AI in project management is rapidly transforming the way software is planned, executed and delivered. Projects can be difficult, and even with an experienced project manager (PM), unexpected issues can arise. According to The State of Project Management Report 2025, 46 percent of respondents are somewhat or very dissatisfied with their organization’s project management maturity, particularly in areas such as planning and reporting. These challenges highlight the growing need for intelligent automation and data-driven decisions, which is where artificial intelligence becomes valuable. AI in project management provides efficiency gains, enhances accuracy and frees PMs from repetitive, time-consuming tasks. Understanding how AI supports the full lifecycle of a project can help organizations deliver software faster and smarter.
