ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INFLUENCE IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT: A LITERATURE REVIEW

An increasing number of technological solutions demonstrate the influence of artificial
intelligence in project management. Its algorithms can identify both problems and their solutions
within the project management processes. These artificial intelligence-based technologies can solve
complex problems, allowing project managers to focus more on creativity and innovation. This study
aims to analyse, first the literature from bibliometric perspective and moving forward with the
literature to identify enablers and barriers to artificial intelligence adoption in project management,
offering insights into the state of research and practice into the studied domain. To conduct the
literature search, two major databases were utilized, respectively Scopus and Web of Science. Out
of 2123 records, 68 were retained for content analysis. The study highlights how artificial
intelligence solutions proactively adapt to dynamic projects and help in optimizing resource
allocation. Enablers such as natural language processes and machine learning applications are
destined to stakeholders for analysis purposes. Lastly, the study also investigates the barriers that
persist in widespread adoption of artificial intelligence solutions in project management. The
literature emphasizes that artificial intelligence adoption in project management depends not only
on technological readiness but also on developing organizational capabilities.
