How would a bunch of intelligent machines make stuff happen? How are military drones eliminating targets? Search - select - execute - confirm.

Technical PM is prone to be taken over by systems, a process can be put into a workflow, results can be digitized and lesson learned can be used for self improvements. Who is calculating a critical path manually today? Could a system trigger work authorizations, check deliverables, analyze deviations from the plan? Yup. Business acumen is meant to make business decisions, set strategies and objectives, observe the environment and respond to changes.
