Most PMs are drowning in AI hype and unsure where to start. That confusion is already costing precious time. On March 12, I’m sitting down with Justin Bateh, PhD for a free 30-minute fireside chat on Maven. The topic: how project managers can actually use AI right now. Not a vendor pitch. Not a demo reel. A real conversation between a PM practitioner and an AI engineering leader. Here’s what we’ll cover: 🔸 Breaking down the AI landscape for PMs ↳ Gen AI, agents, automation, agentic workflows ↳ In plain language 🔸 Where AI delivers real-time savings today ↳ Which PM tasks are worth automating now ↳ And which ones are still better left alone 🔸 How to filter AI hype from what works ↳ A practical lens for evaluating tools ↳ So you spend time on what actually helps projects move 🔸 How to stay relevant as AI changes PM work ↳ Where project management is headed ↳ And how to position yourself for it 🎯 Why this matters right now ↳ AI is changing how teams plan, communicate, and execute. ↳ Project managers who understand how to apply it will lead that shift. ↳ Those who don’t will spend the next few years trying to catch up. Justin has trained 25,000+ professionals from Microsoft, J&J, and Medtronic on project execution and AI fluency. I’ll bring the practitioner side of applying AI systems in real workflows. Together, we’ll make this practical. 30 minutes. Free. Virtual. Thursday, March 12 at 3:30 PM UTC.
