In the last 6 months, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transitioned from an academic topic to a tangible reality, particularly evident with advancements like ChatGPT, Google BARD, Meta Llama and the proliferation of AI Apps. This significant development is poised to revolutionize the field of Project Management as we speak.

The impact of AI on team performance and project outcomes will be substantial, positioning early adopters of AI tools as frontrunners in the field.
According to a survey conducted by Harvard Business Review, administrative tasks consume 54% of a project manager's time. These mundane tasks, universally disliked by project managers, can be optimized through the use of artificial intelligence. By streamlining these tasks, project managers can redirect their focus towards delivering value and providing unparalleled solutions.
Examples of such tasks span various knowledge areas of project management, including follow-ups, meeting minutes, risk identification, issue analysis, budgeting, schedule management, and resource assignment. The presenter will explore these areas in detail, showcasing real AI applications that the audience can begin leveraging immediately.
Furthermore, the presenter will emphasize the key areas in project management where project managers must concentrate their efforts to bring value. Soft skills play a vital role, as human project managers will excel by harnessing AI tools to handle routine tasks. These skills include the ability to unlearn and relearn, motivate team members, build trusting relationships, negotiate effectively, ideate, demonstrate empathy, and rely on intuition. Such changes are inevitable and will fundamentally transform current project management practices. Are you prepared for the future?
