Traditional project management approaches weren’t built for AI’s unique challenges. While methodologies like Agile embrace iteration, AI initiatives introduce a deeper level of uncertainty: evolving requirements, shifting success criteria, variable outputs, and use cases that often emerge during implementation rather than before it. Stakeholder expectations can also shift rapidly once teams begin to see what the technology can actually do. In legal environments, adoption and sustained use quickly become just as critical as delivery itself.
This ILTACON Encore session is designed for anyone leading AI project work in a legal setting, including project managers, innovation and KM professionals, legal ops, IT, and attorneys building new workflows. Together, we’ll explore why AI changes not just project delivery, but change management itself — and how teams can adapt without overengineering.
Based on lessons learned from active AI initiatives, we’ll introduce practical approaches for navigating AI work in environments where requirements, priorities, and use cases can continue evolving throughout delivery. We’ll also discuss how firms are moving from AI experimentation and pilots into broader operational adoption.
