Applying Artificial Intelligence to Project Management

Projects Are Notoriously Late, Over Budget, And Difficult To Manage. This Book Is Not About Finding Why Projects Fail But Finding Ways To Make Them Successful. We Live In A Project Economy Where Close To 100 Million People Will Be Performing Project Work And The Value Of Project Activities Will Reach 20 Trillion Dollars By 2027. Projects Are At The Heart Of The Greatest Human Accomplishments, Whether Constructing A New Supply Of Electricity, Finding A Cure For A Disease, Or Planning For Humans To Survive On Mars. The High Failure Rate And Poor Project Performance Detract From The Product Or Service Produced. A More Intense Focus Is Required On How To Significantly Improve Project Success. Artificial Intelligence (ai) Technology Is The Opportunity To Achieve Extraordinary Improvement In Project Performance. Project Managers Need To Lead The Change For Ai To Become An Integral Part Of The Project Methodology. The World Needs Projects To Succeed, And Ai Technology Can Make That Happen. Deploying Ai In Project Management Requires A Knowledge Of Ai Fundamentals, Which Are The Foundation For Current And Future Ai Development. Data Management Is A Critical Element In Ai Technology. Data Is Essential For All Software, But Even More So For Ai-based Machine Learning Algorithms. It Is Important To Understand How Software Depends On Data And Can Only Achieve Results When The Data Is Properly Managed. A Practical Approach Is Required To Prepare And Use Data. Concepts Such As Structured Data, Data Wrangling, And Feature Engineering Are Critical For Ai Deployments. Ai Solutions Are Being Deployed Now For Project Management, And It Is Important To Understand How These Solutions Work And How They Improve Project Performance. The Fundamentals Of Ai Are Based On Machine Learning Methods Such As Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, And Reinforcement Learning. Understanding How These Three Main Methods Work Also Provides Knowledge Of How Implementing Ai In Project Management Produces Results. This Is The Most Important Content In The Book Because It Outlines Information Critical For Deploying Ai And Being Able To Interact Knowledgeably With Ai Software Vendors-- Provided By Publisher.
