Harmonizing AI with Project Management Phases for Sustainable Initiatives

Abstract

Sustainable project management and artificial intelligence (AI) are both interdisciplinary fields that have gained a lot of attention and interest worldwide. Their integration might provide a valuable synergy for organizations in many industries. The paper aims to analyze some of the possible aspects of connecting these two fields within the phases of sustainable project management. Each of the phases: programming, planning, execution and monitoring, and closing and evaluation, has its activities related to obtaining sustainable project results, and there is a space for the application of AI. The research was aimed at exploring the issue of integrating sustainability principles into project management phases to implement projects in line with the organizational strategy of sustainable development. It was important to identify and analyze the phases of sustainable project management to discuss the possibility of involving AI practices in these phases. It was concluded that every phase of sustainable project management provides an environment for involving AI to improve decision-making, implementation, and evaluation processes.
