project Journey
OVERVIEW
In complex organisational environments, knowing when to pause a project can be as critical as knowing how to deliver it. This PMI Queensland chapter event features Airbus sharing real-world insights from its journey of maturing project and PMO practices within highly regulated, safety-critical environments.
The session will explore how disciplined pauses, structured reassessment, and strong governance enable organisations to respond to uncertainty, recalibrate priorities, and ultimately deliver sustainable long-term value. Attendees will gain practical perspectives on decision-making, lessons learned, and how project leaders can balance momentum with strategic judgement.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Pausing is a strategic decision, not a failure - Well-governed project pauses enable organisations to reassess assumptions, manage risk, and protect long-term outcomes.
- Strong governance enables better course correction - Clear decision frameworks and escalation pathways support timely, evidence-based reassessment in complex programs.
- Lessons learned are most valuable when applied early - Capturing and acting on lessons during delivery — not just at project close — strengthens outcomes and organisational maturity.
- PMO maturity supports resilience and adaptability - A mature PMO provides the structure, data, and capability required to navigate uncertainty and changing priorities.
- Leadership judgment matters most in moments of uncertainty - Effective leaders balance delivery pressure with strategic thinking, enabling teams to reset direction with confidence.
