Imagine a world where the users will ask questions in natural language to a personal project management assistant using their favorite chat or instant messaging tool.

Each user will have their own personal project management assistant that will read, listen, understand and translate those questions into actions on your PPM tool, which is your organization’s place to store and organizes data and processes.

But also imagine that your personal project management assistant will learn and become smarter day after day based on your way of work, he will also learn from other users in your organization and he knows all the best practices in the market, which allows him to recommend and suggest the best options for your tasks.

That is how the future will be.

Allan will be exploring and demonstrating a little bit of how a personal project management assistant can change your way of working.

Presenter Allan Rocha, (LinkedIn profile) founder of Sotis Consulting, specializing in PPM & content management spent 12 years working with implementations of projects based on the Microsoft PPM (Project Portfolio Management) Solution.  Allan is passionate about Demystifying PM & making it much more interactive, fun and connected to our daily lives.

Allan was also a finalist in the selection of its project to be presented at the Gartner Business Process Management Summit 2013, in London.

5. Leveling resources without analysis;
6. Inadequate baselining techniques;
7. Using elapsed durations for team schedules;
