Presentation
Traditional project management is evolving: growing complexity and demands for speed are making artificial intelligence a gateway to the augmented project manager. This 4-day course helps you move beyond conventional management to integrate tools that analyse, predict and automate.
The programme centres on direct experimentation. Beyond theoretical concepts, you will use practical solutions to generate deliverables such as WBS and project charters, anticipate schedule slippage and support decisions. You will discover how AI can become a daily copilot, managing data so that you can focus on people and strategy.
By the end of the course, you will be able to deploy these technologies in your own projects. Through a complete project simulation, you will validate a proven methodology for integrating AI throughout the project lifecycle, from initiation to closure.
Objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- understand AI fundamentals and types, including supervised and generative AI;
- use AI to produce project deliverables, including charters, WBS and communication plans;
- optimise planning and risk management through predictive analysis;
- automate reporting and repetitive administrative tasks;
- manage a complete AI-augmented project while addressing ethical considerations.
Program
Module 1: Understanding AI and its implications
- Defining artificial intelligence and its historical development.
- Exploring supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning.
- Discovering no-code tools that make AI accessible to non-technical users.
Hands-on exercises
- Create simple AI models using a drag-and-drop platform such as Google Teachable Machine.
Module 2: Integrating AI into the project lifecycle
- Overview of AI's impact on roles and the new skills required.
- Using generative assistants such as ChatGPT and Copilot during project scoping.
- Automated production of foundational documents: charter, WBS and communication plan.
Hands-on exercises
- Write a complete project charter and structure a WBS from a given context using AI.
Module 3: Optimising project control with an AI copilot
- Support for advanced planning and intelligent resource allocation.
- Early detection of risks and delays, and cost forecasting.
- Integrating AI into collaborative tools such as Teams, Slack and Notion AI for task tracking.
Hands-on exercises
- Configure an automation process for reporting and meeting minutes.
Module 4: Simulating an augmented project
- Managing a complete simulated project with AI-enhanced stages.
- Critically analysing results and preparing an AI-assisted steering committee meeting.
- Ethical challenges, data protection and potential biases to monitor.
Case study
- Complete an end-to-end project simulation, from launch to steering committee presentation.
