Quick answer
AI adoption in project management is surging but shallow: most PMs use AI for writing and notes, while fewer automate scheduling, risk, or resource workflows — where the bigger gains sit.
Usage patterns
Drafting (status, docs) and meeting notes dominate; estimation, risk detection, and resource optimization trail — the hard, valuable use cases lag.

What leaders do differently
They instrument workflows, write review rules, and measure time-saved — turning AI from a toy into a process.
