As technology advances and automation finds its way into multiple aspects of both business and personal life, many organisations now need to undergo continual digital transformation – with artificial intelligence (AI) at the forefront.
From predictive analytics to intelligent chatbots, AI is being used to automate routine tasks and provide more qualitative decision-making capabilities, bringing about exciting new possibilities for the project management industry. As AI has the potential to revolutionise the way project teams are currently working, but only if they know how to do so effectively.
In this blog, we will discuss some ways AI can be useful for project managers, the impact it will have on the industry and why learning and development is more important than ever to ensure this technology is utilised to its full potential.

Training in established project and programme management methodologies, such as PRINCE2®, MSP®, and Praxis Framework™, provides an individual with a comprehensive understanding of the project management principles and methodologies that can prove essential when trying to integrate new technologies into an existing workflow.

Abilities such as communication, leadership, teamwork, conflict resolution and negotiation, will continue to be essential in managing project teams and stakeholders.
