AI Project Power provides a structured and insightful exploration of how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the project management landscape. Targeted at project professionals, this book serves as both a conceptual guide and a practical toolkit, helping readers understand, evaluate, and integrate AI into their workflows.
