Nikola Vojtek
Speaker at PM Summit 2026
AI is moving beyond prompts and copilots.
The next shift is already here: AI agents that can reason, act, collaborate, and take on work alongside project teams. What does this mean for project managers? How will our roles change? Which skills will matter, and how can we stay competitive as AI becomes an active participant in project delivery?
Storyline:
In this 45-minute session, we will move through next storyline:
AI → Copilots → Agents → the Agentic Project Manager
Talk summary
Participants will be able to hear, explore and discuss what this transition means for the project management profession. And we won't stop at theory. By the end of the session, we're going to explore how participants can build a new member of a project team, an AI agent.
Key Takeaway
The future of project management is not about competing with AI agents, but learning how to build, delegate to, govern, and lead them.
Takeaways
Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of where project management is heading, what AI agents can bring to their projects, and what they need to learn to lead in the agentic era.
- Understand the shift from AI assistants to AI agents, and what makes an agent fundamentally different from ChatGPT or a copilot.
- Recognize how AI agents will change project management, from planning and reporting to risk management, coordination, decision support, and execution.
- Learn how to build and use an AI agent, through a practical example of creating a new “digital member” of the project team.
- Prepare for the Agentic PM role, understand the skills PMs need to stay competitive: orchestration, delegation, critical thinking, AI governance, and human–AI leadership.
