AI and Project Governance: Building Skills for the Future
For PMOs, Project Managers, Agile Leads and Delivery Managers—this means more than just understanding the buzzwords. It means learning to work alongside AI, shape it, and guide its impact responsibly.
In our Project Governance Family, we recognize that upskilling in AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. It’s about creating space for exploration, providing access to meaningful tools, and building a culture where learning is ongoing—and shared. Here’s how we’re doing it.
Building and Using AI Agents for Governance
Using standard Office Copilot may not be enough. We’ve gone beyond generic tools. Using Office Copilot and our delivery methodology, internal knowledge base and lessons learned, we've built custom agents tailored to project governance work. We can take these two as meaningful examples: Project Governance PL Agent Among other functionalities it helps create project charters in a guided “wizard” format, manage risk plans, and run earned value analysis. Agile Assistant Supports backlog management and sprint ceremonies—turning methodology into real-time support. It works as a Scrum Master assistant to support everyday activities. These aren’t abstract ideas. They’re working tools designed with our governance professionals in mind.
AI isn’t just for data engineers or data scientists—or even only for engineers—and project governance isn’t exempt from its impact. That’s why we’re investing in real, practical AI fluency across our Project Governance Family. By giving people the possibilities, tools, and permission to explore, we’re not just preparing for the future—we’re building it together. If your team is on a similar journey, we’d love to connect, compare insights, and learn from each other.
