PM Game On!
Host Kendall Lott, along with guests Galen Low and Mike Hannon, discuss the evolving role of project managers (PMs) in the age of AI, emphasizing the need for PMs to adapt to stay relevant. While AI can handle routine administrative tasks, it cannot replace the strategic thinking, human relationship-building, and ethical decision-making that PMs provide. The conversation highlights the importance of shifting from task management to a strategic focus, where PMs are seen as leaders who drive business value. We like the right training, as we need more strategic thinking, business context, and ROI understanding. Effective PMs must bridge the gap between executive vision and project execution, fostering collaboration and communication to align projects with broader organizational goals. In the face of AI tools, which of course we should incorporate in our work, PMs need to be ambassadors for their discipline in an increasingly automated world.
