The New AI Powered PM

by T.S. McFather & D. Lynn McFather

Who it’s for

Project managers, PMO leaders, and executives who feel the pressure to “do something with AI” but want a grounded, practical path instead of hype.

What you’ll learn

How AI changes planning, reporting, and risk; how to evolve PM roles; and how to move from manual coordination to intelligent orchestration.

Why now

Organizations that wait will inherit AI decisions made for them. This book helps you lead the change instead of reacting to it.

Inside the Book

For decades, projects have failed not from lack of methodology, but from lack of clarity. Misalignment, politics, and blind spots quietly eat away at even the best-written plans.

The New AI Powered PM shows how AI can change that—by exposing patterns humans can’t see, surfacing truth where reports fall short, and giving leaders real-time visibility across portfolios and departments.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Choose the right AI “layer” for your organization.
  • Use AI to support—never replace—human judgement and diplomacy.
  • Build an intelligent enterprise that stays ethical, transparent, and predictable.
