Changes in the socio-economic environment, pandemics and artificial intelligence are fundamentally affecting the way we work, bringing opportunities and new approaches to project management. Despite all the technological advances, the human still remains at the heart of the matter. How can we empower our people and increase the productivity of our project teams? Integrated project and portfolio management systems that include not only system management but also a team communication environment and a flexible platform that can be adapted to the needs of specific projects can help.
Using examples in the Microsoft environment, we will introduce modern project management concepts. We will demonstrate the capabilities and features brought by the new Microsoft Project, including the use of Copilot for Project. We will discuss what are the prerequisites for using AI in project portfolio management.
After this hands-on workshop, you’ll be able to start planning projects in the new Microsoft Project and gain insight into how to use it for team collaboration.
