    Episode 209 – Succeed with AI in Project Management: Strategies and Skills to Stay Ahead
    Sep 16 2024
    In this episode, we explore the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on project management and how it’s transforming the profession. Oliver Yarbrough shares how project managers can leverage AI to enhance their skills and stay competitive in an evolving, AI-driven landscape. Hear about AI's impact on Agile teams, how SLMs and LLMs are revolutionizing data refinement, how to balance data security while leveraging AI, and how to treat AI as a key stakeholder in the evolving landscape of project management.

That’s very important. Initially, I used to say treat it like it’s a piece of software tool. But with the new advents of these AI agents and AI assistants and all these other things, you really do need to treat it like a true stakeholder. WENDY GROUNDS: Welcome to another episode of Manage This. where we dive deep into the latest trends, insights, and strategies in project management. This is the podcast by project managers for project managers. I’m Wendy Grounds, and with me in the studio is Bill Yates. And in the studio today we have an incredible guest who is sure to enlighten, inspire, and, I think for me, educate a lot. Joining us is Oliver Yarbrough. He’s a PMP, a renowned author, speaker, and trainer with a knack for combining hands-on real-world experience with project management fundamentals. His impressive career includes positions with Fortune 500 companies like Lucent Technologies, Staples, and Sprint, as well as successful business ventures of his own. Currently, Oliver is an active member of PMI, where he shares his extensive knowledge on adapting to AI, deriving value from data, and recognizing AI trends in project management. He has some LinkedIn courses which we’ve taken a look at. They cover everything from leveraging AI in project management to the importance of human strengths in an AI-driven world. BILL YATES: As Wendy is saying, we’re going to explore a topic that, I mean, if you connect to the news, if you connect to the Internet in any way, probably one of the top trending topics is AI, or artificial intelligence. We’re going to dive deep into that with Oliver, and we’re going to look at it from a specific lens, and that is from the perspective of the project manager. How does this impact me? How does this impact my job and my future? Oliver is going to share some insights with us. He’ll help us understand how to stay relevant. What are some strengths from AI that we can harness? What are some things that we cannot fear? So, Oliver is here to open our minds. WENDY GROUNDS: Yup, so get ready as we welcome Oliver. Hi, Oliver. Welcome to Manage This. OLIVER YARBROUGH: Yes, great. Glad to be here. Meet Oliver WENDY GROUNDS: Oliver, why don’t you tell us how you got into artificial intelligence? How you took that path? OLIVER YARBROUGH: Well, I sort of fell into it backwards. So, I did not start off as an AI person. I’ve always been a Curious George. I’ve always been poking my head in, like, “What’s going on here? What’s going on there?” But, you know, I have a project management background. So, I was doing PMP exam prep. I was training people. And that’s how I got in touch like with you guys.

If there’s a problem, that is your priority. You have to get on that right away. Because what you’re trying to do here is, if you know you or your company has done wrong, you want to put out the small fire before it blows up into an inferno. That’s a common PM trap is, oh, man, this is a hard situation. I’m going to leave it till the afternoon. WENDY GROUNDS: Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers. I’m Wendy Grounds, and in the studio with me is Bill Yates. We just want to remind you that if you’re looking for opportunities to acquire PDUs, your professional development units, toward recertifications, you can still claim your PDUs for all our podcast episodes. Listen up at the end of the show for information on how you could claim your PDUs. Today’s guest is Rick Czaplewski and he’s a seasoned expert in project management, especially in the art of negotiation. He teaches negotiation and leadership skills to executives and professionals. Today he’s going to share some invaluable insights from his journey and the critical aspects of negotiation within project management. BILL YATES: Wendy, negotiating, dealing with claims, dealing with disputes, that’s a part of project management life that is not very appealing to most of us. There may be a few out there who just love it. But there’s a lot of fear and trepidation when it comes to that disagreement with your customer. Rick is going to provide us with a seven-step process for how to go about facing those claims and some tips on how to negotiate your way through. Now, a couple things about Rick. He is a unique combination of CPA and PMP. Also, a little background. Rick and I first met, I don’t know, at least 10 years or so ago. He started his career with HP, and then he was working with Siemens. He was working with Siemens Light Rail in Sacramento when I had the privilege of teaching a PMP prep class in Sacramento for Siemens. Rick was my point of contact there and participated in the class, earned his PMP on his first try and gave me the most exciting tour of their facility so I could see how they take raw materials and build light rail systems out of them. So, we are delighted to have him as our guest today. WENDY GROUNDS: Hi, Rick. Welcome to Manage This. Thank you for joining us. RICK CZAPLEWSKI: Hi, thank you for having me. Meet Rick WENDY GROUNDS: We are looking forward to this topic. We’ve talked a bit about negotiation before, but you have something else. You have a whole lot of different experience in negotiation. So, we want to hear more about that and definitely get your advice. But before we go there, can you tell us about how you got into project management, and a little bit about your career? RICK CZAPLEWSKI: Yes,
