The integration of AI into project management requires a strategic approach that aligns projects with business priorities and focuses on delivering value. While AI can provide valuable insights and uncover risks and challenges, project managers must also cultivate strong soft skills, leadership capabilities, and business acumen to create high-performing teams and address technology skill deficits. The future of project management will involve advanced tools and techniques backed by AI, but it is important to prioritize the human element in project management.
