What Does the Future of Project Management Look Like?

/in /by

Many project management trends are shaping how we work. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be the biggest force with the largest, lasting effect. In fact, in PMI’s Pulse of the Profession survey, 81% of respondents reported their organization is already being impacted by AI technologies.

Technology writer Peter Giffen believes,

“AI could incorporate data analytics and automatically analyze project team data, providing clear indications about how to improve performance.”

As outlined in this Forbes article, in addition to AI, there are three other project management trends we can expect in the near future:

  1. Project managers will need both AI and EI skills: EI — emotional intelligence — is becoming a required skill in the PM space. The ability to understand other humans is critical. Read this article for other essential project management skills.
  2. Adoption of customized or hybrid PM approaches: Gone are the days where a single PM methodology will suffice. It’s likely that models will need to be flexible to accommodate different teams and various projects.
  3. A more diverse team structure: As mentioned above, your team will grow more diverse. Though ultimately a positive trend, increasingly diverse teams will also create a broad range of challenges as teams collaborate effectively and efficiently.

No matter what, project management is here to stay! But not all project management software is created equal. The best project management software for you depends on your needs. We’ve outlined which we believe is the top choice below.
