Research, teaching, and thought leadership.Where I think the field is going.

I teach AI-integrated project management at Boston University, co-authored The AI Revolution in Project Management, and speak and write about how AI is changing the way projects, programs, products, and portfolios are run.

Thought leadership

The ideas I bring to talks, classrooms, and leadership teams.

01
AI adoption, not AI pilots
Most organizations already bought the tools. The work is getting people fluent enough that AI becomes how the work gets done.
02
AI agents as project resources
Treat agents like named members of the team: clear scope, an owner, and a person who approves what matters.
03
The Agentic PMO
As agents take on project work, the PMO becomes the place that runs them. A working thesis I teach and write about.

Teaching the shift

Book cover: The AI Revolution in Project Management: Elevating Productivity with Generative AI, by Vijay Kanabar and Jason Wong

I teach AD 807, Principles and Best Practices in Project, Program, and Portfolio Management, at Boston University (Metropolitan College): one of the earliest AI-integrated project management graduate courses in the country. Students work a real, complex case study with AI tools and agents alongside the classic disciplines: schedule integration, change control, risk analysis, and executive reporting. They also learn to present to executives: recorded status updates every two weeks, a read-out to a board of trustees, and an AI-built executive dashboard.

Co-author of The AI Revolution in Project Management (2023, PMI-endorsed). Foreword by Ricardo Viana Vargas, PhD.

What my students say

Anonymous comments from Boston University's course evaluation for AD 807, Summer 2026.

Prof. Wong created a welcoming and supportive learning environment where students felt comfortable asking questions and participating. He was knowledgeable, approachable, and responsive. The course was engaging and well organized, and I appreciated the balance between theory and practical real examples.

Professor Wong would be a great addition to the AI Development Accelerator program here at BU as he exemplifies practical use of the tools within their current job and within the classroom.

The most valuable aspects were the practical examples, structured explanations, and opportunities to apply the concepts. Prof. Wong's knowledge of the subject and ability to connect course material to real-world scenarios made the learning experience especially valuable.
Graduate student, AD 807
Take it. It's demanding and there were moments of real struggle, but the skills and confidence you walk away with make it worth every bit of the work.
Graduate student, AD 807
I learned a great deal from this course. The material was presented clearly and reinforced through relevant examples and practical activities. The course helped me develop both a stronger conceptual understanding and skills that I can apply in real-world situations.

Working thesis

The Agentic PMO

Managing AI agents is a program-management problem, not a coding problem.

My working thesis: as AI agents take on more project work, the PMO becomes the place that runs them. Agents do the legwork, people hold the decisions, and the PMO sets the rules. I teach and write about this model; it is a framework, not a system I have deployed.
