Overview

This practical, demo-driven session walks project managers through real applications of AI across the project lifecycle.

You'll see how to automate status reports, meeting notes, and stakeholder updates; how to use AI to forecast schedule and budget outcomes more accurately; and how to optimize resource allocation, risk responses, and scope decisions. The webinar focuses on tools project managers already have access to (ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Microsoft Project, Planner) so attendees can apply what they learn on their next project-no technical background required.

Why you should Attend

Project managers who don’t adopt AI now will quickly be outpaced by peers who can deliver faster status updates, sharper forecasts, and more reliable risk analysis. Manual status reporting, gut-feel estimates, and reactive risk management are no longer competitive in an environment where PMOs are being measured on speed and predictability. Attendees who can’t demonstrate practical AI fluency may find themselves passed over for senior PM, program, and portfolio roles.

Areas Covered in the Session

  • The AI landscape for PMs: ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, and embedded PM-tool features
  • Automating status reports, meeting minutes, and stakeholder communications
  • AI-assisted estimation: schedule, effort, and budget forecasting
  • Building risk registers and risk-response plans with AI support
  • Resource optimization, capacity planning, and workload balancing
  • Using AI to draft project charters, scope statements, and change requests
  • Prompt patterns for PMs: project briefs, lessons learned, and executive summaries
  • Integrating AI with Microsoft Project, Planner, Jira, Asana, and Smartsheet
  • Governance, confidentiality, and stakeholder trust when using AI on projects
  • Live Q&A and a takeaway prompt library for project-management use cases
