Title: Optimizing Software Project Management with AI-powered Tracking Tools

Date: Friday October 27, 2023

Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

Location: Erie Hall, Room 3123

Abstract:

Modern software project management can be challenging due to the increasing complexity of software systems, rapidly changing technology stacks, and the need to balance competing demands of time and budget. In addition, effective communication and collaboration between stakeholders can be difficult to achieve, and changing requirements can lead to delays in software releases. In this talk, I will present how AI-powered tracking tools can assist project managers in navigating these challenges. I will focus on two critical areas of software project management: technical debt management and pull request management. Finally, I will discuss the potential risks and lessons learned from designing and implementing these tools.
