Project Management Trends - 2025

1. Increased use of AI Integration and Automation

Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, automation and data collection / analysis are expected to become the cornerstone in project management strategies.  Not only performing repeatable daily tasks, that require human effort, via automation but also complex scheduling and making informed decision based on insights. 

2. Inclusion of Hybrid Project Management Approaches

Historically companies have controlled their projects utilising a consistent and standard project management methodology.  With the change in corporate environments (a greater adoption of Cloud technology) and the use of alternative methodologies such as Kanban, Agile, Scrum etc, there is a growing need for flexibility.   Companies are adopting hybrid project management approaches to be able to deliver their goals in the most effective and efficient way for them.
