Artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally transforming project management. This is demonstrated in the new article, "Artificial Intelligence in Project Management: Vision, Use Cases, and Approaches to Implementation," by Kai Wilhelm, Philipp Larseille, Sebastian Colditz (all from Campana & Schott), and Benjamin Hettrich (Technical University of Darmstadt). The article was published in the latest issue of the trade magazine PROJEKTMANAGEMENT AKTUELL (issue 36/5).
The authors combine scientific findings with practical experience to highlight how AI currently supports project initiation, risk management, and portfolio decisions. According to the article, studies predict that up to 80% of administrative project management tasks could be automated by 2030. Notably, the greatest added value is not created by individual tools, but by a holistic approach that considers people, processes, and technology equally.
What does this mean specifically for project managers and decision-makers?
AI can already significantly accelerate and improve the quality of project order creation, risk analysis, and project idea evaluation.
- According to practical experience, the greatest efficiency gains are currently being achieved in administrative tasks and documentation – up to 60 minutes of working time can be saved per day.
To successfully introduce AI into project management, the authors recommend an iterative approach: start small, gain experience, and develop solutions step by step. Empowering employees early on and actively shaping change management are crucial.
