Hi PMI Community! I’m Sarah Philbrick, and I work as a Product Manager at PMI with a focus on our learning offerings. As we go on this skill-building journey together, I’m excited to engage in meaningful conversations, explore trending topics, and learn from each other.
Reflecting on one such topic, GenAI and prompt engineering, I am interested to hear your perspective on commoditization vs. differentiation.
Will the widespread adoption of prompt engineering commoditize project management skills, or can it help PMs differentiate themselves and command higher value?
I believe that the AI like Infinity must elevate the potential of the PM. Using in the right way we can find opportunities to improve our projects, enhancing the success probability Saving Changes...

In my view, early adopters will have a clear differentiator in correct use, which will drive engineering; however, as PMs use it en masse and AI evolves further, it will be less clear what the future might look like for the industry. Saving Changes...

Widespread adoption will help PMs differentiate their skillsets more so than commoditizing them. GenAI is a tool for PMs to use, it is not a substitute for the PM him/herself. The PM who can effectively leverage GenAI for their benefit of themselves, the organization, and the project will differentiate themselves, not commoditize themselves. Saving Changes...

I believe the adaptation of prompt engineering will increase the value and skills that an experience Project Manager brings to the table. Experienced Project, Portfolio, and Programs managers will need to consistently improve their knowledge, skills, and experiences to provide value to their teams and stakeholders Saving Changes...

I think prompt engineering is another poweful and useful tool that will help to improve the data management, but for now (so far)..., nothing can replace human experience to take decisions based on many other layers rather than pure data analysis Saving Changes...

With this emerging technology of using Generative AI in various disciplines specifically in Project Management, it will commoditize PM skills and differentiate PM as well, given the fluency of one to use an AI platform and come up with appealing output to the audience. Anyway, I am a novice into this journey and so eager to learn more. Saving Changes...
