  "supportingContext": "The article grounds its argument in Project Management Institute data showing chronic project underperformance, including budget overruns and missed deadlines across industries. Kamil Banc argues that traditional PMBOK-style frameworks were designed for a slower business environment and struggle with fast-changing AI initiatives. He recommends blending waterfall and agile approaches based on project context, citing construction and healthcare as examples of hybrid adoption. For practitioners, the actionable takeaway is to adopt AI-powered project management tools for predictive analytics, scheduling, and automated reporting while shifting success metrics beyond the iron triangle. The piece pairs this diagnosis with a paid five-question prompt workflow that generates a customized framework for fast-moving projects.",
