Course Description

The world as project managers know it is changing rapidly. This course is intended to provide project managers with practical, responsible techniques for using AI as a decision-support assistant across the project development and delivery process. Instead of replacing professional judgement, AI will be positioned as a tool for analyzing information, clarifying alternatives and communicating decisions in a timely manner. 

Participants learn practical, responsible ways to use AI to support estimating, risk management, forecasting, change impact assessment and executive communication. Through real‑world examples, guided prompts and hands‑on exercises, the course focuses on strengthening decision quality — not replacing professional accountability. 

Designed for practicing project managers and project management leaders, this course emphasizes governance‑aware, ethical AI use that enhances leadership effectiveness, accelerates insight and improves communication. Participants leave with practical techniques, reusable prompts and a clear framework for integrating AI into everyday project decision support — immediately and responsibly. 

Value to the Organization 

Organizations benefit from project managers who make clearer, faster and more consistent decisions — especially in environments with uncertainty, complexity and competing priorities. 

This course helps organizations: 

  • Improve the quality and consistency of project decisions by supporting analysis, trade‑off evaluation and scenario thinking 
  • Reduce decision bottlenecks by enabling PMs to prepare decision‑ready insights rather than raw data 

  • Strengthen governance and risk management by reinforcing human accountability with AI‑assisted insight 

  • Enhance executive and stakeholder communication through clearer framing of impacts, options and recommendations 

  • Accelerate responsible AI adoption without introducing unmanaged risk, over‑automation or tool dependency

The result is a more confident project management capability that supports leadership, transparency and predictable delivery — without compromising professional judgment or organizational controls. 

  

Benefits and Learning Outcomes

Participants leave with practical skills they can immediately apply in their day‑to‑day project work — regardless of industry, methodology or tools. 

By the end of the course, participants will be able to: 

  • Use AI to support — not replace — professional judgment in project decisions 

  • Analyze uncertainty, risks and assumptions more effectively using AI

  • Prepare clearer decision‑support artifacts such as estimates, schedules, budget, forecasts, change impact and corrective actions 

  • Translate complex project information into executive‑level insights and recommendations 

  • Apply AI responsibly, understanding where it adds value and where human oversight is essential 

  • Build confidence using AI as a thinking partner rather than a technical system 

Participants also gain reusable prompts, templates and decision‑support techniques that strengthen their role as leaders, advisors and trusted decision facilitators — not just project reporters. 

Who Should Attend

This course is intended for those individuals interested in learning specific techniques and principles associated with project planning and performance tracking: Project Team Members, Project Stakeholders, Team Leads, Project Leaders, Project Managers, Business Managers and PMP® (Certified Project Management Professionals) who need to take training/education seminars for re-certification. A basic understanding of project management is useful for this course.
