What is the AI & PM Research Hub?

A collaborative research group across PMI chapters in Brazil, focused on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Project Management. Volunteer researchers — selected via an AI-assisted (copilot) process — produce papers, prototypes, and webinars on how AI is transforming the profession.

QUADRANT 1
The Augmented Practitioner
Tools, Productivity, and Agent Engineering

Making a simple request to an AI is no longer enough for excellence. It's time to level up with agent engineering! The challenge is not finding a "magic prompt", but organizing multiple prompts and models into an agent architecture capable of planning, executing, and self-correcting.

Cycle Deliverables:
  • PM Tech Radar (GPT vs Claude vs Gemini comparison by artifact)
  • Agent Architecture Patterns (with Python code)
  • 1-2 Scientific articles

📅 Meetings: Mondays or Wednesdays, 7PM BRT

▶ Video (7min)
QUADRANT 2
AI Project Management
GenAI/ML Methodology and Hybrid Teams

72% of PMs use AI ad-hoc, without strategic alignment. How to create a framework that guides PMs in structuring their own agents? Just as the WBS guides scope, the ABS will be the standard for structuring agents!

Cycle Deliverables:
  • ABS Framework (Agent Breakdown Structure)
  • E-book / Practical Guide
  • Focused webinar
  • Scientific article (estimated June)

📅 Meetings: Thursdays, 8:30PM BRT

▶ Video (8min)
QUADRANT 3
Organizational Leadership
Strategy, People, Culture, and Portfolio

Without culture, AI scales chaos. With 80%+ of projects in multicultural environments, we need Cultural Intelligence. "Internal stickiness" blocks information flow — it's the invisible enemy of projects.

Cycle Deliverables:
  • Monthly practical deliverables (ready-to-use tools)
  • Cultural Intelligence + AI Framework
  • Mixed-methods research
  • Academic articles

📅 Meetings: Weekly cadence

▶ Video (3min)

AI adoption accelerated, but observable criteria and clear proficiency evidence are lacking. Without metrics, there's no structured evolution! We will create the AI Proficiency MVP for PMs.

Cycle Deliverables:
  • Taxonomy (hierarchical competency structure)
  • Matrix + Rubrics (Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced)
  • Toolkit v1.0 (checklist + evidence)
  • Article + Webinar

📅 Meetings: Mondays, 8PM BRT

▶ Video (5min)

No more million-dollar decisions based on intuition! AI for prioritization is still a "black box". We will transform it into a "glass box" — transparent, explainable, and auditable.

Cycle Deliverables:
  • Hybrid Models (AI + human judgment)
  • Metrics beyond ROI (risks, reputation, learning)
  • Monthly LinkedIn articles
  • AI platform prototype for simulation and prioritization

📅 Meetings: TBD with the team

▶ Video (11min)
QUADRANT 4
Future & Responsibility
Ethics, Governance, and Society

83% of organizations plan to deploy AI, but only 29% feel ready. 46% of PoCs are discarded. Silent risks: hallucinations, data, biases. End of "Eternal PoCs"!

Cycle Deliverables:
  • AI Governance Framework
  • Data Quality Matrix
  • Value Metrics Guide (real ROI)
  • Acceptance Criteria Checklist (GenAI/RAG)
  • Governance Toolkit v1.0

📅 Meetings: Tuesdays, 8PM BRT

▶ Video (3min)

15-20% of the world population is neurodivergent. Only 25% of employed neuroatypical individuals feel included. We will develop the Neuroadvantage Framework 1.0: a "cognitive exoskeleton" supported by AI.

Cycle Deliverables:
  • Neuroadvantage Framework 1.0 (5 pillars)
  • Scientific article (theoretical pillar)
  • Practical webinar (technological pillar)
  • Practical tests + market v1.0

📅 Meetings: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8:30PM BRT

Where We Are Heading

The Hub operates as a hybrid Center of Excellence — the most structured in the global PMI ecosystem for AI + PM.

🌎 International Benchmarking

We mapped similar initiatives at PMI Ireland (AI Innovation Hub), PMI Germany (CoP AI), and PMI Sweden (Global Chapter Report with 27 chapters and 129 nations). The Hub is the most robust among them.

🏗️ Bimodal Model

Axis A (CoE): Closed elite research nucleus with peer review and curation.
Axis B (CoP): Open Community of AI Ambassadors accessible to any PMI member globally.

🎓 PMI-CPMAI

PMI launched the PMI-CPMAI certification (AI Project Management). There is no AI Ambassadors program yet — this is the window. The Hub can be the global blueprint.

🚀 Roadmap 2026-2028

Phase 1: Cycle 3 consolidation + international visibility.
Phase 2: Cross-border expansion + global co-authorship.
Phase 3: AI Ambassadors launch.
Phase 4: PMI Global endorsement.
