This is learning, so, sit back and enjoy

Dev Amratia, CEO of nPlan

Dev Amratia is a chartered engineer. He is the Co-Founder and CEO of nPlan, a machine learning company that learns how completed construction projects performed, to forecast the outcomes of future projects. nPlan delivers a new paradigm in the management of risk and uncertainty.

Dev’s experience is in delivering construction projects for the energy industry, spanning 3 continents over 9 years. Following this, Dev worked within the UK government to launch and deliver the national review on AI, which was published as part of the Industrial Strategy in 2017.

What AI Can Do for Project Managers

In this interview, I discuss with Dev Amratia:

  1. nPlan is a sophisticated Project Management software tool. Dev and his team built it using AI from the outset. What was the first problem they set out to solve, and why did they start there?
  2. nPlan now has a full feature set of capabilities. What other AI capabilities has Dev’s team harnessed? And, what are they working on for the next generations of nPlan?
  3. nPlan addresses a particular range of project types, in the construction industry. But Dev has a far wider interest in the capabilities of AI. What capabilities does he foresee that can change the project profession – either the way we manage our projects, or the kinds of projects our organizations and clients need us to do?

What Kit does a Project Manager Need?

I asked Project Managers in a couple of forums what material things you need to have, to do your job as a Project Manager. They responded magnificently. I compiled their answers into a Kit list. I added my own.
