GenAI based Project Management
We wanted to develop a Gen AI solution for Project Management activities like below. Can anyone guide us or help how we can start? We are in the learning phase of Gen AI with MS learn materials & video courses.
- Effort estimation based on task description and technology
- Creating tasks/subtasks/comments in the ERP project module
- Assign the developer/resources based on the skill required
- Monitor the progress of projects & tasks
- Taking follow-up with the developer for particular tasks through task updates, Teams chat & Teams call.
- Create a project progress report and share it with the respective customer through email.
- Make the Teams call with the developer and discuss the progress/challenges (One to one call & group call)
- Attend customer meeting calls, prepare meeting notes and share them with all the participants.
- Make the phone call (VOIP) to employees/developers/customers/contractors for the project/task update.
- Attending customer calls/ Team calls to understand the requirements and create a project scope document.
- Can't wait to hear more about your experiences with GenAI in project management!
- Exploring GenAI-based project management sounds fascinating!
- I'm anxiously awaiting the rollout of the new Planner/Project for the Web. I'm hoping it now can manage dependencies, which was a requirement that kept our team from using Planner for project management.
You may wish to consider dependencies as you work to develop your solution.
Best wishes!"Work the way you and your teams want, from individual task management to large team initiatives. Choose from an array of templates, views, and approaches including lists, boards, timelines, and sprints to personalize your plan. Features such as agile sprint planning, team workload, goals alignment, custom fields, and task history that you use and love today in Project for the web will be available in the new Planner experience."
- Project for the Web manages dependencies. The New Planner is in Public Preview. The new premium projects are just like Project for the Web and require the at least a Project Plan 3 license. So, good news is that the feature has been out for awhile. Bad news is that you still have to have a P3 license to access it.
Dearest techseria,
Kind thanks for the humble opportunity to expound on your ideas. After reading what I consider as a seminal work in the field, Artificial Intelligence, by Charu C. Aggarwal (©2021ISBN 978-3-030-72356-9 Published: 17 July, 2021) and rolling around this work in my own experience as a project manager for a tier 2 IATF/TS16949 supplier, it would seem that your desire is to build a generative AI that will perform the duty of a program manager; a "set it and forget it" type of machine instance. While your ambitions are genuinely supporting the improvement of your organization, I must caution you to remember what gen AI is and what it may be limited in doing. Firstly, Gen AI has 0 ideal permanance, meaning that you could train 10 models on identical datasets and receive vastly differenty results each time. Secondly, an AI is only able to perform within the bound to which it is prescribed, meaning do not expect a Gen AI to ever take the initiative. Ever. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, remember your training from ISO/TS/SAE/JEDEC....What is THE most powerful and influential group in an organization? No, not C-Suite I am happy to say...It is the cross-functional core team. This is where the rubber meets the road, and the sausage is made. Imagine a core team meeting with a gen AI...that would be, intimidating and mildly infuriating, not to mention a likely violation of many Union practices.
I am not at all suggesting that gen AI is a poor PM. I am, however, of the line of thinking that perhaps it is too much too soon. I believe that there needs to be pause and serious cross-organizational discussion, vertically as well as horizontally, regarding the benefit of replacing a role with gen AI. It is a wonderful gift that mankind has bestowed upon ourselves; our responibility to future generations is to be exceedingly judicious in the usage thereof.
