Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in IT project management is reshaping traditional practices by boosting efficiency, mitigating risks, and enhancing decision-making processes. This conceptual research paper examines the key success factors influenced by AI in the context of IT project management within India. The ongoing digital transformation in India, along with the increasing intricacies of IT projects, demands novel approaches to resource management, schedule adherence, and stakeholder alignment. This study investigates how AI technologies such as predictive analytics, machine learning, and intelligent automation are revolutionizing project planning, execution, and monitoring. By focusing on the specific challenges and opportunities within the Indian IT sector, the research identifies critical AI-driven factors that contribute to project success, including better accuracy in forecasting, more effective risk management, and optimized resource distribution. Moreover, the paper explores AI’s role in enhancing team collaboration across dispersed locations, maintaining high-quality standards, and enabling timely decision-making. The research also addresses potential challenges to AI adoption in Indian IT project management, such as resistance to technological change, the necessity for skilled professionals, and ethical considerations surrounding AI use. Through an extensive review of existing literature and relevant case studies, this paper offers a framework for understanding how AI can be effectively utilized to achieve successful project outcomes in India’s IT industry. this study aims to contribute to the broader discussion on AI in project management by providing insights into how Indian IT companies can leverage AI technologies to improve project success rates and foster sustainable growth in a globally competitive environment.
