Purpose

The purpose of this essay is to illustrate how project management “pull” and AI or analytics technology “push” are likely to result in incremental and disruptive evolution of project management capabilities and practices.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper is written as a critical essay reflecting the experience and reflections of the author with many ideas drawn from and extending selected items from project management, artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics literatures.

Findings

Neither AI nor sophisticated analytics is likely to elicit hands on attention from project managers, other than those producing AI or analytics-based artifacts or using these tools to create their products and services. However, through the conduit of packaged software support for project management, new tools and approaches can be expected to more effectively support current activities, to streamline or eliminate activities that can be automated, to extend current capabilities with the availability of increased data, computing capacity and mathematically based algorithms and to suggest ways to reconceive how projects are done and whether they are needed.

Research limitations/implications

This essay includes projections of possible, some likely and some unlikely, events and states that have not yet occurred. Although the hope and purpose are to alert readers to the possibilities of what may occur as logical extensions of current states, it is improbable that all such projections will come to pass at all or in the way described. Nonetheless, consideration of the future ranging from current trends, the interplay among intersecting trends and scenarios of future states can sharpen awareness of the effects of current choices regarding actions, decisions and plans improving the probability that the authors can move toward desired rather than undesired future states.

Practical implications

Project managers not involved personally with creating AI or analytics products can avoid mastering detailed skill sets in AI and analytics, but should scan for new software features and affordances that they can use enable new levels of productivity, net benefit creation and ability to sleep well at night.

Originality/value

This essay brings together AI, analytics and project management to imagine and anticipate possible directions for the evolution of the project management domain.

项目管理:人工智能和高级分析中断的机会

目的

这篇文章的目的是说明项目管理“拉动”和人工智能或分析技术“推动”如何可能导致项目管理能力和实践的增量和破坏性演变。

设计/方法/方法

这篇论文是一篇批判性文章,反映了作者的经验和反思,其中的许多想法来自并扩展了项目管理、人工智能 (AI) 和分析文献中的选定项目。

发现

除了生产人工智能或基于分析的工件或使用这些工具来创建产品和服务的项目经理之外,人工智能和复杂的分析都不可能引起项目经理的关注。然而,通过对项目管理的打包软件支持渠道,新的工具和方法有望更有效地支持当前的活动,简化或消除可以自动化的活动,通过增加数据的可用性来扩展当前的能力,计算能力和基于数学的算法,并建议重新构思项目如何完成以及是否需要它们的方法。

研究限制/影响

这篇文章包括对可能的、一些可能的和一些不太可能的事件和尚未发生的状态的预测。尽管希望和目的是提醒读者注意当前状态的逻辑扩展可能发生的事情,但所有这些预测都不可能完全实现或以所描述的方式实现。尽管如此,从当前趋势、交叉趋势和未来状态情景之间的相互作用考虑未来,可以提高对当前选择对行动、决策和计划的影响的认识,从而提高作者朝着理想而不是不希望的未来迈进的可能性状态。

实际影响

未亲自参与创建 AI 或分析产品的项目经理可以避免掌握 AI 和分析方面的详细技能集,但应扫描他们可以使用的新软件功能和可供性,以实现更高水平的生产力、净收益创造和良好睡眠的能力夜晚。

原创性/价值

本文将人工智能、分析和项目管理结合起来,想象和预测项目管理领域发展的可能方向。
