The rapid pace of technological development, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI), is transforming project management practices across industries. This article explores the use of AI technologies in project management based on a study conducted among IT professionals working in European software development companies with Ukrainian connections. A survey of 23 specialists revealed valuable insights into the current and potential applications of AI in their workflows. The study highlights that AI is primarily used for automating routine tasks such as scheduling, resource allocation, and monitoring. Tools like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Jira-integrated AI plugins are widely employed, while specialized platforms like PMI Infinity and MS Project Cortex remain underutilized in the IT sector. Respondents also acknowledged AI’s role in risk forecasting, data analysis, and enhancing decision-making processes. Most respondents reported that AI has significantly improved their efficiency by saving time, reducing human errors, and enabling better focus on strategic aspects like team development and stakeholder communication. However, the integration of AI is not without challenges, such as employee adaptation and the alignment of AI tools with existing processes. Despite these hurdles, 91% of respondents expressed intentions to further integrate AI into their project management practices, citing its potential for optimizing workflows, improving forecasts, and enhancing cross-team collaboration. The findings emphasize the transformative potential of AI and underline the necessity of continuous adaptation to leverage its benefits fully. This research contributes to the ongoing discussion on AI’s role in project management, providing a foundation for future studies and practical implementations in the field.
