While Industry 4.0 concept is implementing, most of the working environment are automatized and interoperated as a smart factory
with Cyber Physical Systems, Internet of Things and Big Data being processed real time using cloud computing. Industry 4.0 has
brought many careers to transform and businesses to change as well. One of those careers is industry 4.0 project manager that gets
another dimension with coming of Industry 4.0. Traditional project management strategies need to be transformed in fourth
industrialization because it is a challenging job with a lot of variations. After analyzing necessary skills and responsibilities of
traditional software development project managers and industry 4.0 project managers, there are many changes and challenges in
industry 4.0 project manager. Transformations include digitization and automation of manufacturing operations, connecting various
machines with multiple software platforms and interconnecting departments within production environment, collecting and analyzing
big data stream, providing data to partners such as suppliers and machine builders, monitoring IoT predictive maintenance and cloud
platforms, and virtual and augmented reality. This paper is one of the initial attempts to highlight the importance of industry 4.0 project
management in implementing the fourth industrial revolution successfully although most of the recent studies are talking about
technological aspect.
