Employees of federal, state and local governments; and businesses working with the government.
Prerequisites
Foundational project management knowledge through formal training (such as PMP preparation) or relevant experience, and access to at least one generative AI tool during class (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or Gemini).
Course Description
This immersive, hands-on course prepares experienced project professionals for an AI-empowered future. You will learn what generative AI can and cannot do, how to prompt it well using the COSTAR framework, and where it fits across both predictive and adaptive project lifecycles. Working a single realistic case study in a persistent team, you build a prompt playbook, a prioritized use-case map, planning and lifecycle deliverables, an ethics and governance audit, a team AI adoption roadmap, and a personal development plan, so you leave ready to apply AI with any framework or toolset.
