PMI SWVA Chapter Event - Portfolio & Project Management: Innovative Use of AI Agents
AI is no longer just a tool for writers and marketers — it's quickly becoming a game-changer for project managers and PMOs. In this engaging session, Darryl Agee explores how AI Assistants evolve into AI Agents, and how that shift can transform the way we manage projects, portfolios, and stakeholder communications.
Drawing inspiration from AI strategist Rachel Woods and grounded in real consulting work, Darryl walks through how repeatable PMO tasks — like gathering project updates, surfacing risks, or prepping review decks — can be offloaded to intelligent agents. You’ll see how today’s AI sidekicks can become tomorrow’s automated teammates. Think of it as a crash course in building your first AI-powered Project Analyst. And yes — sometimes this stuff is so fun it doesn’t even require air quotes.
Whether you're AI-curious or already experimenting with tools like ChatGPT, this talk will demystify the “next step” — and show you where project managers still matter most.
