Abstract

In an era characterized by rapid technological advancements and dynamic market conditions, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in project management has emerged as a pivotal driver for achieving agility. This paper explores the multifaceted role of AI in enhancing agile project management practices, focusing on innovations, challenges, and benefits. Through a comprehensive review of current literature and industry practices, we identify key AI technologies that facilitate improved decision-making, predictive analytics, and resource optimization. The paper discusses how AI tools can automate routine tasks, enable real-time data analysis, and provide actionable insights, thereby increasing the efficiency and responsiveness of project teams. Moreover, we address the challenges associated with AI integration, including data privacy concerns, the need for upskilling project managers, and the potential for over- reliance on technology. By presenting case studies and empirical evidence, this paper demonstrates the tangible benefits of AI-driven agility in project management, such as enhanced adaptability, reduced project timelines, and improved stakeholder satisfaction. The findings underscore the importance of a strategic approach to AI adoption, ensuring that technological innovations align with organizational goals and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
