61# - At least 50% of Project Management and PMO activities will be done by Artificial Intelligence soon

At the end of the post you'll find information about our upcoming webinar on Application of AI and Project Management?(16 May) and The Great Implementation (24/25 May)

Just a few months ago, the #projectmanagement profession was still skeptical about introducing #artificialintelligence in projects; it was seen as something happening far in the future.

Though we can now confirm that AI is revolutionizing how #projects are managed and will soon help #projectmanagers be more efficient, make better decisions, and improve project outcomes.

One week ago I launched a LinkedIn poll to find out the opinion of experts around the world, and there is a general consensus that we are starting to see a mayor disruption that will bring huge opportunities.

These is a selection of the many of the great comments that project management colleagues made on this critical topic:

• I would say more like 20%. I could see l predicting release readiness, refining user experience, analysis of missing planned activities, program / portfolio schedule contention. My dearest hope would be an assessment of change absorption and overload.
• Areas that will surely be impacted: Planning and Execution. We wlll be able to easily create different scenrios that will take us to the project's ccompletion. However: algorithms will be developed for programs that will impress leadership into thnking: well, "the COMPUTER says the project will be done by 'X' date and 'Y' cost...but the Project Manger says otherwise....get rid of the human because they tell us what we don't want to hear." I guess I better start learning how to code project management AI software!
• AI can assist Project Management, but the AI will not be able to replace Project Managers.
• Data is and will continue to be more abundant… discerning what data is relevant and how it may (or may not) be critical to the task, phase, and/or project, requieres skilled judgement and expertise found with PMs and Project Leaders.
• Most of the reporting needs will be done by AI. The client management and interpersonal tasks will still need a project manager. This will be a good thing as reports and reporting take a lot of time that would be better spent focusing on delivering the project motivating, team members and engaging with client to manage expectations.
• AI can achieve maybe 50% depending on the project and the environment. AI can contribute to activities such as scheduling, forecasting, budgeting, risking etc. but they will still have to be predominantly human-led and require a human to input the real world activity for analysis. Humans still have to execute in the real world, unless this AI is in a robotic form to physically perform as another team member.
• AI won't do any of it well in 7 years. I think it will take longer to do it well. Will need more PMs to cleanup the mess that AI makes. Can't program for individual anomalies that exist everywhere throughout every step.
