Effective project management is a critical element to the success of any organization in the new framework of Project Economy, where projects have displaced operations as the economic engine of the actual reality (Rodriguez, 2021). In recent years, the project management has seen a notable transformation due to the integration of Artificial Intelligence (Taboada, I., et al., 2023). On the one hand, the impact of the innovation technologies is significant and redefines the project management landscape for efficiency, automation and success. On the other hand, the role competencies and activities carried out by project managers, always defined as key elements for the success of the project, are undergoing a notable transformation (Ribeiro et al., 2021). The objective of this paper is: 1) to analyze the impact of the introduction of artificial intelligence tools on project management at different stages of the project life cycle; 2) to explore how artificial intelligence is changing the role and skills of project managers. Based on the thematic analysis of interviews, the perceptions of project managers and their team members regarding the implementation of AI in project implementation were studied. Based on the results of the analysis, theoretical and practical implications for human resource management were presented and discussed.

Abstract
Effective project management is a critical element to the success of any organization in the new framework of Project Economy, where projects have displaced operations as the economic engine of the actual reality (Rodriguez, 2021). In recent years, the project management has seen a notable transformation due to the integration of Artificial Intelligence (Taboada, I., et al., 2023). On the one hand, the impact of the innovation technologies is significant and redefines the project management landscape for efficiency, automation and success. On the other hand, the role competencies and activities carried out by project managers, always defined as key elements for the success of the project, are undergoing a notable transformation (Ribeiro et al., 2021). The objective of this paper is: 1) to analyze the impact of the introduction of artificial intelligence tools on project management at different stages of the project life cycle; 2) to explore how artificial intelligence is changing the role and skills of project managers. Based on the thematic analysis of interviews, the perceptions of project managers and their team members regarding the implementation of AI in project implementation were studied. Based on the results of the analysis, theoretical and practical implications for human resource management were presented and discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
