Recently, The Economist published a chart showing the jobs that ChatGPT is likely to take away from people. The list of “endangered” jobs includes telemarketers, teachers, traders, and professionals in the sectors such as securities and commodity contracts, insurance carriers, data processing and hosting, information services, and publishing.

Technically speaking, ChatGPT is a “generative” Artificial Intelligence. Simply put, it is nothing but a chatbot with the capability to come out with its own answers to our questions. Millions of people right now are having intelligent conversations with this tool. If ChatGPT can speed up a human job by at least 50%, companies will not hire people for the job – instead, they will give the job to ChatGPT.

ChatGPT and Primavera

Project Management does not figure in the list – at least not yet. But ChatGPT is not bad news for project managers. Any profession that wants excellence will need to adopt AI in whatever form it appears. One of the ways to use ChatGPT for project management is to integrate it with PPM software such as Primavera. Chat GPT 3, an advanced version, has an API that allows developers to build conversational AI applications. When the API is integrated with Primavera, it can enable PM professionals to generate human-like responses to text input.

There are many ways in which ChatGPT can contribute to the field of Project Management, and help professionals in this field become more productive. Sooner or later ChatGPT will become a subject of PPM courses and PPM training programs. And it will not be a surprise if PPM Certifications can also take into consideration a professional’s ChatGPT exposure. Here are a few areas where ChatGPT integration with Primavera can make a big difference in managing projects:

Summarisation

ChatGPT is primarily a Language Model – a “large language model” at that. It means that the tool can analyse large bodies of text and data that reside in Primavera, and have that as a basis for summarising project documents, reports, and other long-form text instantly. We can instruct it to include specific topics or subjects and give it a specific word count as well. ChatGPT with Primavera can create reports for all stakeholders including team members, vendors, and stakeholders.

Intelligent Conversations

With Primavera, ChatGPT becomes a Project Management chatbot with which project managers can have engaging conversations. Instead of going through voluminous documents, they can instantly get answers for specific questions such as: “What is the project status?”, “What is the timeline for building construction?”, “How much is left in my budget?”, and so on.

Decision making

The ability of ChatGPT to “think” on its own helps it cull out information and generate insights at a more granular level and on different aspects. This ability can go a long way in helping project managers in the “executive-level” areas such as problem-solving and decision-making. For instance, with ChatGPT professionals can make informed decisions in delegating tasks and managing team members. ChatGPT can even objectively recommend team members who are suitable and available for specific tasks, going by their skills and workload.

Predictive Analytics

As ChatGPT gets trained with Primavera’s database, it can conduct real-time analyses and offer specific predictions. Its predictive analytics capabilities could come in handy when there is a need to project a project’s future status and assess and mitigate potential risks. The chatbot can also generate alerts on potential delays, resource requirements, based on its reading of project timeline, budget, and risks, and project progress.

Learning

ChatGPT can work with external content as well as Primavera’s data concerning local projects and portfolios, and come out with industry best practices, project management methodologies, as well as guidelines for specific projects. This way, ChatGPT with Primavera can be used as a learning tool for training and professional development.

PPM Courses and Training of the Future

It is important to note that ChatGPT is not going to replace enterprise applications. Instead, it is there to add a smart chat feature to them. With ChatGPT, Primavera can provide a more engaging experience to its users. Considering such benefits, project management students and professionals who pursue PPM courses and PPM training should pay special attention to the aspect of making better use of ChatGPT in their work.

Coexistence makes sense

Professionals will continue to use Primavera for all key domains: from robust scheduling to advanced dependency management. There are many areas in that ChatGPT does not have any meaningful role to play. As it stands today, it cannot implement organizational breakdown structures and work breakdown structures, resources, activity constraints, and Gantt charts. It cannot schedule work the way Primavera does. Besides, Primavera too has its own intelligence as it has a long history of processing small and large projects, programs, and portfolios around the world and in different industries.

Hence, it is important for project managers to find a way out to enjoy the best of both worlds: Primavera and ChatGPT. They both can coexist in the enterprise and project management software ecosystem, with their integration providing unthinkable benefits to project sponsors, teams, and clients alike.

Import the models suitable with all kinds of projects, be it Furniture building, video game creation, 3D printing, interior designing, to name a few. The SketchUp program includes:

• Drawing layout functionality.
• Surface rendering
• Third party plugin from the extension house (a place where you can both find and install add-ons for SketchUp)

Who uses SketchUp Software?

SketchUp is most commonly used by:

• People who are interested in creating, sharing, or downloading 3D models to be used with 3D printers
• Architects
• Interior designers.
• Animators and video editors.

Why do they use it:

SketchUp is the first 3D CAD design software which has the powers to create 3D designs that make the work of architects and interior designers more efficient. IT helps in creating a freeway 3D design with full finesse, one similar to the sketch created with a pencil. But since most people do not feel competent enough in drawing, SketchUp in 3D makes their task like a cake walk.  No other CAD software possess the same features, like the one that is available in SketchUp software.

SketchUp is a super smart software that helps designers in creating and communicating their idea or creation with a visual effect which, unlike other CAD software, acts as an added bonus to the designers.

Hence if you are in a designing field- especially architecture and interior designing, then SketchUp will definitely prove to be your loyal friend.

Importance of BIM in Architecture

There are many ways in which BIM for architecture helps, amongst which some are mentioned as follows:

• Helps in gaining a competitive edge to grow your business market.
• Support in taking a design from concept to reality with efficiency and better quality.
• Takes you towards the realization of your vision by bringing in innovative technology solutions that enable impactful design.

Features of Existing Architectural Suite- AECOsim

There are several BIM Architectural suites such as ArchiCAD, Allplan, and Revit. Undoubtedly, AECOsim was born out of long-line development until years and is an extension of good old MicroStation. And, probably this Building Designer was something that everyone was trying to jump on as it is trying to get into the act of BIM. Here are a few things you need to know about AECOsim as a BIM architecture suite:

1. Taking on a whole the only goal of BIM is supposed to take care of operations and so, AECO stands for Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Owner/Operator are four phases of operation and creation of a building. Nevertheless, it is unfortunate of us to mention that BIM software AECOsim is taking care of engineering and construction only.

2. BIM is mostly developed for huge engineering companies i.e. it works on buildings associated with civil work, and large buildings where designing is less in comparison to construction.

3. All around the world, there are a number of architects who are working across civil engineering companies. However, the team of architects could not associate AECOsimwith the work they perform.

4. AECOsim is somewhat different and is a suite of programs designed for the whole process of AECO. It especially has created a market of people who are loyal customers of MicroStation that requires working on large-engineering building projects.

5. If you are looking for something creative and willing to make some showy stuff, you will have to look for something else. Since AECOsim does not help much in this area.

Looking at the above shortfalls and inefficiencies it is imperative to note that we need a new BIM architectural suite that can fulfill more requirements apart from engineering and construction.

CADD Centre is offering technical training to the candidates making them proficient in building architectural designs that support Building Information Modeling (BIM). With this course, you can stay competitive in the fields of product design, building, and construction.
