According to Gartner, 80% of project management tasks will be run by AI by 2030. Indeed, AI is transforming every aspect of work, including our management of people and projects. However, to realize AI’s transformational potential for project management, four critical pieces must come together: 1) organizations will need high-quality data; 2) human employees will need to think of AI as a copilot; 3) humans will need reskilling; and 4) organizations will need to prioritize the human experience. To truly realize AI’s full project management potential, humans will ultimately be the key. Success will ultimately be determined by whether they have both the skills and the comfort level, not to mention the leadership and mindset, needed to leverage rather than resist AI.
