Demystifying Artificial Intelligence in Project Management

What does Artificial Intelligence really mean? How will it get applied to the project management discipline?

In today’s fast-moving world that is defined by digital transformations, big data, frequent change, and disruptive technology, the trend towards AI-supported business processes, including in the project management domain, is a natural consequence.

The hype around AI has certainly created many myths and misconceptions, adding to the misunderstanding or illusion of what it actually is and can do for us.
Will AI take over all Project Manager jobs? Will AI automate all project decisions based on data and machine learning? Will it ensure project success? How is AI different from data analytics or advanced statistics?

Taking into consideration the usual factors, constraints, and characteristics that make up projects and determine their success or failure, it is important to understand how Artificial Intelligence can realistically and effectively be applied to the project management practice, to provide real value to project stakeholders.

Together with our guest, Rich Weller, a project management consultant at MiGSO | PCUBED with nearly 30 years of experience transforming organizations through improved technology and processes, we will get to the bottom of those questions, separate the facts from myths and fiction, and figure out the real potential of AI in project management.
