AI agents are here – and they’re changing how we deliver projects
|
Hello Reader, There’s been so much noise about AI in the last couple of years, but lately the conversation has shifted. It’s not just about getting clever answers from chatbots anymore – it’s about AI agents. These aren’t just tools you query. They’re AI “teammates” that can learn your way of working, adapt to your project context, and collaborate with you to get things done. If you’re wondering what that looks like in the real world – and what it means for how we manage work – there’s a free online event coming up that I think you’ll enjoy. 📅 Date: 24 September, 10am EDT / 3pm BST / 4pm CEST 🎤 Speakers:
It's an online event run by Creatio, a global software company that provides an agentic platform for CRM and workflow automation with no-code and AI at its core. But it's less sales pitch and more thought-leadership session on the transformation of business and society in the age of AI. You'll explore:
As project managers, we’re often the ones bridging strategy and execution – which means understanding these shifts early is a real advantage. I’ll be tuning in, notebook in hand. If you’re ready to get beyond the AI hype and into the “how this actually works” territory, you can register here: 👉 Register here for the free event Have a great week! Best wishes, Elizabeth P.S. The event is free but you need to register, and I have to tell you for transparency reasons that I've partnered with Creatio to bring you this email. Hope you enjoy it! |

Hello Reader, Last week I co-hosted a webinar with Office Timeline, sharing tips about how to speed up making Gantt charts, roadmaps, schedules and timelines in PowerPoint.

Hello Reader, If you’ve ever had to wing it as the business analyst on a project, I’ve got a book recommendation for you. It’s called The Value-Driven Business Analyst by Laura Brandenburg, and while it’s written for BAs, I think it’s one of the most practical books out there for project managers. Laura’s 8-Step Business Analysis Process is basically a cheat sheet for getting to the real value behind any project. It's perfect for PMs who: Want to work effectively with the BA on the team Don’t...
Hello Reader, One of the things that comes up often with new members of Project Management Rebels is how to facilitate a project meeting without knowing anything about what anyone else is talking about. Especially at the beginning, you’re not an expert. So you have very little to contribute in terms of content or helpful insights. What you can do is own the job you actually have and facilitate the process. Think about how you can add value with your comments without simply agreeing. You can...
