How AI Will Transform Project Management

  • Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez
  • Ricardo Viana Vargas

artificial intelligence in project management thesis

Steps you can take now to prepare for the future.

Only 35% of projects today are completed successfully. One reason for this disappointing rate is the low level of maturity of technologies available for project management. This is about to change. Researchers, startups, and innovating organizations, are beginning to apply AI, machine learning, and other advanced technologies to project management, and by 2030 the field will undergo major shifts. Technology will soon improve project selection and prioritization, monitor progress, speed up reporting, and facilitate testing. Project managers, aided by virtual project assistants, will find their roles more focused on coaching and stakeholder management than on administration and manual tasks. The author show how organizations that want to reap the benefits of project management technologies should begin today by gathering and cleaning project data, preparing their people, and dedicating the resources necessary to drive this transformation.

Sometime in the near future, the CEO of a large telecom provider is using a smartphone app to check on her organization’s seven strategic initiatives. Within a few taps, she knows the status of every project and what percentage of expected benefits each one has delivered. Project charters and key performance indicators are available in moments, as are each team member’s morale level and the overall buy-in of critical stakeholders.

Abstract: This paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) investigating the challenges and impacts of implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in project management, specifically mapping them into the process groups defined in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). The study aims to contribute to the understanding of integrating AI in project management and provides insights into the challenges and impacts within each process group. The SLR methodology was applied, and a total of 34 scientific articles were analyzed. The results and analysis reveal the specific challenges and impacts within each process group. In the Initiating Process Group, AI tools and analysis techniques address challenges in risk assessment, cost prediction, and decision-making. The Planning process group benefits from various tools and methodologies that improve risk assessment, project selection, cost estimation, resource allocation, and decision-making. The Execution process group emphasizes the importance of advanced tools and techniques in enhancing productivity, resource utilization, cost reduction, and decision-making. The Monitoring and Controlling process group demonstrates the potential of advanced tools in achieving efficiency, cost reduction, improved quality, and informed decision-making. Lastly, the Closing process group emphasizes the importance of utilizing advanced tools to minimize waste, optimize resource utilization, reduce costs, improve quality, and project closure success. Overall, this research provides valuable insights and strategies for organizations seeking to implement AI in project management, thereby enhancing the potential for success within the PMBOK Process Group.

AI is set to overhaul the utilities market - CFA Institute

Smart transport technology concept for future car traffic on road

Artificial intelligence is positioned to revamp a wide variety of segments, including the utility sector, according to the CFA Institute, which predicted that AI and other digital tools will help to overhaul parts of the U.S. power grid.

“Over the next 25 years, AI and other digital strategies will be deployed to substantially reduce the cost of revamping the US Power Grid… Integrating AI into the grid is critical for precise power forecasting and agile responses to challenges like equipment malfunction and fluctuating weather patterns,” CFA Institute noted.

Supporting CFA’s thesis is the fact that the Department of Energy has committed $3B for AI-centric smart grid programs to help combat the complex challenges the utility sector faces, which primarily includes aged infrastructure and stricter regulations.

The implementation of AI platforms will help improve the sector as a whole. This includes upgrades in grid operations, predicting weather patterns and providing real-time data and analytics that can further add efficiencies to the industry.

Outlined below are a group of utility- and AI-focused exchange traded funds that investors can look towards as the sector starts to adopt some of the latest technologies.
