PMI Launches AI-powered Assistant for PMs
“By 2030, 80 percent of the work of today’s project management (PM) discipline will be eliminated as (AI) takes on traditional PM functions such as data collection, tracking and reporting, according to Gartner, Inc.” https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2019-03-20-gartner-says-80-percent-of-today-s-project-management
PMI has launched PMIxAI hub to meet present and future demand for project managers who can leverage AI to accelerate timelines, monitor quality, and prevent scope creep. Visit the PMI page here: https://www.pmi.org/explore/ai-in-project-management
Resource allocation, scheduling, project planning, resource demand predictive analytics, cost estimation, and many other tasks can and will be handled by AI.

I’ve recorded a few videos as exercises to show you the power of ChatGPT for doing a few of the more common project management tasks. For instance, you can run quick calculations for EV, AC, PV, SPI, CPI EAC, and VAC:
This PMI GPT would’ve been incredibly handy as I studied for my CAPM certification. I was using Google, and then cutting and pasting terms into a spreadsheet with the definitions, and a link to artifacts that I could access quickly. By the way, if you’d like a copy of that spreadsheet, just fill out the Contact Us form, and I’ll gladly email it to you for free.
Just query the GPT for any project management term or concept:

If you want to try a few of these terms in the chat, here’s a complete list of terms you’d need to know to pass the PMP or CAPM:
