Plan and develop cost and quality targets
How plan and develop cost and quality targets are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Plan and develop cost and quality targets is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.
Why: Derived from the PCF category lens 'Govern and manage product/service development program' and the process description, which focuses on setting budgets, preparing plans, and coordinating with senior executives. Because the process involves no direct physical execution and consists entirely of strategic planning, financial forecasting, and information transformation, the work is highly digital.
