AI doesn’t run a project. It writes the decision summary, builds the schedule, prepares the committee deck, and finds a clause in the requirements document, so you can focus on the team, the trade-offs, and the client.
AI helps project managers with tasks such as “Build the project risk register,” “Write the project charter,” and “Build the schedule from the task list.” Start with a single task, in Claude: allow 20 minutes the first time, and always review the result before you use it.
For each task: how it goes today, then with the tool. And the time it takes the first time.

What to check
The probability and impact scores are a basis for discussion, not a measurement. The assistant knows neither your teams nor the client’s history: the decisive risks often come from there.
Build the project risk registerClaude · Excel file, in the conversationThe prompt to copy
Help me build the risk register for a project: [type of project, duration, budget, teams and contractors involved]. From the attached documents, suggest fifteen risks, grouped by category: timeline, budget, scope, resources, technical, suppliers, change management. For each one: the cause, the consequence for the project, the probability and the impact scored from 1 to 3, the warning sign, the mitigation, and who should own it. Mark “to be confirmed” any score you cannot justify from the documents. End with the five risks to present first to the steering committee. Give me an Excel file.
