IDC PeerScape: Lessons Learned from Leveraging AI in Project and Portfolio Management

This IDC PeerScape explores the impact of GenAI and other AI solutions on the PPM discipline from two angles:Preparing PPM structures and methodologies for AI: AI projects are different from traditional software projects; it is critical that PPM project structures and methodologies are defined and adapted to accommodate the new dynamics of AI projects within the organization.Applying AI to the project management office (PMO): AI solutions can be applied directly to the PPM function itself; how can AI solutions be best applied now and in the future to help optimize PPM performance?"The opportunities to exploit AI to help optimize the PMO are massive. Not only will AI projects be more successful, but the PMO itself can deliver improved performance and best practices," says Bob Multhaup, adjunct research advisor with IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP).
