Focused discussions on better project management.
If you’ve spent even five minutes online this year, chances are you’ve seen headlines like “AI Will Replace Project Managers” or “Smart Tools That Run Projects for You.” While the buzz around artificial intelligence is loud, the reality is far more nuanced—and promising.
In 2025, AI is not replacing project managers. But it is transforming the way we lead, plan, and deliver projects. Let’s separate the hype from the practical uses and explore how PMs can harness AI today.
Zero Trust is a modern cybersecurity framework that eliminates implicit trust and requires continuous verification of every user, device, and network flow. Unlike traditional perimeter-based models, Zero Trust assumes that threats can come from both inside and outside the network. These projects are increasingly critical as companies face remote workforces, cloud-based assets, and advanced persistent threats.
A Zero Trust project typically spans identity, network, device, application, and data layers, demanding cross-functional collaboration to implement controls, visibility, and automation effectively.
Project management is no longer just about Gantt charts, timelines, and status meetings. As organizations evolve, so does the role of the project manager. In 2025, PMs are not just task managers or, as I call them project administrators—they're change agents, strategic advisors, and culture builders.
So, what’s really changed—and what does it mean for your career?
