"Data is the new oil" has become a popular refrain for the digital age where Big Data technologies finally enable Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence to play out their full capabilities. Organizations welcome the opportunity to leverage the power of data to make informed business decisions, improve their operational efficiency, and gain a competitive advantage.

While new data economy is in full swing and many projects underway for digital transformation and disruption of various areas such as Marketing, HR, or Sales, the project management domain itself is still behind with the adoption of modern technologies to take advantage of insights from data. Organizations that will invest in the efforts to transform their project management practices towards a technology- and data-driven discipline will be the ones to truly thrive in the digital age, as improved and more effective project management will provide positive impacts on an entire organization.

The presentation will provide an overview of projected steps and challenges in the transition towards a data-driven project management practice.
