218: How Will AI Affect Project Managers? with Scott Ambler

Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! PMI Talent Triangle: Ways of Working (Technical Project Management) Hey, IMPACT Driver! The fear of losing your job to automation is nothing new, but it’s getting pretty real nowadays. A concern that was once confined to the customer service industry is now expanding far beyond it, and PMs could soon be next on the chopping block.  In this episode, I’ll be discussing this new reality with IMPACT Summit Speaker and Agile Thought Leader, Scott Ambler. He predicts that most PM work will be automated with AI by 2030.  So, how does this affect the role of a project manager and the PMO? Will AI expand the possibilities for PMs, or will it render the profession obsolete?   One thing is for sure: things will change, and you should be ready to adapt.   Register for this year’s IMPACT Summit for FREE to learn more about the future of project management.
