Shaping the Future of Project Management With AI
Charting Your AI Upskilling Journey with AI
Project Managers who stay at the forefront of the progression of emerging technologies and help drive AI adoption within their organizations will best position themselves for career success.
Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been impacting the execution of project work and the role of the Project Manager for some time already and will only continue to grow.
The introduction of Generative AI (GenAI) with the public release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in November 2022 has accelerated the impact of AI on the profession. How can Project Managers use AI to increase productivity, efficiency, and project success in their organizations? They must explore and leverage the opportunities that AI offers. In fact, at the very least, fluency in the basics of AI is non-negotiable: it must be in the DNA of Project Managers.
Unpublished PMI Customer Experience (CX) research provides evidence that the need for upskilling is urgent, since only about 20% of Project Managers report having extensive or good practical experience with AI tools and technologies, and 49% have little to no experience with or understanding of AI in the context of project management.
Project Managers who stay at the forefront of the progression of emerging technologies and help drive AI adoption within their organizations will best position themselves for career success. The time to act is now, and PMI offers tools and resources to help you chart your journey forward.
