Project Manager Tasks

Build and update the schedule by hand in MS Project or Smartsheet

Most project managers start a new plan by copying a prior-project template into MS Project, Smartsheet, or a spreadsheet, entering tasks, durations, and dependencies, and adjusting by hand every time scope or resourcing changes. Re-baselining the plan after each change-control decision is a manual exercise that often gets deferred until the next steering committee.

Build a Claude API research assistant tied to your internal decision-record wiki

Stand up a Claude API agent that can read your internal decision-record wiki (Confluence / Notion), ingest vendor sites and analyst reports, and write a fresh research brief into a structured template. Each brief links to existing decision records so you don't re-litigate solved questions. All outputs are drafts — the PM signs off every recommendation.

What colleagues do today

Survey vendors and methods through Google and analyst-report PDFs

PMs evaluate new tools or approaches by reading analyst reports (Gartner, Forrester), browsing vendor sites, and asking peers in Slack communities. The research lives in a personal doc and rarely feeds back into a structured decision record, so the same question gets re-researched every few quarters.
