What topics would you be interested in seeing on the discussion thread?

Very interesting question and thank you Rami!

I agree that AI questions get a bit too much emphasis. While I'm always willing to help out especially on the technical side of the PMI triangle, what I find most challenging are the leadership and strategy sides.

The best idea in the world will go nowhere unless you can get others to embrace that idea themselves and bring that thought to the next level.

Even though I have many years of experience and a lot of training in leadership skills, it still does take a lot of very intentional effort. Whether I have a critical 20 minutes with a room full of execs, or a room full of factory workers who's jobs I'm trying to change, there is a great deal of planning involved. Either one can make or break my project.

To me the most interesting discussions are not so much how to make a good dashboard or develop a KPI, but rather how to get your target audience to listen when that is the one factor which makes all the difference between success and failure.

Rami,

100% agree that AI has sucked up a lot of the space in this discussion group. I'd have thought my post from last week about PMI's Pulse of the Profession findings would draw more eyeballs and comments, but yours was the only one so far. I have to believe that is because topics other than AI are getting drowned in the AI flood.

It would be better if ALL AI threads were moved to a separate group the way that certification-related posts were. The volume in this group would come back down to what it was a year or so back, but there'd be a greater diversity of topics.

Thanks for the question.

Quality management in projects is a topic that is rarely touched upon. Acceptance procedures, testing and inspection schedules, implementing continuous improvement as part of the project development - these topics need a deep understanding of projects, processes, and quality, and I would welcome those in this forum.

Hi Keith, well said. I have worked mostly in Not-for-profit organizations in humanitarian settings, the context and the belief system of your stakeholders and beneficiaries matter more than the best science-based KPIs.
By the after so many years not for profit organizations, i have a feeling that the weakest element in terms of program is "risk management" aspect. Any good practice would help me

Rami, while AI discussions are "hot", I'm interested in and can contribute to topics like , career development, risk management, pmo, strategy and executive management.

Since joining this community, career development has become an important discussion thread for me, as it was my entry point into the project management journey. Initially, I joined to learn, but now my focus has shifted to supporting others.
