A great way for PMs to practice using AI in their daily routines! I'm glad I logged in today and ran into this. This will also help me prepare for the PMP and job interviews. PMs need to get involved now so we're not left behind, lots of change is coming! Saving Changes...
Great to hear, Laura. Is PMI Infinity using the GPT-4 engine? I'm not a paid ChatGPT subscriber but I was able to use it so I'm assuming that either it is a 3.5 engine or somehow is not requiring users to have paid for access to the v4 model.

Hello Kiron, PMI Infinity is currently leveraging GPT3.5 while we are testing GPT4 Turbo in beta. You do not need any special access; once launched, all members will have free access to Infinity with GPT4 Turbo. (You may want to cancel your chatgpt plus subscription :) )

Thanks Laura! I'm assuming once the current beta on GPT 4 has been completed, it would require users to have a paid subscription? That's a pity as it'd be great to see the improvement in predictions and responses with the more capable engine.

Is Infinity in its prod environment still on GPT 3.5? Or it has already switched to 4.0?

Kiron: not necessarily because we would use our own environment. But we are still trying to have one!
Long term it will depend on the cost for PMI - because it will cost us every time our users use the platform and we do not know yet if we can sustain it. Hopefully we can, for our members.

Laura Schofield: This is a great tool and I am sure it will add value to many. I have a few questions though:
1) I did pose a question but didn't find the option to provide more detailed input via a pop-up window. Where can I find this?
2) When you move to GPT4, as paid PMI members, do we need to pay for the ChatGBT subscription to use the Infinity Tool?
I did ask PMI Infinity the following simple question: If the risk will occur for sure, what is the probability of occurrence? The answer was pretty good. I will try to ask more sophisticated questions later.

Hello Rami, hope things are good. Let me clarify your questions:
1. 1) I did pose a question but didn't find the option to provide more detailed input via a pop-up window. Where can I find this? - We do not have a separate pop-up window. The chatbox should expand to the length of your prompt,so that you can read all your text. If you do not see this behaviour, please let me know.
2) When you move to GPT4, as paid PMI members, do we need to pay for the ChatGBT subscription to use the Infinity Tool? - No, it'll still be free. You do not need a ChatGPT subscription for PMI Infinity; it is needed only to access the Infinity exam simulator on the GPT store.
I tried it, but currently the training data appears to greatly limit the output.
I asked several questions ranging from technical subjects such as importance of money flow, how Monte Carlo simulation works, and what are derived requirements, as well as general questions like why certification is beneficial. Only 1-3 PMI articles were cited per response with an average of about 2.5.
Some parts of responses were interesting, others showed significant bias. Responses citing only 1 article went well astray, presumably to make a longer answer out of what was available.
I really like the fact that it cites the sources used, but that also reveals the very limited dataset. When the typical articles used are less than 500 words, and only 1-3 articles match the subject, it is a very limited set of training data to work with.

Hello Keith, we have over 14,000 documents uploaded to our knowledge base, the citations shown are the ones that had the closest match to the prompt requested. I welcome you to share more feedback on [email protected].

Kristin Lovett you can access PMI Infinity here: Infinity.pmi.org, and login with your pmi.org credentials.
You should probably clarify on the architecture behind PMI Infinity. Some answers are "powered by OpenAI's GPT" while others are "powered by PMI proprietary content". I tried a line of questions that led to this peak confusion answer:
Me: Are you PMI Infinity?
Answer: No, I am not PMI Infinity. I am an AI language model assistant developed by OpenAI. PMI Infinity is a platform designed to support project managers in their professional development by providing them with a reliable and trustworthy knowledge base built using PMI's expansive catalog of proprietary project management content. My purpose is to assist users with their queries and provide helpful responses based on the available resources and knowledge.

Prompt: A new multi-million-dollar highways is being built in the most condense area in the city. It will involve 200 vendors and the project must be completed within 18 months. There is a major issue with materials and some of the products must be manufactured and shipped from another country. Write a business case for this project.
Result:
To successfully complete this project, it is important to define the global scope and align the various vendors throughout the phases of the program lifecycle. An integrated program plan encompassing all the critical milestones for all vendors needs to be evolved during the program initiation phase. This can be done by working with the global project sponsor(s) and steering committee to determine the high-level scope and goals, by having an executive-level strategy workshop involving key stakeholders of all the vendors, and by highlighting the “business case” for the entire program. The outcome of this workshop should mandatorily contain a master program plan and a master requirements document. Cross-cultural awareness training is a mandatory requirement for effective collaboration while developing the project charter and should be planned during the kickoff event. Due to multiple vendor teams with multi-cultural backgrounds participating in the program, it's a prerequisite to ensure proper communication among the teams. Also, a comprehensive communication plan and issues/risks mitigation plan needs to be finalized and agreed upon by all stakeholders.
Here are some key points to consider when writing a business case for this project:
- Define the project scope and goals, including the timeline for completion and the budget.
- Identify the materials that need to be manufactured and shipped from another country, and develop a plan to ensure timely delivery.
- Identify the risks associated with the project, including potential delays or cost overruns, and develop a plan to mitigate these risks.
- Develop a plan for managing the 200 vendors involved in the project, including communication and collaboration strategies.
- Identify the benefits of the project, including improved transportation infrastructure and economic growth, and quantify these benefits.
- Develop a plan for measuring the success of the project, including key performance indicators and metrics.
In summary, to successfully complete this project, it is important to define the global scope, align the various vendors, develop an integrated program plan, and ensure effective communication and collaboration among all stakeholders. The business case should identify the project scope, risks, benefits, and success metrics.
