Over the past year, we've seen AI tools rapidly improve in areas such as scheduling, reporting, risk analysis, meeting summaries, documentation, and stakeholder communications.
Many tasks that traditionally consumed a project manager's time can now be automated or significantly accelerated.
This raises an interesting question:
As AI becomes more capable, will project managers become more valuable because they can focus on leadership, decision-making, and stakeholder engagement? Or will organizations need fewer project managers as administrative and coordination tasks become increasingly automated?
Which project management responsibilities do you believe are most likely to be automated in the next five years?
And which skills will become even more important for future project managers?
I'm interested in hearing perspectives from PMs across different industries, including construction, engineering, IT, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing.
