results - ’AI in Project Management’ Research project
Are you ready for the Future?
Since the research
institute Gartner made the prediction that 80% of PM work will be done by AI in
2030 - and ChatGpt 4.0 was launched - the news has revolved around AI. There
are threats but also enormous opportunities! By now, most of us probably
realize that AI is an express train that cannot be stopped. The question is how
we use it in the best way for the good of mankind and use it to build a
sustainable, equal and fair society. This include how we use AI to run
projects.
Why a Chapter led PMI survey?
Most people working in
project management have difficulties in relating to the reports from the big
research institutes in which industry leaders give their vision for the future
including AI. So, we wanted to take a
different approach. We wanted to reach out to PMI members and the project
management community who works in projects on daily basis and ask what they
think of AI. By knowing about members’ view and opinion, PMI Chapters can
support their members and be a thought transformation partner.

questions or want to become a team member.
How & When
This survey is a
combination of an online questionnaire - that takes 5-10 minutes to answer -
and interviews. We encourage responders
to share their experience in AI implementation projects and using AI tools in
their project management work.
The survey started the 1st
of June and closes the 30th September. Respondents have been reached by
newsletters from Chapters, PMI Chapter webb pages, Social Media and PMI Global
AI page, projectmanagement.com and marketing partners.
Important
The result in this article
only presents the initial results using Google Forms. No analysis has been made
at this stage with considerations to demographics, geography or industry. Those
analysis will be done for the final report and presented to those who have
taken the survey in December. Those who have not taken the survey will have to
wait until the report is official in Q1 2024.
