The study aimed to evaluate the impact of digital transformation (digital strategy, digital culture, digital leadership, digital capabilities, and digital infrastructure) on project management (project scope management, project schedule management, project cost management, project quality management, project resource management, and project risk management) at the Royal Jordanian Geographic Center in Jordan. The study used a descriptive-analytical approach by reviewing the previous literature and conducting interviews with 35 employees at the middle and upper administrative levels (project manager, department head, and director) to evaluate the impact of digital transformation on project management at the Royal Jordanian Geographic Center.
The study concluded with a set of findings, including: Digital transformation at the Royal Jordanian Geographic Center improves project management by reducing costs, determining the time required to complete the project, and improving project quality. It also helps improve operations, increase efficiency, and ultimately achieves project success, In addition, digital transformation helps achieve the strategic goals of the Royal Jordanian Geographic Center, such as improving quality and efficiency, increasing innovation, and improving customer service.
The study provided several recommendations, the most important of which are: Developing a digital transformation plan, defining project goals, timeline, and budget, providing training for employees on how to use new digital technologies in project management, conducting future studies on the impact of artificial intelligence in project management.
