Project managers are exploring AI tools like ChatGPT, but most are stopping at prompt engineering—writing one-off requests to help with emails, reports, or meeting summaries. That’s a good start, but there’s so much more we can do.
In this one-hour session, I’ll walk you through what I see as the next step for project managers: going beyond prompts to build and automate with AI. I’ll share practical examples of how we can design simple AI tools, automate repetitive workflows, and start thinking more strategically about how AI fits into our projects.
This talk is for PMs who want to move past the hype and start using AI in a more meaningful, hands-on way.
3 Key Takeaways
- What good prompt engineering looks like—and where it falls short
- How to build simple AI agents and workflows without being a developer
- What you can start automating in your projects right now
Meet Your Presenter - Dr. Carl Peters
I’m a PMP-certified project manager with a background in research, data science, and a lifelong interest in tech. After years of using Python, R, and LaTeX in scientific work, I became fascinated by AI—especially its potential beyond prompting. I recently completed the IBM AI Developer Professional Certificate and now focus on helping PMs explore practical, hands-on ways to work smarter with AI.
