The Project Manager's AI Handbook

ship projects on time with AI

AI agents now work inside your project tools. This handbook shows project managers how to assign work to them while a named person keeps ownership. You'll learn to attest to AI-drafted status reports before they go out, set permissions for agents that read your tools, and let the AI interview you to get better requirements.
