Presented by Nila Vaishnav, BA, BS, PMP

**Please bring your laptop for a hands-on portion**

Hello Project Managers, this session is more about you trying for yourself how AI streamlines the 
creation of project deliverables. After spending just a few minutes on the basics of AI in Project 
Management, we will delve into specific project artifacts, including the project charter, stakeholder 
analysis, kick-off meeting, and risk analysis. Through practical examples and hands-on exercises, 
participants will learn how to apply AI techniques to efficiently create these critical project artifacts. So 
come join and learn for yourself!!! 

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: 

• Understand the benefits of using AI to create project artifacts
• Apply AI to create a Project Charter draft
• Perform Stakeholder Analysis with AI
• Create a Kick-Off Meeting document using AI
• Generate a Risk Analysis template with AI
