This paper explores the application of artificial intelligence-driven chatbots in university-level project management education through the lens of the two-year international project ”ChatLearn” conducted across four European countries. Using an action design research methodology, the project iteratively developed and tested a chatbot in three versions, progressively integrating feedback from students and educators. The study suggests that artificial intelligence-based chatbots hold significant promise for supporting personalised learning journeys and increasing student motivation; however, their integration requires careful design, ongoing dialogue within the teaching community, and a strong alignment with pedagogical objectives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100193"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145324157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses this research gap through a systematic literature review of 37 peer-reviewed articles, identifying specific practices that significantly impact megaproject portfolio success. Three critical drivers for success have emerged from this study: Proactive disposition, emphasizing a culture of continuous knowledge sharing and uncertainty mitigation; Flexible governance, reflecting adaptable portfolio structures accommodating diverse contexts; and aligned leadership, highlighting the importance of strategic involvement and commitment of top management. The identified drivers have been used to develop a novel framework that is specifically tailored for megaproject portfolio management. The framework shows how each driver supports core project portfolio management activities like strategic alignment, resource allocation, and risk management, and how they influence key success measures including project performance, strategic fit, portfolio balance, and synergy realization. Our novel contribution is to transcend the potential silos of the established project portfolio management activities by using the three drivers for an outcome-based approach, better suited to navigate the complexity of managing multiple megaprojects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100190"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144907357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study collected data from 201 project staff and managers. The study adopted canonical correlation analysis using SPSS v. 25. The findings revealed a complex and counterintuitive relationship between cost and schedule variables. The study found a strong negative correlation between cost and schedule variables, whereas cost overruns positively influence schedule performance. The study also documented a negative correlation between cost variance and schedule variance. The counterintuitive findings point to a phenomenon of “crisis-driven acceleration”, where high-visibility projects facing cost overruns attract additional resources and attention to maintain schedule adherence despite mounting costs. This study advances the Triple Constraint Theory in three significant ways: revealing complex, non-linear relationships between cost and schedule variables that challenge conventional assumptions; introducing the concept of “contextual constraint prioritisation” as an extension to the theory; and advancing methodological approaches to examining constraint relationships. These contributions enhance our understanding of how the Triple Constraint Theory applies in developing-economy contexts and provide a foundation for further theoretical development in this area. This study bridges the gap between abstract theoretical principles and practical realities, contributing to a more robust and contextually relevant understanding of project constraints.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100188"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144749255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
