Data-Driven Decisions in Project Management - AI Myths and Reality

10:40 - 11:00

Data-driven decision-making in project management ensures that choices are guided by rigorous data analysis rather than intuition alone. By leveraging data, project managers gain valuable insights, optimize processes, and enhance project outcomes. Real-world applications include risk assessment, resource allocation, project forecasting, and quality control. Challenges involve data quality, bias mitigation, and privacy considerations.
The human-AI partnership emphasizes collaboration and continuous learning.

Reskilling Psychology

11:00 - 11:20

The What: Reskilling psychology explains how humans learn and adapt to always changing environment.
The Why: Common challenges at reskilling: no motivation, slow learning, stable believes or unconscious repeated patterns. There are ways to improve it. Psychological principals can support managers in this process.
The Benefit: Knowing how the brain works, how we learn and change habits can help PMs & PMOs to plan and influence faster learning in their project members.

Project Manager vs Product Manager: Overlapping, Conflicting or Enriching

11:20 - 11:40

Being in agile set up within SEB Baltic for couple of year where Product managers and Project managers cocreate, we have our leanings to share:
- dynamic teams vs fixed teams
- scope management vs roadmaps
- short term vs long term
- partners vs opponents

Keynote: PMI Infinity, in Action - Leverage AI in Your Project Management Practices Effectively

11:40 - 12:10

This presentation will explore PMI Infinity, the groundbreaking AI-driven project management tool developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI). The session will provide an in-depth look at how PMI Infinity integrates advanced artificial intelligence to revolutionize project management practices. Attendees will gain hands-on experience with PMI Infinity's use cases and functionalities. Additionally, we will present the development process of PMI Infinity, offering insights and lessons learned that can benefit anyone in the audience considering developing their own AI tools.

In today's fast-paced business environment, project managers face increasing pressure to deliver projects on time and within budget while managing complex variables and uncertainties. Traditional project management tools often fail to provide the predictive insights and real-time adaptability needed for success. This presentation tackles the critical question of how AI can be effectively integrated into project management to drive efficiency and innovation and shares the development journey to inspire and guide others.

By attending this session, participants will learn how to harness the power of PMI Infinity to transform their project management routines. Key takeaways include:

- Understanding the core functionalities of PMI Infinity and how it augments a project manager’s daily tasks.
- Acquiring hands-on experience with the tool to better understand its potential.
- Learning about the development process behind PMI Infinity, including best practices and key considerations for developing AI tools.

Executives Readiness to Transition from Traditional to AI-Enhanced Portfolio Governance

13:50 - 14:10

AI's emerging digital disruption presents opportunities and challenges for portfolio, program, and project management. This presentation explores the transition from traditional methods to AI-enhanced approaches, using insights from my research on the readiness of company leadership and executives for AI disruption in portfolio management.
As AI reshapes the landscape, readiness to leverage AI becomes crucial for everyone. Our research reveals significant skill gaps that need addressing. By focusing on developing the necessary skills, we aim to bridge these gaps and prepare professionals for the future with AI and Little PM books are a small part of nurturing these skills for kids.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into AI integration in portfolio management, learn about the current readiness of executives to embrace AI, and understand the importance of developing essential skills for future technological advancements. The presentation will highlight key research findings and share practical strategies for navigating AI-driven changes in the field.

Keynote: Beyond the Event Horizon: the Future of Project Management in an AI-Driven World

14:10 - 14:40

This Keynote will attempt the framing of the implications of AI for Project Managers, not only in the present, but also in the future, to define what “The AI-Augmented Project Manager” would look like.
As we struggle to project what the future will look like due to AI, we will go beyond this “Event Horizon” and talk about the opportunities (increased efficiency, productivity, enhanced decision-making, etc.), but also the challenges (ethical considerations, potential job displacements, balance between AI autonomy and human oversight) posed by an AI-Driven world.
The Benefit: Attendees will understand how to equip themselves with critical skills for the future (data literacy, AI tools proficiency, critical thinking) and the role of continuous learning and flexibility in adapting to future challenges).
