Participants will learn how large language models work and identify project tasks where AI-generated output requires human review. They will practice writing and refining prompts to produce useful project artifacts, develop an AI usage policy addressing confidentiality, data handling, disclosure, and accountability, and use AI to create key project management deliverables, including a charter, scope statement, schedule, risk register, and closeout report.

  • Understand what a large language model does and identify the project tasks where its output cannot be trusted without review
  • How to write and iteratively refine prompts that produce usable project artifacts rather than generic text
  • Experience drafting a one-page AI usage policy covering confidentiality, data handling, disclosure, and accountability
  • Master producing a charter, scope statement, schedule, risk register, and closeout report with AI assistance, and critique each for the failure modes AI introduces
  • Build a personal prompt library and a scheduled 30/60/90-day adoption plan
Virtual Instructor-Led Training 2 days / 16 hours
