After taking this course, learners will be able to effectively integrate generative AI tools (Large Language Models, LLMs, like ChatGPT) into their project management workflows to enhance efficiency, communication, and decision-making while maintaining ethical standards and data security.
• Learners will be able to apply practical AI-driven solutions to automate repetitive tasks and enhance daily project management operations. • Learners will be able to use generative AI to improve the accuracy of team communication • Learners will be able to identify and address potential ethical concerns and limitations when implementing AI in project management. This course teaches how to effectively integrate generative AI into project management to automate tasks, enhance communication, and maintain ethical standards. Learners will understand the balance between AI capabilities and human expertise, ensuring responsible and efficient project outcomes.
In this course, we explore how we can effectively utilize GenAI tools to enhance project management. Across five key sessions, we cover the integration of Generative AI for optimizing workflows, using AI as a sounding board for decision-making, targeting information processing, providing constructive feedback, and addressing common challenges in communication and transcription. Each session emphasizes the importance of balancing AI capabilities with our judgment, ensuring that AI can enhance our creativity, efficiency, and ethical decision-making within project management practices. Through practical examples, hands-on exercises, and discussions on ethical considerations, we will gain the skills needed to apply AI-driven solutions in real-world scenarios.

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.
