Abstract(s)

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence is pressing the need to understand how organisations can integrate it into namely project management to enhance performance and outcomes. Through a systematic literature review, this paper explores artificial intelligence's potential use in project management. The thematic analysis of relevant literature identified key project management knowledge areas, such as integration, scope, communication, risk and stakeholder management, were as domains where artificial intelligence holds significant potential. The study further investigates the relationship between these knowledge areas and the most suitable types of artificial intelligence tools, such as generative artificial intelligence, and machine learning algorithms for optimisation and automation, based on the dominant knowledge type each knowledge area requires, namely formal, data-driven, or tacit knowledge. Based on the main findings, the study proposes a conceptual framework for the integration of artificial intelligence tools in project management, offering valuable insights for scholars and practitioners. Moreover, guidelines for future research to accelerate the wide adoption of artificial intelligence in the field are proposed.
