Implications of AI For Project Management + What You Need To Know About Data Products

The rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) play a critical role in different business settings. So it comes as no surprise that various tasks related to Project Management are also being transformed with the help of AI.

AI can be used to automate many project management tasks such as scheduling, resource allocation, and risk identification. This is done with the help of AI project management tools that are are now available to help us plan and execute our projects in an efficient and effective manner.

One of the most common uses of AI in project management is scheduling. It helps in predicting how long it will take to complete a task and what resources are required for its completion. AI helps in resource allocation by allocating resources based on their skillsets, availability and location. It also helps in risk identification by predicting possible risks before they occur so that they can be mitigated before they become a problem.

Here are three major implications of AI and how it can transform Project Management at any organization.

1) Role of AI in Administrative Tasks:

Administrative tasks and functions like planning, meeting, and daily updates can be given to AI tools for improved management. A report by KPMG showed a 15% improvement in productivity when organizations used AI tools.

2) Latest AI Systems Can Help Keep Projects Within Budget:

Project Managers required various data and calculations to estimate budget and time durations for projects in the past. But with AI-powered analysis tools, it has become relatively simple to make future projections. Now Project Managers can make decisions regarding future projects with more confidence.

3) Collect Unique Insights From Projects:

A key advantage of using AI technology in project management is that unique insights collected from the data will help address different risks involved in projects. These insights can further help in improving the decision-making capabilities of Project Managers.

The Drivetrain Approach: A process for designing data products

I was reading recently a very interesting article on O’Reilly’s blog: Designing great data products. I thought it would be good to summarise it and add some of my own thoughts, since it touches upon some of the themes that I am also covering in my work.

The blog discusses the issue of using data science to create products. One of the main issues in the design of data products, is that data scientists, quite often, do not have good business understanding. At the same time, people responsible for coming up with the products, e.g. product managers, might not be very familiar with the possibilities and limitations of machine learning.

AI is driving the need for change in project management. AI and data science need to be managed just like any other software and R&D activity, but they also require additional tasks, such as managing the data scientists, expectations and risks.

The simplified project management framework is a great and easy way to think of the project management process. It cuts down on the time needed to manage a project and also helps with tracking tasks and projects more easily. The framework provides an air-tight overview of the entire process, from start to finish. It will be obvious what tasks need to be done when they need to be done by, and who’s responsible for them.

On this event Dr Joseph Mallia is going to talk about this framework, which can be applied in AI, but also related disciplines such as software development
