Abstract
The objective of this paper is to examine the effect of AI on decision making in project management. More specifically, the paper looks into the quality, integrity and volume of the data collected by AI systems which is then displayed for the project manager to carry out project decisions. After conducting secondary research in which numerous academic articles were read and information was collected from multiple regions and primary research in which 13 IT managers and Project managers were interviewed, the drawn conclusion was that AI application improves data quality and integrity leading to improved speed and effectiveness of decision making in both single and multiple project environments.
