Name: The AI-Ready Project Manager
Availability: InStock

Workshop Overview

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how projects are planned, executed, and delivered. Project managers who can use AI tools well have a true advantage, freeing up time to focus on the work where they provide the most value: making difficult judgment calls, assessing risk, and navigating challenging conversations.

This three-hour, hands-on online Workshop focuses on the practice of project management. Through live demonstrations and guided exercises, participants will apply AI to real project management work: drafting charters and communication plans, automating reports, identifying and analyzing risks, summarizing meeting notes and status reports, and sharpening stakeholder communications. Along the way, we'll examine the fundamentals of effective prompting, strategies for critically evaluating AI output, and the ethical and data privacy questions every PM should settle before bringing AI into their workflow. Participants leave with a personal toolkit of prompts and techniques they can put to work the next day.

Key Workshop Takeaways

Understand the current state of AI and identify where it can have the greatest impact across the stages of a project.
Create core project artifacts with AI assistance, including project charters, stakeholder communications, slippage detection, and status reports.
Move beyond artifacts and use AI for actual management, not just generating project artifacts.
Understand AI failure modes and where issues like accuracy, completeness, and bias can arise to avoid incorporating them into project deliverables.
Apply ethical and data privacy guidelines when using AI with project information, including recognizing what should and shouldn't be shared with AI tools.
Develop a personal action plan for integrating AI into a project management workflow, starting with current projects.

“I realized AI is so much bigger than generating answers or summaries. Seeing how workflows, approvals, automation, reporting, and operational processes can all connect together completely shifted my perspective. The hands-on experience with Claude Code CLI genuinely expanded how I think about the future of business operations and AI-assisted systems. This workshop stretched my thinking in the best way possible and reminded me how important it is to stay proactive, adaptable, and open to learning as technology continues evolving.”

“I really enjoyed the three-hour workshop. It was definitely worth my time! It challenged my thinking and gave me some fresh insights. The way the session balanced inspiration with practical advice was impressive. They used memorable frameworks and clear process flows, and introduced concepts like the ‘80% rule,’ which made AI feel accessible rather than just an abstract idea. I walked away feeling energized and motivated to try out what I learned, and I’ve already started applying those ideas to my work. The combination of solid content and great facilitation really made a difference.”
