I am astounded by how many ways I can use GenAI to optimize my workflows and day to day tasks. I'm hoping to not only get more comfortable using AI but also dive further in how to augment my work with it.

The use of generative AI had become a very important aspect in daily work since it accelerates and maybe also improves results by simply using a huge amount of data. Personally, a real succes story was, that a regular request causing an effort from one to two working days had reduced to minutes.
On the other side, aspects as there are stressed in the Data Landscape Course of PMI couldn´t be more underlined more by means of be careful which data to share but also to make at least a few random samples to your usual behavior instead of simply accepting the results and share them with others.
I had been extensively using GenAI during planning, executing, monitoring & controlling and closing phase of my various projects which is managed by my team//
In construction projects, I am already using AI as a personal assistant and to help fill gaps in my team’s capabilities. It supports me in handling many time-consuming tasks, significantly reducing the time and manpower required for routine activities and allowing the team to focus more on critical project priorities.

Yes, I have had very good results regarding the time it takes to develop consulting sessions in Project Management, that is, I have obtained consolidated information about a specific topic in a very short time, however I have had to review and adjust the information since AI makes some mistakes. Perhaps the question should have been much more explanatory and contextual, but even so, my experience is that I lose a lot of time giving more details and the result is not always what I am looking for. I have found that I save more time by drafting the query in a more concise way and then correcting the information that AI provides. Saving Changes...
I've been using GenAI to help with brainstorming, developing articles and communication templates, and do some project management excel worksheet building. I've been able to produce documents much faster and increase my efficiency.
I agree, in my case is the same, the most value for me was the less time to do my work. Saving Changes...

I've been using GenAI to help with brainstorming, developing articles and communication templates, and do some project management excel worksheet building. I've been able to produce documents much faster and increase my efficiency.
I am using AI for creating project templates and communication. Would like to expand into areas that will provide a path for maturity for project management, but somewhat limited by company policy on use of AI.
On a plant commissioning project, I used Gen AI to consolidate punch lists, inspection records, and daily progress reports into clear status summaries and flag recurring issues across systems. The data was key: consistent tagging of equipment and punch items made the output reliable. The benefit was faster reporting and earlier visibility of bottlenecks before handover. The challenges were inconsistent field data, the need to verify every AI output against site reality, and keeping client information confidential. Gen AI handled the groundwork, while engineering judgment stayed with the team Saving Changes...

I have been in Project Management for 15 years, but recently took on a position with a government entity managing grant funded projects. AI has been invaluable in building project plans that include all mandated reporting deadlines and filling in gaps where my past experience did not fully prepare me for the scope of these larger construction projects. The process is certainly not perfect and a good deal of additional work was required to complete the plans, but AI was able to jump start the process and remove days from the plan building process.
