Training process

Training needs analysis

If you have specific requirements regarding the training programme, we will carry out a training needs analysis for you. This will guide us on which aspects of the programme should receive greater emphasis, so that the training programme meets your specific needs.

What will you gain?

icon

Stronger project planning - You will learn how to use GenAI to refine project goals, scope, and WBS structure, so you can build a more consistent project plan faster and spot gaps much earlier.

icon

Better risk assessment - You will see how AI can help you identify risks, dependencies, and alternative scenarios, allowing you to react to threats earlier and make more informed project decisions.

icon

Faster project documentation - You will practice creating a Project Charter, communication plans, risk registers, and lessons learned, helping you reduce documentation effort without lowering quality.

icon

Smarter use of project knowledge - You will learn how to organize project materials, find critical information quickly, and answer questions based on documents, making scattered project knowledge easier to use.

icon

Less admin work - You will discover how to automate task updates, checklists, and meeting summaries, so you can free up time for leading the team and keeping delivery on track.

icon

More effective backlog management - You will explore how AI can help you structure a backlog, group tasks, detect blockers, and assess team workload, so you can prioritize work with greater confidence.

icon

Clearer project communication - You will learn how to create messages, status updates, and summaries tailored to different audiences, helping you report progress clearly and support international teamwork.

icon

Sharper reports and presentations - You will practice preparing management reports, decision-making materials, and status presentations, so you can communicate key project insights clearly and persuasively.

Training programme

1. Introduction to AI in Project Management

The opening section places AI within the day-to-day responsibilities of a Project Manager and across the project lifecycle. It also examines where business value is highest, alongside the main limitations and risks that need to be understood before applying AI in project work.

  • the role of AI in the work of a Project Manager,
  • the place of AI in the project life cycle,
  • areas of the greatest business value,
  • limitations and risks of using AI.

2. AI in project planning

Effective planning starts with sharpening the project objective and defining scope boundaries. This module uses AI to structure WBS, identify dependencies and milestones, estimate time, cost, and resources, assess project risks, and compare alternative what-if scenarios before execution begins.

  • defining the project objective,
  • clarifying the project scope,
  • creating the WBS structure,
  • identifying dependencies and milestones,
  • estimating time, costs and resources,
  • analysis of project risks,
  • alternative scenarios and „what-if”.

3. AI in project documentation

From Project Charter to lessons learned, AI can support the preparation of core project documents. Participants work on scope and assumptions, schedules, risk and issue registers, communication plans, and change management plans, with emphasis on producing coherent documentation across the project lifecycle.

  • Project Charter,
  • description of the project scope and assumptions,
  • project schedule,
  • risk and issue register,
  • communication plan,
  • change management plan,
  • lessons learned.

4. AI in project knowledge management

Project knowledge is often scattered across files, notes, and decisions made over time. The section shows how AI can organize documentation, retrieve information from project materials, answer questions based on documents, analyze decisions and changes, and support creation of a reusable knowledge repository.

  • organizing project documentation,
  • searching for information in project materials,
  • answering questions based on documents,
  • analysis of decisions and project changes,
  • building a project knowledge repository.

5. Automation of the daily work of a Project Manager

Reducing administrative effort is one of the most direct AI use cases for a Project Manager. This section concentrates on preparing and updating tasks, prioritizing activities, producing meeting summaries, and generating checklists so daily coordination work becomes more systematic and less time-consuming.

  • preparation and updating of tasks,
  • prioritization of activities,
  • meeting summaries,
  • preparation of checklists,
  • reduction of administrative work.

6. AI in task and backlog management

Managing backlog and tasks becomes easier when AI helps reveal structure in complex workstreams. The module addresses backlog analysis and organization, grouping tasks by work areas, identifying blockers and dependencies, suggesting priorities, and assessing team workload to support execution decisions.

  • analysis and organizing of the backlog,
  • grouping of tasks and work areas,
  • identification of blockers and dependencies,
  • priority suggestions,
  • analysis of team workload.

7. AI in team collaboration and visual planning

Team collaboration benefits from AI when ideas, plans, and relationships need to be made visible. Here the focus is on AI-assisted brainstorming, process and project mapping, schedule visualization, stakeholder analysis, and collaborative definition of the work scope in shared planning sessions.

  • AI-supported brainstorming,
  • project and process mapping,
  • schedule visualization,
  • stakeholder analysis,
  • joint planning of the scope of work.

8. AI in project communication

Creating project communication with AI involves more than drafting messages faster. The section covers status updates, tailoring content to different audiences, supporting international communication, and organizing information flow so stakeholders receive relevant, consistent, and usable project information.

  • creating project communications,
  • preparing project statuses,
  • adapting communication to audiences,
  • supporting international communication,
  • managing information in the project.

9. AI in project reporting

When project data grows, the challenge is turning it into concise management insight. Participants work with AI methods for progress analysis, detecting deviations and risks, preparing management summaries, and shaping reports for the board and PMO with clear interpretation of project indicators.

  • analysis of project progress,
  • identification of deviations and risks,
  • creation of management summaries,
  • reports for the management board and PMO,
  • interpretation of project data.

10. AI in preparing project presentations

Clear project presentations require both structure and narrative. This part shows how AI can support status decks, materials for decision-making meetings, and final project summaries, while strengthening project storytelling so that key messages are matched to the context and purpose of each presentation.

  • structure of a project presentation,
  • status presentations,
  • materials for decision-making meetings,
  • project summary presentations,
  • project storytelling.

11. Standardization of the Project Manager's work with AI

AI-supported work models help Project Managers standardize how recurring activities are handled across the project. The section focuses on consistency in documentation and communication, repeatable operating patterns, end-to-end scenarios, and practical rules for using AI reliably in project environments.

  • PM's work models with AI,
  • consistency of documentation and communication,
  • repeatable action patterns,
  • example end-to-end scenarios,
  • best practices for using AI in projects.
