AI is rapidly changing the mechanics of project management. It can draft a charter, build the first version of a plan, summarize a meeting, analyze project risks, challenge a status report, and prepare an executive update. But the most important question is not what AI can produce.
It is whether AI helps us lead and deliver better. Over the next ten posts, I will explore where AI can create meaningful value across project and portfolio management, including: • Project charters and standard artifacts • Integrated project plans • Status reporting and risk intelligence • Meeting decisions and organizational memory • Monthly technology leadership meetings • Executive portfolio updates • Quarterly business reviews These topics reflect work I have performed throughout my career: building PMO standards, establishing governance, improving portfolio visibility, and translating complex delivery information into clear executive communication. My perspective is straightforward.
AI should reduce administrative friction, reveal patterns sooner, and improve the quality of information available to leaders. It should not obscure accountability or replace judgment. That is the focus of The AI Delivery Compass: using artificial intelligence to create greater clarity, stronger alignment, and more reliable execution.
