PMI presents research findings on AI in project management

The Project Management Institute (PMI) takes a close look at developments in project management. One very exciting factor at the moment is the use of artificial intelligence. Future managers in project management need extensive knowledge in dealing with AI-supported applications. This knowledge is already available, but according to the PMI, it is rarely used.

The research of the PMI

The Project Management Institute is the world's largest project management association. In addition to information on current developments, workshops and seminars, the PMI produces studies on all aspects of project management at irregular intervals.

A recent study looks at how AI skills are applied within project management. The results show that there is still a lot of room for improvement in companies worldwide.

According to PMI research, just 18% of project experts have practical experience in dealing with AI. Yet the skills for dealing with AI-supported applications are already available. Most project managers know how to better plan, organize and implement projects with the help of artificial intelligence. What is lacking are the possible applications.

This harbors the risk that many project managers will lose touch. This is why PMI is offering a free online course entitled "Overview of generative AI for project managers" to show what opportunities AI offers in project management. This will be followed by further courses and articles to keep the topic in focus.

PMI and the possibilities of AI in project management

The PMI is determined to expand the AI skills of project managers . In a working world that is increasingly determined by the use of artificial intelligence, this is also necessary. According to the PMI, continuous learning and regular training are essential in order to take advantage of the growing career opportunities in project management.

PMI Chief Executive Officer Pierre Le Manh has set himself the goal of driving forward the seamless expansion of artificial intelligence in the Project Management Resource Center. He promises the integration of survey results, industry analyses and academic research.

Artificial intelligence is a great help, especially in the organizational area of project management. Applications organize teams, tools and deadlines clearly. project managers benefit from simple application options. However, these applications must also be available. In many companies, project experts are unable to put their AI skills to use. Together with the Project Management Resource Center, the PMI wants to make companies aware of the problem and promote the integration of generative AI into project management.

If the project experts are willing to improve their AI knowledge and skills and continue to train in this area, nothing should stand in the way of the success of this endeavor.
