Artificial intelligence in project management

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) provides assistance at all stages of project implementation – from planning to achieving specific results and profits. Modelling the practical application of AI tools for various routine and managerial tasks is therefore becoming increasingly relevant. The aim of this study was to examine the role of artificial intelligence and the potential of its tools in project management. The principal research methods were qualitative analysis of academic publications, documents, observations, and web-based content, as well as comparative, generalisation, synthesis, and systemic-logical analyses. Academic publications from 2021-2025 on the research topic were analysed, and studies on the use of artificial intelligence in management were systematised. The websites of companies developing the tools AI, as well as those of reputable international organisations providing project management training, were examined. AI tools developed by leading providers were analysed, and their key characteristics and functionalities were compared. A range of artificial intelligence tools that may be effectively applied in business depending on the project type was also considered. The functionality of each tool and its capabilities for performing specific tasks across various project types were determined. A classification of tools based on project types and objectives was studied. Finally, artificial intelligence tools and possible combinations of several such tools, which can be recommended for practical application, are presented. The practical value of the research results lies in their potential use by managers and specialists to optimise project work.
