Lunch & Learn
November 2026 Lunch & Learn (virtual)
Date: November 9, 2026 [virtual]
Time: 12PM - 1 PM
Speaker: Dr. Anthony Amalraj
Subject: AI in Enterprise Portfolio & Project Management Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how organizations plan, prioritize, govern, and deliver portfolios and projects—but for many practitioners, it can be difficult to separate practical value from AI hype.
This session gives project, program, PMO, and portfolio professionals a practical, non-technical framework for understanding and applying AI in enterprise PPM. Participants will learn the differences among generative AI, large language models, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), AI agents, and agentic AI, and how these capabilities can support better decisions without replacing professional judgment.
PMIGL has Teamed up with ProjectBites
