Interview Project Management Expert – Peter Taylor
– about AI in Project Management

Peter Taylor, a seasoned project management expert and author of The Lazy Project Manager and AI and Project Management, discusses AI’s transformative potential in the field. He highlights practical use cases like automated meeting minutes and language translation but cautions against hype and data privacy risks. Taylor emphasizes AI as a tool to free project managers for people-centric work, urging professionals to embrace learning and ethical AI integration.

Key Points:

• AI can automate tedious tasks (e.g., meeting transcripts, translations) but requires human oversight.
• Challenges include data privacy, hype, and over-reliance on unvetted tools.
• AI should enhance—not replace—project managers, enabling focus on people and strategy.
• Professionals should stay curious, engage with AI responsibly, and avoid resistance to change.
• Ethical considerations and quality data are critical for AI adoption.

Keynote speaker and coach, Peter is the author of the number 1 bestselling project management book ‘The Lazy Winning Project Manager’, along with many other books. He has built and led some of the largest PMOs in the world, now Dayforce, where he is the VP Global PMO. He has also delivered over 500 lectures around the world in 27 countries and has been described as ‘perhaps the most entertaining and inspiring speaker in the project management world today’.
