What you'll learn

Many project managers know generative AI could make their work easier but aren't sure where it actually helps versus where it falls short. In this course, Generative AI for Project Managers, you'll gain the ability to apply AI tools across the full project lifecycle while keeping the judgment calls where they belong: with you. First, you'll explore how AI can accelerate project planning and setup, from generating charters and work breakdown structures to drafting schedules, risk lists, and kickoff materials. Next, you'll discover how to streamline project communication and stakeholder management, using AI to summarize meetings, draft status reports, and tailor messaging to different audiences. Finally, you'll learn how to apply AI to project monitoring, problem-solving, and decision support, including surfacing schedule conflicts and resource bottlenecks, assessing risks and change requests, and generating lessons-learned and closeout documentation. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge to use AI as a practical assistant throughout a project's lifecycle, while understanding where its limits are and why the project leader's judgment still matters most.
