October Chapter Meeting (Virtual)
Join us for this month’s chapter meeting, “Agile + AI: How to Do It Without Blowing Up Your Project,” with Greg Smith from GS Solutions Group.
AI is everywhere — and so is the pressure to adopt it fast. But most organizations are rushing from awareness to mandate without a plan, and projects are paying the price. This session gives project managers a practical framework for integrating AI into Agile delivery lifecycles — without the chaos. We’ll cover what AI actually does at each project phase, how to start small and prove value, and the truth about AI and staff reduction. You’ll leave with a realistic, actionable approach you can apply to your next project.
