AI and the Project Manager: How the Rise of Artificial Intelligence Will Change Your World - 1st Edition by Peter Taylor (Author) (2021)
This comprehensive book on artificial intelligence (AI) addresses the impact of AI on project management, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize the field and enable project managers to concentrate on human aspects. Predictions suggest that by 2030, 80 percent of project management tasks, including data collection and predictive analysis, will be efficiently handled by AI. The book aims to explore the implications of this shift for project managers globally, offering insights and examples from tech providers and project experts. Targeting PMO leaders, change executives, project managers, program managers, and portfolio managers, it serves as a valuable resource for those in the change and project leadership community, guiding them on how to leverage AI for enhanced project success.
