If AI ends up doing all the APM grunt work, where does the next generation of PMs come from?
been thinking about this a lot lately. Everyone learned this job basically the same way, minutes, RFI logs, submittals, chasing subs, putting the monthly report together. Boring work but its how you actually learn how a project runs
thats exactly the stuff AI tools are getting good at which means companies hire fewer APMs and coordinators to do it. fine for the bottom line today but in 10 years who's actually learned the job from the bottom?
Not an anti AI rant, I use chatgpt for drafts and summarys all the time. i just don't see anyone talking about the pipeline problem
anyones company actually hiring fewer juniors bc of this? and could you have learned the job without the paperwork years?
