Abstract
The exponential rise of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is revolutionising project management, necessitating a significant evolution in the competencies required to navigate its transformative impact. As AGI advances beyond narrow AI, offering capabilities like predictive analytics 80–85% accuracy, real-time resource optimisation 15–20% savings, and autonomous decision-making, it reshapes how projects are conceived, executed, and delivered, particularly in turbulent environments like Ukraine’s. This paper explores how AGI’s growth drives the need for new project management competencies, addressing gaps in
traditional skills amid economic instability 15–20% inflation, infrastructural challenges 0.6–0.7 probability of disruptions, and a BANI context (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible). Through a proposed framework, it identifies seven critical competencies: AGI literacy, data-driven decision-making, ethical governance, human-AI collaboration, adaptive resilience, cross-disciplinary coordination, and innovationdriven value creation. Drawing on case studies such as Kyiv’s “Fayna Town” residential complex serving 15,000 residents and a proposed Left Bank transport hub connecting 1 million, the study demonstrates how these competencies enhance project outcomes—reducing costs by $3–7 million and timelines by 2–3 months—while aligning with societal needs. The framework offers a roadmap for upskilling project managers, integrating AGI’s potential with human expertise to achieve sustainable, value-driven results. This research contributes to the evolving field of AGI-augmented project management, providing actionable insights for professionals to thrive in an increasingly complex, technology-driven landscape.
