Aim: This study explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the role of project managers, focusing on the analysis of three key AI-powered tools: Wrike AI, JIRA with Atlassian Intelligence, and Microsoft Project with Copilot AI. It also examines how these tools are shaping the evolution of project managers’ skills. Methodology: The research methodology includes a literature review and critical analysis of the selected tools, examining their capabilities in automating tasks, enhancing risk analysis, and generating reports. Results: The study shows that AI significantly enhances efficiency and decision-making in project management, especially in automating routine tasks. However, complete automation cannot replace human skills in managing complex projects. Implications and recommendations: Project managers must develop competencies in AI collaboration, data analysis, and ethical considerations. Future research should explore the evolving role of AI in supporting more complex project management tasks. Originality/value: This study offers valuable insights into integrating AI in project management, highlighting the need for a balanced approach between automation and human expertise.
