siliconindia | | April 20208NAVIGATING THE DIGITAL DISRUPTION ­ THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT WAYBy Palash Gupta, Director Engineering, Huawei Technologycceleration of technology and digitization has created a hyper-connected, borderless world with heterogeneous competition killing current & creating unconventional industries. Disruption is the new norm and Program & Project is the best suitable ve-hicle to ride this wave of change & uncertainty. Environ-ment underscores the need for organizations to consider Project Management as a strategically significant disci-pline and Project Manager as the bridge between the strat-egy and reality. Here is my attempt to pick TOP 3 trends for the Digital Project Manager.AI - The Genie in your bottleThere are conflicting emotions around AI; one perceives it as the promise of future, while other is fearful of its impact on our workplaces, society and culture. Let's put things in perspective. The Challenge: Whether, Portfolio business invest-ment decisions to maximize the ROI or project plans for efficient delivery both are based on estimations of cost, risk and potential rewards. Agile frameworks (SAFe) recommend "Lean Portfolio & Project Management" ap-proach with iterative and incremental development; Still most of estimates are "at best intuitions and at worst wild guesses" resulting into "Best case & hope Based" plans. Why? Project interdependencies and external environ-ment results in numerous variables & probabilistic sce-narios creating a huge web of "What-IF" conditions. Hu-mans have limited cognitive abilities to produce, store and analyze this large information at will in real time manner.
