Gartner Strategic Planning Assumptions for PPM leaders through 2029

Gartner says,

"By 2028, PPM organizations with AI-ready data foundations will achieve 70% higher AI accuracy than peers using low-quality data, enabling better investment returns."

AI is rapidly transforming how organizations make portfolio decisions, offering unprecedented capabilities in predictive analytics, optimization, and automated planning. However, the promise of AI-driven insights can only be realized when built upon a solid foundation of quality data and proper governance. Many PPM leaders are rushing to adopt AI tools without first establishing the data readiness, competencies, and financial controls necessary for success. This gap between AI adoption and organizational preparedness is creating a critical risk for strategic initiatives.

Access the full report now and learn how to position your organization for AI-enabled portfolio management success, including:

  • AI-ready data foundations and governance frameworks

  • Context engineering and evolved AI competencies

  • Financial control integration for improved ROI

  • The shifting technology landscape and vendor ecosystem
