Abstract
This study examines the relationship between AI-driven agile project management and corporate sustainability performance using a comprehensive dataset of Chinese listed firms. Drawing on stakeholder theory and resource-based view, we analyze 12,290 firm-year observations from 2019-2024 using difference-in-differences methodology. Our findings reveal that AI-driven agile project management significantly enhances corporate sustainability performance through improved operational efficiency, enhanced stakeholder engagement, accelerated innovation cycles, and strengthened risk management capabilities. The results demonstrate heterogeneous effects across firm size, industry technology intensity, and ownership structure. This research contributes to the emerging literature on digital transformation and sustainability by providing empirical evidence of AI's role in enabling sustainable business practices through agile methodologies.
