AI Could Be Key to Improving Project Success Rates

10% of projects fail globally; in Europe it is 12%In Europe just 71% of projects meet their business goalsUsing AI leads to better decision-making, budgeting, productivity and even increased creativityAI needs human input and oversight to be used successfully, according to PMI’s research

LONDON, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — “AI won’t take your job, but a project manager using AI might,” this is the view of Lysan Drabon, Managing Director, Europe of Project Management Institute, the leading global authority on project success.

Lysan was speaking at the recent Reuters Momentum AI event in London, where she revealed some interesting data from PMI’s latest reports into the adoption and effects of GenAI in project management.

“We are on the brink of understanding how GenAI technologies will fundamentally revolutionise project management and organisations,” said Lysan. “While some of the technical improvements our research shows may be expected, the unexpected gains the high users of AI are seeing to human skills, like creativity and collaboration are particularly striking.

“It is crucial for project professionals to seize the opportunities offered by AI to improve the success of their projects, but we must be cautious not to become over reliant on new technology. AI is incredibly powerful, but it is only as good as the data it has to work with. We must be extremely careful that the information we feed into GenAI tools is accurate, and free from bias. And we must check that the outputs make sense. The role of human oversight is indispensable in this process.

“By using AI tools our work can become more effective and have a greater impact, however, it is critical to maintain control, feed the AI tools with the correct information, verify the information provided by AI and assess its validity. Project managers can harness the opportunities of AI but should view AI tools as junior partners – which have huge potential but still require oversight.”

The announcement follows surging demand from retail brokers for CROSSx, the first and fastest ECN in the cryptocurrency markets.

To further support our retail broker clients, we felt it best to eradicate commissions on the funding element for Taker participants.

Crossover’s mission is to drive down the cost of trading digital assets by focusing on speed, throughput and tailored liquidity via its ECN model. This approach has successfully supported spread compression on the CROSSx crypto ECN, which currently matches 99% of trades in under 10 microseconds and processes billions of quotes per day from liquidity providers.

Mulvihill added, “In addition to tight pricing, CROSSx also addresses the need for advanced best execution practices. Crossover looks at price, size, time and several behavioral characteristics of each market maker and re-ranks every market maker on each trade, in real time. These innovations foster a fairer and more competitive environment.”
