Quire's Vicky Pham splits PM work into six tasks AI can do, six it can't

Vicky Pham, writing on Quire's blog, splits a project manager's job into twelve tasks and finds six that AI already handles well: status reports, meeting notes, overdue triage, dependency checks, risk flagging, first-draft scheduling. The other six, prioritization, negotiation, scope cuts, accountability, stay human because they depend on information no task tracker holds, a stakeholder's mood, a budget conversation, which fire will spread. The framing is tidier than the evidence behind it: the piece cites Microsoft's 2025 Work Trend Index on leaders expecting expanded capacity, then illustrates the rest with Quire's own MCP connection to Claude. The split between coordination and judgment is a clean way to think about the job. It also happens to describe exactly what Quire sells.
