About this ebook

What if the best project manager didn’t exist? In this provocative and future-facing manifesto, Peter Taylor, the original Lazy Project Manager, asks the uncomfortable questions about the impact on his profession from the inexorable rise of artificial intelligence.

Traditional project management has created a substantial legacy, but what if project managers aren’t evolving but evaporating? What if success no longer needs a command-and-control human hero at the helm? Thanks to the power of AI, the next generation of project delivery won’t be managed, it will be orchestrated, seamlessly, silently, invisibly. It just might be the end of project management as we know it and the beginning of something radically smarter - but humans will still be very much involved, and this book explains how. It defines the ‘Invisible Project Manager’ future where AI systems manage workflows, timelines, and resources, while the ‘human-in-the-loop’ will be a vastly different skillset moving from the managers of activities to guardians of outcome. Accelerated change to the project management profession is arriving soon, and at speed.

This book is an essential and thought-provoking guide to evolution for forward-looking leaders, digital transformation strategists, and change agents who are planning for the long game. Are you ready to disappear?
