The Impact of AI on Project Managers and PMOs
AI is predicted to automate a significant portion of project management work, with estimates ranging from 50% to 80%. Although project managers are unlikely to be replaced entirely, AI will be used to automate tasks and assist in project management activities. AI technologies, such as text generation and schedule assistance, are becoming more common and will augment the work of project managers and other white-collar workers. While this presents exciting opportunities, it also poses challenges for individuals who enjoy administrative tasks, as those roles become automated. Additionally, as organizations adopt AI, professionals need to position themselves for higher-value roles to ensure their relevance and avoid being left without work.
