AI tools for project management specialists: what they do and what they cost

AI features in project management tools summarize projects, draft status updates, break work into tasks and flag work at risk of missing its deadline. They work from the data already in the tool, so they are only as current as the project's own records.

Will AI replace project management specialists? A little. They score 66 out of 100 on our scale, where higher is safer ( D; could be 2035–2047). See which tasks AI can do in this job.
