AI Can’t Replace Your Project Management Job
Good project managers bring what PMI calls “power skills” to the table – something AI cannot. From PMI’s Pulse of the Profession® 2023 report: “Power skills — also known as interpersonal skills or soft skills such as communication, problem-solving and collaborative leadership — are proving essential for project professionals. They are at the heart of leading successful teams, engaging stakeholders and conquering challenges to the project plan. Technical skills enable project managers to chart the path from the start of a project to close, but power skills are how they bring the entire team along for the journey to execute a common vision.”
Green Project Management: 5 Tips to Eliminate Waste
Tuck is a consulting firm focused on project management; of course we’re going to apply project management principles to address this problem – specifically, lean project management.

For Tuck consultants and clients, waste comes in the form of misallocated effort and time. The way we check our email, manage documents, and even how we run our workstations have an impact on the environment.
Here are five strategies for minimizing such waste.
