Overview:

AI is moving fast, and project managers are being asked to use it before anyone has explained how. This grounded session cuts through the noise: where AI genuinely helps a PM today, where it doesn’t, and how to use it responsibly.

Through live-style examples, attendees see AI draft plans and status updates, summarize meetings, surface risks, and assist with estimates - and learn the judgment to keep a human firmly in the loop.

Why you should Attend:

  • A starter set of PM prompts to reuse immediately
  • A simple "where AI helps / where it hurts" map for project work
  • A short checklist for using AI safely and ethically

Areas Covered in the Session:

  • The honest landscape - what today’s AI tools do well for PMs, and where they fail or mislead
  • High-value use cases - drafting plans and charters, status reports, meeting summaries, risk brainstorming, first-pass estimates
  • Prompting like a PM - giving AI the context, role, and constraints to get usable output
  • Humans in the loop - reviewing, fact-checking, and owning the decisions AI never should
  • Risk and responsibility - data privacy, confidentiality, bias, and accuracy, with simple team ground rules

Who Will Benefit:

  • Project Managers and team leads curious about AI, from total beginners to early experimenters - no technical background needed
