Communication in Project Management

11

• Communication theorist Harold Lasswell defines communication as “who says what to whom in what channel with what effect”.

• It has been said that 90% of a project manager's time is spent communicating what is going to be done with stakeholders and project team.

• Project Communication used to be the art of sharing information, an idea, or an attitude among the team involved in that particular project.

• Communication involves transmitting information between the sender and the receiver.


Project Management Integration

12

• Project integration management coordinates all the aspects of a project to ensure that it runs smoothly.

• Integration is essential for project managers who have to schedule tasks, evaluate resources, buy products, and manage outcomes for different

project activities.

• There are some gaps in traditional project management solutions that made them inefficient.

• Project Manager need to gather information from e-mails, merge it into a bigger picture, manually update plans, communicate the updated version to

team members and report the progress to the top manager. This seriously decreases productivity on all levels in the organization, including top

managers' productivity.

• It is hard to get a picture of where the business stands if you simply rely on thousands of e-mails spread across hundreds of mailboxes.



What is Industry 4.0

13

• Industry 4.0 is the current trend of automation and data

exchange in manufacturing technologies. It combines

production methods with state-of-the-art information and

communications technology.

• The term, Industry 4.0 completely encounters to a wide

range of concepts including increments in mechanization

and automation, digitalization, networking and

miniaturization

17

• Industry 4.0’s core is the dynamic configuration mode of productions.

• In order to ensure the best competitiveness, the integrated management of the projects will become increasingly important and, as a result, the project

teams will become more and more focused on specific objectives related with diverse elements of Industry 4.0.

• Most of business tasks and processes that do not require analytical and design skills such as back-office tasks will be progressively automated.

• It is sure that project managers and teams will require higher variant soft skills and hard skills than those needed in the past and a greater degree of

autonomy in order to handle industry 4.0 projects.

• The project teams will be increasingly delocalized, with people that will interact from different places of the world and they all have their own cultural

and professional identity that needs to be integrated.



18

• Projects should be managed in an agile approach, as changes will be very rapid in such environment.

• With industry 4.0 automation and data exchange, decision making can become a quick process and project manager will have the ability to consider

all angles of complex problems and solves them efficiently.

• Having a talented workforce, adaptive project managers and an adaptive company culture can greatly increase a project’s chances of success and

ability to manage any risks in its path in the new world of Industry 4.0


Project Management Using Emerging Technologies

19

• The future of project management will be heavily influenced by technological

breakthroughs, and there is no doubt that AI will change the course of how

project management tasks are delivered and controlled in the future.

• Practitioners are convinced that AI will evolve from simple task automation to

predictive project analytics

• Project managers get numerous benefits starting from easier collaboration to

more accurate reporting via emerging technologies.


How AI helps Project Managers

20

• Project managers can turn wayward projects around by adding applied intelligence to performance monitoring tools. Project managers can turn

wayward projects around by adding applied intelligence to performance monitoring tools. This way, you can track progress and be warned of potential

risks that threaten project delivery.

• With your main goal being to avoid any surprises as you near the end of project delivery, the 3 areas where AI provides conflict-resolution are:

• Risk Estimation: You can factor in budgeting and scheduling constraints to make informed decisions on risk management. And when you start out,

healthy completion levels seem likely for your project. With Machine learning, however, you can retrieve parametric information as and when

required. For instance, you can use past data such as planned start and end dates to predict realistic timelines for future projects.

• Resource Management: AI examines the history of past projects, which give you real-time information on resource engagement. Based on this,

you’d know if your resources are ready to be deployed. You can even add extra hands or take people off the project if a disparity rises in the hours

required versus projected availability.

• Predictive Analytics: Intuitive forecasting is a statistical approach that validates your project. Not only does it point you to the right number and

type of resources (both human and technical) needed, but also reduces labor costs. Additionally, predictive analytical tools contain the exception

handling feature, which points you to an excess or shortage of the right resources.



21

• Cloud collaboration tools and other innovations have begun to replace email, successful project managers continue to use the latest technology to

share updates, documents and other critical information with their project team.

• Advances in communication technology can build project teams with stakeholders located in various places over the world.

• The high availability of analytical technology can enable project managers to use various analytical reports and drill-down charts to break down

complex project data and predict their behavior and outcomes in real-time

• Real-time project analytics reveals a wealth of information that helps organizations align with their strategic objectives.



22

• Augmented Reality Can be used also in Construction Inspection



Future Skills for Project Managers

24

• According to a survey done by PMI, it shows that the role of the project manager is expanding to:

• Strategic Advisor: plans, executes, and delivers

• Innovator: acts as product owner and developer

• Communicator: is always clear and concise—no matter the audience

• Big Thinker: is adaptable, flexible, and emotionally intelligent

• Versatile Manager: has experience with all approaches—waterfall, Scrum, agile, lean,

• The constantly-changing technical landscape— from social media, to web-based tools, to learning management systems—will present

tremendous opportunities for exploration and experimentation.


Future Skills for Project Managers

25

• The most important hard skill for Project Managers is experience with innovative technologies and projects, predictive algorithms and big data analysis

that will help them manage projects correctly and stay focused on the objectives to be achieved.

• Humans are always at the center of Industry 4.0, dominating through their know-how and skills to use the tools that will guide success.

• In Industry 4.0, the soft skills of project managers will undergo a significant transformation—mainly linked to the new ways of interacting with project

stakeholders:

• Communication skills: the management and sharing of knowledge will take on a vital role.

• Authority: An authoritative PM will have to create consensus, involve his or her team in the processes, be available to get involved and

demonstrate skills in valuing resources.

• Team management: With the delocalization of the project teams, the project manager should be able to choose the right people for the

composition of the team—both from a technical/cognitive and a relational point of view

• Management of contingencies: Project managers must have consistent problem-solving capacity and act quickly, maintaining the right balance at

the same time.

• Learning from mistakes: Industry 4.0 Projects may often have to start from scratch.

Transformation of Project Management in Industry 4.0

Final Thoughts

28

• Complexity and uncertainty, two main theoretical traditions in project management play a big part in Industry 4.0 projects, shaping and defining

necessary features to handle the workload and they are related with the increasing complexity of the projects. Traditional project management styles

have to be changed in order to adapt with industry 4.0 and disruptive technologies. There are many challenges to industry 4.0 project managers,

especially ways of management and technical skills. Although there are specialized project managers related with each element of Industry 4.0, it is

sure that project manager must have enhanced soft skills and hard skills to accomplish the complex and autonomous Industry 4.0 projects.
