Business value
The most time-consuming step in project creation is developing a task breakdown structure or project plan. Established divisions can rely on the luxury of best practices that have been incorporated into project plan templates. However, for newer organizations and teams, creating project plan templates can be a daunting task due to the lack of knowledge and best practices for the type of work required on the project. Generative AI can create a work breakdown structure for a project, using the natural language description of the project, to help project managers and reduce their learning curve, making this step less daunting.
Feature details
On a project, a project manager can generate the work breakdown structure using generative AI. Once the project is described, generative AI can produce a hierarchical task structure for the project with durations. The project manager can then edit the task plan for any changes, add or remove tasks, edit durations, and add dependencies between tasks with a great starting point.
