Business value
Assessing the risks and staying on top of issues is one of the main activities that takes up a project manager's time. For a project manager who is managing five to six projects simultaneously, timely alerting the appropriate stakeholders of the risks, putting together a mitigation plan, and staying on top of the outstanding issues for each project becomes an enormously challenging task when put in context with the other responsibilities that are equally critical for a project manager. With the help of generative AI, this task can be automated where generative AI recommends a set of risks that require a mitigation plan and proposes a mitigation plan. The project manager can review and edit the plan, saving a lot of time and having one less thing to worry about.
Feature details
Periodically, the project manager Copilot can assess the project for any risks and issues. This assessment can be tied to a periodicity that results in creating risk and issues-related data in the issues and risks tables in Project Operations. Copilot can also generate mitigation for every risk that it identifies. The project manager can review and edit the mitigation plan to meet their needs. When generating a status report for the project using generative AI, issues and risks and corresponding mitigation plans can be added to the status reports as sections.
