Managing Projects When AI Joins the Team: Human Judgment, AI Agents, and the New PM Role

A working session for project managers and team leads on integrating AI agents and copilots into project execution without losing control of scope, quality, or accountability. We treat AI as a non-human team member with real strengths and real failure modes, and we work through the decisions a PM must own: what to delegate, what to verify, what to never let an agent decide. The class is grounded in current practice - not hype - and draws on the EPM Doctrine's view of human judgment as the irreducible center of project work.

• What AI agents and copilots actually do well on projects - and where they consistently fail
• The new PM role: orchestrator of human and machine contributors
• Delegation decisions: tasks suitable for agents, tasks that require human judgment, and the gray zone in between
• Verification habits: how to review AI output without rubber-stamping it or rewriting everything yourself
• Accountability and traceability when an agent produces work product
• Status, risk, and stakeholder communication when part of the team is non-human
• Common failure patterns: over-trust, under-trust, scope drift via agent suggestions, and silent rework
• A simple framework for deciding, project by project, where AI belongs on your team

• Project Managers and Senior Project Managers
• Program Managers and Portfolio Managers
• Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches
• Team Leads and Technical Leads adopting AI tooling
• PMO Directors and Project Operations Managers
• Business Analysts working on AI-augmented teams
