Why next year could be a turning point for project management and AI

Artificial Intelligence hasn't quite arrived in the project management sphere yet, but it's on its way. Gartner forecasts that 80 per cent of project management roles will be eliminated by 2030 as AI takes on traditional project management functions such as data collection, tracking and reporting. The same report highlights that programme and portfolio management (PPM) software is behind the times, and AI-enabled PPM is only just beginning to surface in the market. However, while some tasks will inevitably be automated, it opens up other opportunities for project managers. It's important to know the difference between how AI-enabled automation can change project management and how AI-enabled insights from massive databases can make a difference.
