- Will AI replace project managers?
- In Smartsheet's 2025 survey, 74% of project and portfolio managers worried AI could replace their role within five years, though 87% saw it as an enabler. The BLS still projects 7% job growth for US project management specialists from 2025 to 2035, and PMI expects up to 29.8 million more project professionals to be needed globally by 2035.
How these figures were chosen
We selected figures that bear on choosing project management software and took each from the organization that produced it: company filings for vendor metrics, the BLS for US employment and pay, and the survey owner for opinion data (PMI, APM, Gallup, Microsoft, Atlassian, Smartsheet, Digital.ai, Capterra, Wellingtone). PMI's own press pages could not be fetched for checking, so PMI figures are quoted from republished PMI announcements. Vendor metrics use each company's own definitions, so customer counts and retention rates are not directly comparable across firms. Surveys rely on self-selected respondents and differ in region and year. The Wellingtone figures date from 2023 and are labeled as the latest edition available. Every quote was copied from the publisher's page and re-checked by our source checker. Read the methodology.
