You get access to templates, examples, tools, and checklists – especially valuable for organizations that want to implement best practice in project management.

This course also gives you knowledge about both project management and how to formulate effective AI prompts. You will find many examples of how to ask questions or give instructions, often referred to as “prompting” or “prompt engineering.”

The course uses the Project School’s AI resource, which is based on ChatGPT and enriched with content from the school’s course library. You will be able to use this AI resource in your own projects after completing the course.
