AI Won’t Take Your Job—But a Better Leader Will. I hear it all the time: “AI is coming for project managers! Soon, we won’t be needed.” Listen. AI can track timelines, generate reports, and automate workflows. You know what it can’t do? ? Lead people. ? Make judgment calls under uncertainty. ? Negotiate with difficult stakeholders. ?? AI will replace task managers, not project leaders. If your entire job can be done by software, you have a bigger problem than AI. Instead of worrying about AI taking your job, focus on developing leadership skills AI can’t replace. #44RiskPM #TheRiskBlog #ProjectManagement #ProjectRiskManagement #ProjectLeadership #LeadershipOverAI #AIProjectManagement

If you don’t actively manage risks, don’t expect your projects to succeed. Too many project managers treat risk management as a checklist item instead of an ongoing, proactive process. But ignoring risks (or worse—only addressing them when they become problems) is a surefire way to derail your project’s success. That’s why I just reviewed “Practical Project Risk Management: The ATOM Methodology” by David Hillson & Peter Simon. The ATOM approach isn’t just theory—it’s a practical, repeatable way to tackle threats and opportunities in any project. What’s in the review? ?? A breakdown of the ATOM methodology and why it works ?? How this book helps you take control of project uncertainty ?? Who should read it and why it’s a game-changer for risk professionals ??

Stop Hiding Behind Frameworks. We all know too many project managers who treat PMBOK, Agile, and SAFe like they’re sacred texts that can’t have any deviation. They think that if they just follow the process, the project will succeed. ?? Wrong. Processes help, but they don’t solve problems. People do. The best PMs know when to break the process to get results. They don’t blindly follow a framework when reality demands flexibility. If you’re more focused on sticking to the methodology than actually delivering outcomes, you’re missing the point of project management. #44RiskPM #TheRiskBlog #ProjectManagement #ProjectRiskManagement #ProjectLeadership #PeopleOverProcesses

Risk Management is NOT About Playing it Safe. Too many project managers treat risk management like a checkbox exercise. Fill out a risk register. Document some potential issues. Move on. That’s not risk management—that’s risk documentation. ??Real risk management is about creating opportunities, not just preventing failure. The best PMs don’t just sit around asking, “What if this goes wrong?” They also ask, “How do we make this BETTER than expected?” ?? Good risk managers identify threats. ?? Great risk managers see opportunities hidden inside them. If you’re only using risk management to play defense, you’re missing half the game. #44RiskPM #TheRiskBlog #ProjectRiskManagement #Threats #Opportunities #ProjectManagement #ProjectLeadership #RiskDocumentation

Your PMP? Won’t Save You. There. I said it. Too many new project managers think passing the PMP? is the key to career success. They grind through exam prep, memorize ITTOs, and think that once they’re certified, they’ll magically become a great PM. But here’s the truth: Your PMP? is a credibility booster, not a competency guarantee. There are plenty of certified PMs who couldn’t lead a meeting, mitigate a risk, or make a tough decision. And there are uncertified PMs who could walk into chaos and get a team aligned in minutes. ??Your ability to lead, problem-solve, and execute under pressure is what separates real PMs from paper PMs. ?? The PMP? isn’t a golden ticket. It’s a tool that only you can make worthwhile if you are wiling to learn and improve yourself! Knowing the 10 Knowledge Ares for project is more than just a key to passing the PMP?, they are necessary for understanding your real-world projects as well - see the comments for my latest article at The Risk Blog. ___ Hey, I’m Russ.
