In-Person CMM + Risk Identification and Mitigation in Projects
Successful project managers already know to identify project risks as early as possible, identify mitigations for those risks, gain alignment and execution plans for those mitigations, and track those risks throughout a project. These are not new skills and there are many tried and true frameworks we use to fill those risk registers in the beginning of a project. Those risks are as predictable as they are boring: technical issues with the cloud service, delays in licensing agreements, team capacity impacts due to long-term absence, etc. These are the easy risks to anticipate because they are reasonably possible and happen often enough that it is required we have plans. However, what if there is something hiding in the shadows that everyone feels but is afraid to say out loud. What if there is a subtle undertone in the company culture that AI or other automation projects are "taking jobs." What would happen if that fear is so real and so intense that it impacts the success of a project?
