You'll review the role of the project manager and how generative AI can help complete tasks. You'll also be encouraged to access a generative AI tool and practice with exercises and learn about how generative AI can present security and ethical issues within project management—and what project managers will need to think about as Generative AI continues to move into the future.

There are 2 modules in this course
This course comprises two modules. These are designed to be completed over two weeks but the course is asynchronous so this is just a guideline. Once we have considered the overall impact that Artificial Intelligence is having, and is likely to continue having, on our everyday lives we will be focussing specifically in the part that Generative AI might play in the field of project management. In this module, we will investigate the role of the project manager and look at the ways that generative AI can aid PMs in the completion of their tasks. We will also consider the wider issue of the overall impact that generative AI will have on project management. If you haven't already done so we will also be encouraging you to begin working with an AI tool of your choice.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
