The AI Edge for PMs: The Beginner's AI Playbook for Project Managers (The AI Edge Series)

AI is not coming for your job. But the project manager who knows how to use AI might be coming for your projects. AI tools are already being used by project managers every day for writing status reports and building risk registers in minutes, as well as creating planning documents and running sharper meetings with less effort. The PMs who have figured this out are getting more done, with less stress, and delivering higher quality work.

This playbook is for every project manager who knows they should probably be using AI but has not quite figured out where to start, or who tried it once and found it either overwhelming or underwhelming.

Every chapter includes ready-to-use prompts designed specifically for project managers, with real-world examples you can apply immediately.
