AI for Project & Program Management: Core

This course helps project and program managers use AI for planning, reporting, risk tracking, and stakeholder communication. Learners apply AI to estimation, status updates, risk and dependency tracking, meeting notes, and stakeholder comms. They leave running tighter projects with less overhead.

What this course covers

The course runs across 10 topics, each one a short adaptive session rather than a recorded lecture. The tutor explains the idea, works an example, checks understanding, and adjusts the next step to the answer given.

AI-Driven Project Planning & Estimation — Learn how to use AI to draft project plans, break down work structures, and generate realistic effort estimations. Includes a hands-on exercise prompting an AI tool to build a project timeline based on a raw scope document.
Scenario: Handling Estimation Discrepancies — An interactive decision-making exercise where you must evaluate AI-generated project estimates against historical team velocity and negotiate realistic timelines with stakeholders.
Automating Status Reports & Executive Updates — Practice feeding disparate project tracking data into an AI assistant to generate concise, audience-appropriate status updates and progress reports.
Proactive Risk & Dependency Tracking with AI — Learn how to prompt AI to identify hidden dependencies, analyze risk registers, and suggest mitigation strategies for complex, multi-thread programs.
Scenario: Navigating a High-Risk Project Delay — A branching scenario where an unexpected dependency threatens a major milestone. Use AI to run a post-mortem, assess impact, and choose the best path forward to realign the project.
Synthesizing Meeting Notes into Actionable Tasks — Master the art of transforming raw meeting transcripts and messy notes into structured action items, owners, deadlines, and key decisions using AI templates.
Tailoring Stakeholder Communications — Learn how to leverage AI to translate technical project updates into tailored communications for diverse audiences, from engineering teams to C-suite executives.
Scenario: Managing Difficult Stakeholder Conversations — A role-play simulation where you use AI-drafted talking points to deliver bad news regarding a project delay to a challenging sponsor, adapting your approach based on real-time feedback.
Establishing AI Governance & Guardrails in PMO — Best practices for ensuring data privacy, verifying AI-generated outputs for accuracy, and establishing team-wide rules for responsible AI usage in project management.
Capstone Exercise: The AI-Powered Project Launch — Synthesize all skills learned by using AI to kick off a simulated project: generate the charter, build the risk register, draft the communication plan, and set up the status dashboard.
