PMI's research shows the gap between the “pioneers”, who are already using generative AI in project management on a large scale, and the “explorers”, who are still at the beginning. The pioneers are using GenAI in various projects, increasing productivity, creativity and organizational change.
The discrepancy between the two typologies shows that some project professionals are still unsure where to start, while others are moving forward and harnessing the potential of GenAI to revolutionize project management.
The impact of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and its transformation of the project management profession has already been addressed by PMI in a series of thought leadership papers and various e-learning offerings.
The latest report, Pushing the Limits: Transforming Project Management with GenAI Innovation, dives deeper into the various ways project managers can use GenAI to deliver projects efficiently and, more importantly, to increase the likelihood that those projects will deliver real value. The findings tell a fascinating story. It is the story of a ground-breaking technology that is fast becoming an indispensable tool for delivering successful projects, and the story of a profession that is becoming increasingly comfortable using this tool to carry out challenging, complex tasks.
It illustrates the potential of GenAI to change the way projects are managed and to sustainably improve the quality of project managers' work.
