Tiivistelmä
This thesis investigates the effects of digital transformation on how project management operates in the finance and IT sectors for organizations in Oman, Sri Lanka, Australia and the UK. With cloud computing, artificial intelligence and automation taking over, businesses are encouraged to modify their project management techniques to stay on top of the market. The study investigates how digital tools are picked and used and what affects human and organizational behavior when adopting new technologies.
To study the topic, five senior professionals from two sectors (Finance and IT) were interviewed in depth using a qualitative approach. Key themes studied in the research are business-IT alignment, stakeholder management, agile practices, improving workforce skills and leadership strategies. The results show that digitizing project management makes projects more efficient, transparent and collaborative yet also brings problems such as old systems, reluctance to adapt and skills shortage. Achieving successful change in any area depends on effective management, continued learning, and employees getting the support of leaders.
According to the thesis, the best results in project management after digital transformation come from improving technology, training workers, and keeping organizations adaptable.
