| challenge | brief | topics | technologies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Risk Insight Ignition: Making Tacit Knowledge Tangible | This challenge, presented by Thales, focuses on improving project risk management by capturing and applying subject matter expert (SME) heuristics that are typically tacit and inconsistently recorded. Teams explore how large language models and related AI techniques can codify SME insight, apply it to existing risk registers, and enhance the quality, consistency and usefulness of risk identification and mitigation data, with an emphasis on learning and refinement through expert feedback. | solution-centre, hack26, challenge1, large-language-models, machine-learning, natural-language-processing, risk-management, tacit-knowledge, heuristics, project-risk, data-quality, artificial-intelligence, python, streamlit, reportlab, pandas, human-in-the-loop, microsoft-excel, dataverse, power-apps | large-language-models, machine-learning, natural-language-processing, python, streamlit, reportlab, pandas, microsoft-excel, dataverse, power-apps, power-automate, copilot-studio, power-bi, jupyter, google-gemini, openpyxl, fuzzywuzzy, json |
| Automated WBS AutoPlan: From Narrative to Project Schedule | This challenge, presented by EDF, focuses on automating the creation of project schedules from unstructured scope documents and narratives. Teams explore how large language models and related AI techniques can read narrative project descriptions and generate consistent, structured Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) with activities, milestones, durations, and logical dependencies, reducing manual effort, improving consistency, and enabling earlier visibility of delivery risks within secure enterprise environments. | solution-centre, hack26, challenge2, large-language-models, natural-language-processing, microsoft-copilot, office-365, project-scheduling-tools, project-scheduling, work-breakdown-structure, automation, project-controls, data-quality, artificial-intelligence, microsoft-office, primavera-p6 | large-language-models, natural-language-processing, microsoft-copilot, office-365, project-scheduling-tools, microsoft-office, primavera-p6 |
| Ghosts of Projects Past | This challenge, presented by the MOD, focuses on preventing repeated delivery failures by unlocking lessons hidden in historic project assurance artefacts, particularly Gateway reviews. Teams explore how large language models and related AI techniques can automatically extract both explicit and implicit lessons, organise them into a structured and searchable Lessons Library, and make them reusable at project start‑up and review stages to strengthen learning and assurance across portfolios. | solution-centre, hack26, challenge4, large-language-models, natural-language-processing, document-analysis, knowledge-bases, search, lessons-learned, project-assurance, knowledge-management, governance, data-quality, artificial-intelligence, python, pdfplumber, sentence-transformers, hugging-face, power-bi, openpyxl | large-language-models, natural-language-processing, document-analysis, knowledge-bases, search, python, pdfplumber, sentence-transformers, hugging-face, power-bi, openpyxl, watchdog, pymupdf, textblob, pandas, openai, vector-databases, retrieval-augmented-generation, microsoft-copilot, power-automate, microsoft-forms, csv, excel |
| Risky Resource Routines: Pinpointing Patterns for Preventing Poor Practices | This challenge, presented by Thales, focuses on improving project delivery by exposing and addressing poor resource planning and scheduling behaviours. Teams are invited to design behavioural analytics dashboards or tools that reveal hidden patterns in forecasting accuracy, resource over‑ and under‑utilisation, and reliance on generic placeholders, turning planning data into insight that drives better decisions and sustainable behaviour change. | solution-centre, hack26, challenge5, analytics-dashboards, data-visualisation, large-language-models, machine-learning, enterprise-data-platforms, resource-management, schedule-forecasting, behavioural-analytics, project-controls, data-quality, artificial-intelligence, power-bi, analytics, microsoft-copilot, python, pandas, jupyter | analytics-dashboards, data-visualisation, large-language-models, machine-learning, enterprise-data-platforms, power-bi, analytics, microsoft-copilot, python, pandas, jupyter, data-analysis, data-profiling, visualisation, streamlit |
