Rethinking Project Sucess in the Age of AI
Let’s face it—AI is everywhere.
Every headline, every meeting, and every strategy session seems to revolve around artificial intelligence. And while the possibilities are exciting, it can also be a bit overwhelming. How do we maintain our sanity in the AI era? More importantly, how do we know what to control so AI doesn’t end up controlling us?
That question inspired Avaap’s topic for the PMI Global Summit, where we’ll explore how AI is changing the way we measure project success and why it’s time to move beyond traditional metrics.
Why Traditional Project Metrics Aren’t Enough
We’ve learned that measuring project success by time, scope, and budget alone doesn’t always reflect the full picture. These metrics are useful, but they don’t capture what really matters, such as:
- Long-term adoption
- Stakeholder engagement
- Measurable ROI
Success today means understanding the value a project brings to business, not just whether it was delivered on time. The PMBOK® Guide gives us a foundation, but we need more relevant, forward-looking metrics to thrive in today’s environment.
Embracing AI in Project Management
With AI and advanced analytics, we can stop checking the rear-view mirror and start looking ahead. AI-driven metrics offer predictive insights that help organizations anticipate challenges, make smarter decisions, and improve adoption.
As Harvard Business Review recently noted, thriving in the age of AI requires leaders to develop new skills, rethink structures, and empower teams to embrace change. Rather than aiming to be experts in AI, we should focus on becoming explorers.
What You’ll Learn in Avaap’s Session at PMI Global Summit
Our session will help attendees:
- Identify the key differences between traditional and AI-powered project and change management metrics.
- Apply AI tools to improve decision-making, predict adoption trends, and drive better project outcomes.
We’ll demonstrate how organizations can use machine learning, automation, and predictive analytics to move from reactive to proactive strategies and maximize ROI for each initiative.
Whether you’re a seasoned project manager or just beginning to explore AI’s potential, this session will offer practical insights you can apply right away.
Why This Matters Now
With AI becoming more integrated into every aspect of business, understanding how to use it effectively is no longer optional; it’s essential. As highlighted in Harvard Business Review, organizations must ensure their AI strategies are designed to create real value, not just chase trends.
Join Avaap at the PMI Global Summit to learn how AI is transforming project success—and how you can lead the way.
