Artificial Intelligence is changing the way Project Managers plan, analyse, communicate and make decisions. In this practical two-hour session, participants discover how Generative AI can support everyday Project Management activities — from project initiation and planning to risk management, reporting and stakeholder communication. The focus is not on replacing the Project Manager, but on using AI as a project copilot to accelerate repetitive work, challenge assumptions and improve the quality of project information. Agenda (2 hours) 15 min — AI and the Future of Project Management: Generative AI, automation vs. augmentation, what AI can and cannot do, evolving PM role 20 min — Prompting for Project Managers: Role, Context, Task, Constraints and Output; turning vague requests into professional prompts 30 min — AI Across the Project Lifecycle: Project Charter, requirements, WBS, planning, risks, assumptions, issues and stakeholder communication 35 min — Live Project Management Challenge: Structure a project, identify risks, challenge assumptions, prepare a management update and stakeholder message 10 min — Human Oversight & Responsible Use: Hallucinations, sensitive data, validation and accountability 10 min — Key Takeaways & Q&A: Reusable techniques and practical next steps Session format: Concepts → Use Cases → Live Demonstration → Practical Challenge → Q&A Key message: AI will not manage the project for you. Project Managers who use AI effectively can spend less time producing information and more time analysing, deciding and leading.
