Host Dave Sobel welcomes Sri Ganesan, co-founder and CEO of RocketLane, to discuss the evolving landscape of professional services automation (PSA). The conversation delves into the challenges faced by IT service providers in managing client-facing projects and the need to transition from a hero-driven approach to a more systematic, governance-focused model. Sree emphasizes the importance of standardizing project delivery to enhance consistency and efficiency, which is at the core of RocketLane's mission.

Sri elaborates on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) within RocketLane's platform, distinguishing between automation and AI. He provides examples of how their software utilizes machine learning to optimize project staffing by suggesting the best-fit team based on various criteria, such as availability and skill sets. Additionally, he discusses the innovative use of AI in automating post-sale documentation and communication, allowing project managers to streamline their workflows and focus on high-impact tasks.

The episode also highlights the significance of data quality and governance in effective project management. Sri shares insights on how to improve data collection by making it low friction for teams to input information. He explains that by automating data entry and providing integrations, such as calendar syncing for time tracking, organizations can enhance the accuracy and reliability of their data, ultimately leading to better decision-making and project outcomes.

Finally, Sri addresses the balance between automation and human oversight in project management. He discusses how automation can serve as a proactive tool for project governance, alerting leaders to potential issues before they escalate. By combining automated insights with human intervention, organizations can foster a more responsive and efficient project management environment. Looking ahead, Sri envisions a future where AI continues to play a pivotal role in enhancing service delivery, making it more predictable and standardized across various projects.
