Gurugram, 22 August 2024: A recent survey by Capterra among 200 project managers highlights the transformative impact of AI-enabled project management software on project outcomes and the growing adoption of emotional intelligence (EQ) within the field.

In addition to AI, the survey reports an increase in the use of EQ among project managers. A notable 93% have ramped up their EQ application in the past two years, with 60% frequently integrating EQ techniques into their roles, leading to better decision-making (66%) and improved team management (53%).
Analyst Sukanya Awasthi emphasized the importance of balancing human judgment with AI outcomes. "Modern workplaces require a shift from traditional management styles. Businesses should start small with AI, regularly review models, and maintain a balance with human judgment for optimal results in AI integration," Awasthi said.
