synopsis
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the types of projects we are delivering and how we are managing them. Over the next three years, project professionals expect the proportion of projects they address using AI to jump from 23 percent to 37 percent (AI Innovators: Cracking the Code on Project Performance, PMI, 2019). The payoff could be substantial as AI technologies are already contributing to higher productivity and better quality. By 2022 AI created more than US$2.9 trillion of business value and billion hours of worker productivity globally. In today’s increasingly projectized economy, the most forward-thinking organizations realize their strategy hinges on how well they can execute projects, and the race toward AI mastery is no exception. In summary, AI is the future of project management. Are you ready?
This four-day course uses several real-life cases of AI at work in project management. This course will explain how AI is changing project management practices, what obstacles we need to overcome, and how project managers can prepare themselves to stay relevant in a fully integrated, automated, and predictive project management world. We try to bridge the gap between AI technology and project management methodology, development approach, and project management processes.
