1

Find the problem. Pick the areas where your workload is heaviest and rate your pain points. You get a ranked list and an AI Potential Score for your top three.

2

Test the idea. Read AI Idea Cards, each written as a hypothesis. Pick them apart and tell us what's missing.

3

Use the solution. Download prompts, AI agent skill files and templates built around the problems PMs actually report.

No single PM can solve every problem in this profession. A connected community can.

Inside the PM Playground

Three free tools. One path from problem to solution.

Two tools help the project managers name the problems that matter. The third hands back the solution. All three are free.

Find My Pain Points (PM AI Opportunity Finder)

Find where your workflow hurts the most, and where AI can help.

A guided diagnostic that turns "everything is urgent" into a ranked list of pain points, each with an AI potential score, using Jev (unlike other LLMs, Jev is a machine-native engine built entirely for workflow classification and logic) developed by Typesafe AI.

Find My Pain Points
How it works
  1. Choose the work areas that carry your heaviest workload, up to 6 out of 16.
  2. Select up to 3 pain points within each area.
  3. Rate every pain point on severity, frequency, and time per occurrence.
  4. See your preliminary ranking, calculated as a Pain Priority score.
  5. Deep dive into your top 3. They are chosen for you from the ranking, and you can replace them with your own. For each one, tell us up to 3 business impacts, how you use AI for that activity today (how often, which tools, what gets in the way), and what you want AI to help with.
  6. The Opportunity Finder scores the AI potential of each pain point. Generate your report and export it as a PDF.

AI Idea Cards

AI ideas written as hypotheses, open for you to challenge.

Each card describes one thing AI could do for a project manager. Read it, pick it apart, and tell us what is missing. The aim is to work on problems that are real and need attention, not to collect another AI tool.

The hypothesis

An agent that spots the pending decision quietly turning into a schedule problem.

The problem it targets

Decisions that sit unanswered until they start delaying the work.

What holds up? What is missing?

Resources

Ready-to-use solutions to the problems the community raises.

Downloadable prompts, AI agent skill files, templates, and more. Each one answers a problem that surfaced through the Opportunity Finder or the Idea Cards, so you start from what PMs need, not from what is trending.

Why this exists

A community of PMs who work with AI, not around it.

Project managers face problems that run deep in the way the profession works. No single person can solve them all. A connected community, drawing on everyone's experience, can.

That is the idea behind The Survivor PM. We bring PMs together to surface the problems that are real, share ideas for solving them, and build solutions that make a PM more efficient and more productive. The goal is a New Age PM who is AI native and acts as a true orchestrator of AI agents, equipped with the right tools and techniques.

A person turning challenges into opportunities

It takes three easy steps to make this real, and all of them are free.

1

Surface the problem.

The PM AI Opportunity Finder shows where your workflow hurts the most.

2

Shape the idea.

AI Idea Cards let the community test and refine what AI could do about it.

3

Share the solution.

Resources puts the answers in your hands: prompts, agent skill files, and templates.

Where this is headed

The more PMs take part, the clearer it becomes which problems matter most. Those problems decide what gets built next: new Idea Cards, new prompts, agent skill files, and templates. Over time, the site grows into a shared library of PM problems and the solutions that answer them, created by the people who live with those problems every day.

About
Rajib, founder of The Survivor PM
Part of

Hi, I'm Rajib. I have spent over 25 years in IT project management.

PMP certified 25 years in IT project management Post-graduate diploma in AI and ML Author of A Project Manager's Daily AI Handbook

I am a PMP-certified project manager with 25 years of experience in IT and a post-graduate diploma in AI and ML from IIIT Bangalore. Today I manage IT transformation projects, working with quality KPIs, Jira dashboards, and AI tools.

Outside my day job, I am passionate about creating educational content for project managers through Skillyft and my YouTube channel, The Survivor PM. I also authored - A Project Manager's Daily AI Handbook.

Why I am building this

I believe one person cannot solve all the problems the PM profession faces today. I also believe a community can. When PMs share what actually slows them down, and what they would want AI to do about it, the real problems come into focus, and the solutions get better.

I am not building this as someone who has every answer. I am building it as a PM who wants better answers and would rather find them together. That is why the whole thing is free.
