Exploring the application of artificial intelligence in project management: A systematic literature review

Projects play a crucial role in the success and development of industries, organizations and businesses, hence making project management an important practice which needs to be up to date with new trends and modern technology such as artificial intelligence (AI). With the advent of artificial intelligence there have been a number of studies aimed to design and introduce new ways and means of utilizing this phenomenon into project management. This research aims to find AI methods, tools, approaches, models and frameworks for each of the project management knowledge domains introduced by PMboK. The methodology followed the PRISMA guidelines for systematic literature reviews to collect, screen and analyze the literature to find relevant studies. The findings presented bibliographic data on the topic and current trends, frequently used AI methods and project management techniques and tools which benefit from these AI methods under each project management domain.

Abstract

Projects play a crucial role in the success and development of industries, organizations and businesses, hence making project management an important practice which needs to be up to date with new trends and modern technology such as artificial intelligence (AI). With the advent of artificial intelligence there have been a number of studies aimed to design and introduce new ways and means of utilizing this phenomenon into project management. This research aims to find AI methods, tools, approaches, models and frameworks for each of the project management knowledge domains introduced by PMboK. The methodology followed the PRISMA guidelines for systematic literature reviews to collect, screen and analyze the literature to find relevant studies. The findings presented bibliographic data on the topic and current trends, frequently used AI methods and project management techniques and tools which benefit from these AI methods under each project management domain.
