Hey everyone, The first time I saw this quote was during my IBGC - Instituto Brasileiro de Governança Corporativa Board Members Course. My dear colleague Eluard Moraes mentioned this during our graduation. I loved it so much that it is sticked in my screen this quote that I use often — it always sticks with me: "When we think we have all the answers, life comes and changes all the questions.", from the brilliant writer and poet from Brazil, Luis Fernando Veríssimo 👏 I’ve been thinking about how true this feels when it comes to AI and project management. For years, managing projects meant setting clear goals, planning timelines, tracking execution. But with AI becoming part of the workflow, the questions we face are completely different. It’s no longer just about how to get from A to B efficiently — it’s about rethinking what A and B even mean. If tasks that took a week now take an hour, how do we redefine scope and value? If AI can draft a report or analyze data in seconds, what does meaningful contribution look like? These are no longer hypothetical shifts — they’re happening now, across teams and industries. AI doesn’t just change how we work. It pushes us to think deeper, to be more flexible, and to lead with more curiosity and less certainty. The real skill now isn’t having all the answers — it’s knowing how to respond when the questions keep changing. I hope you find this quote as insightful and I found.
