AI for Project Managers

Project teams now use AI to draft charters and status reports, break plans into tasks, log risks and summarize meetings, so project managers need training to use these tools well, check their output and lead AI projects.

Why it matters: 62% more pay. Jobs that ask for AI skills pay 62% more, on average, than the same jobs without them. (PwC Global AI Jobs Barometer, 2026)
