Is anyone managing really high-tech projects?

Tim PM Project Manager| NHS Yes, United Kingdom

Just being curious- has anyone on here managed any high-tech / leading edge projects recently? I have been reading some articles about tech achievements in healthcare, such as using Artificial Intelligence for digital pathology interpretation, enabling patients to access care providers using Amazon's Alexa, and the creation of robotic prostheses, and wondered if anyone on here is managing anything high-tech that they would like to tell us about & how they manage these projects.

Firstly I manage software projects but did not work on any project using these technologies. Yes, having technical and domain knowledge would definitely add value but I don't think it should be anything different in managing projects using the technologies you mentioned or as such any technology.

Depends what you understand and how you define "really high-tech". If in your understanding SAP S4/HANA belongs to this category, than yes, I am.

High tech projects usually mean there are only a few experts available, and perhaps each expert is only the expertise in his/her area. In other words the PM is likely to manage a group of experts from different background. The trick is how to connect them together. My opinion is to have a technical solution architect, someone who has a reasonable understanding of all parts and can technically link up the whole project. And so the PM can concentrate on the project management part.

Agree with Stephane, confidentiality will prevent interesting answer here.
High-tech is not precise!
Maybe too busy to read discussion :-)
