Renato Lopes da Costa, Álvaro Lopes Dias, (2022)

Artificial intelligence in project management is said to be one of the trends of the future, with
automation and human-machine collaboration. Although artificial intelligence applied to the project
management area is not a novelty, its potentiality in all knowledge areas is still questionable (Renato
Lopes da Costa, Álvaro Lopes Dias, 2022). It is recognized the benefits of artificial intelligence
tools to optimize and perform tasks that are rule-based, such as scheduling, cost estimation or risk

10
assessment. However, in areas that require empathy, human resources management or decision
making the artificial intelligence applicability is more questioned. In the research by (Renato Lopes
da Costa, Álvaro Lopes Dias, 2022) the results of the questionnaires showed that artificial
intelligence is not considered to support leadership and cognitive skills. From the same research it
also showed some evidence that there is a lack of knowledge of artificial intelligence in project
management. Complementary to this approach Younus (2021) set an artificial intelligence-powered
communication and engagement system that was an alternative to the conventional system. The
research concluded that it is missing human interaction and that it is emotionless. However, this last
limitation can have its advantages as it eliminates eventual bias in decision making. With all this it
is vital to reinforce the research in these areas so that knowledge is obtained in a level of certainty
that allows companies and individuals to understand and comprehend the broader line of
applicability of artificial intelligence in project management. The study of such prolifically
addressed subjects as artificial intelligence and project management may not be a soft task.
However, the resort to a systematic literature review has proven to be a resourceful tool in this case.
After defining the objective of the study, the process of defining keywords, platforms in which to
research, and the criteria for selecting the final articles to analyses, was quite simple.

According to M. Wauters and M. Vanhoucke(2019) it was found that AI useful in solving

purchasing issues. Useful in three areas, strategy, tactics and operationally. Also improves
companies’ adaptability capacities. Additionally Ahmed Muayad Younus(2021) concluded in their
paper that there are Promising future of AI in PM, especially in areas where data is useful in
estimation and planning. Schedules, adjust forecasts, and maintain baselines. The least influenced
by AI knowledge areas are the ones with human leadership skills and recommended more scientific
research is required.

The publication by Ahmed Muayad Younus (2021) explored the application of artificial intelligence
in the field of project management. The author delved into how AI technologies could enhance
various aspects of project management services, such as planning, scheduling, resource allocation,
risk management, and decision-making. Younus discussed how AI could automate repetitive tasks,
provide insights through data analysis, and improve overall efficiency in project management
processes. The publication highlighted the benefits of incorporating AI tools and techniques in
project management, including increased accuracy, cost savings, and better decision support.

11
Furthermore, the author addressed potential challenges and considerations when implementing AI in
project management services, such as data privacy concerns, integration with existing systems, and
the need for specialized skills among project managers.

Jesús Gil Ruiz, Javier Martínez Torres, and Rubén González Crespo collaborated on this research in
2020 to explore the impact of AI technologies on project management. Through their study, they
examined how AI tools could be integrated into various project management tasks to streamline
processes and boost efficiency. The authors discussed specific applications of AI, such as predictive
