Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Project Management has become a game-changer. In 2025, AI today takes us into the realm where advanced AI Project Management tools, combined with human capabilities, elevate our Project Management practices through enhanced Decision Support and Augmentation of AI. These AI PM tools enable extraordinary performance using data analysis, predictive modeling, and workflow optimization, transforming the way we plan, execute, and deliver projects.

To overcome current Project Management challenges, a strategic and systematic approach to utilizing the best AI Project Management tools to support Decision Support and Augmentation is imperative. The solution focuses on identifying typical failure points and establishing an effective execution framework. Multiple Solutions focus on the following areas:

• Predictive Analytics
• Proactive Risk Management
• AI-Driven Project Automation

So, how can organizations improve their projects’ success rate? How can we use AI to influence the key factors which influence the success of our projects?

This paper explores key AI Tools that influence project success by using Decision Support and Augmentation along with Human interaction. Based upon the author’s experience in leading projects across multiple industries, this paper will discuss key AI Project Management tools that address common issues when managing Projects.

Introduction

According to Pierre Le Manh, President and CEO of PMI, Project Management Institute, Artificial Intelligence creates an amazing opportunity for project managers to lead both the transformation of the project profession and industries by using Artificial Intelligence. “GenAI offers real promise for helping to drive more successful projects. The time is now for organizations to adopt this disruptive, and potentially revolutionary, technology. And the time is now for project managers to upskill and to lead the AI transformations within their organizations and their profession,” stated Pierre Le Manh [12].

While the adoption rate of AI by industry is growing by up to 20% annually [3], and companies using or exploring the use of AI has grown to 77% [13], firms with full-scale Gen AI rollout is only approximately 5.4%. “Despite widespread reports of organizations heavily investing in AI, the 2023 PMI Annual Global Survey on Project Management found that only 21% respondents are using AI always or often when managing projects. Compared to the 82% of senior leaders who say AI will have at least some impact on projects, there’s a disconnect between current and aspirational AI use. Project professionals need to embrace and experiment with AI, and PMI Infinity provides a trusted and easily accessible AI-powered resource they can use on the job,” [12].
