AI in project management

Practical Case Studies with AI for Project Managers

Over the two days, you'll build up an AI-supported project management workflow through a real case, while learning how to work with specialised AI agents and how to validate AI-generated outputs.

What is the AI in project management training about?

Project leadership is about coordination and direction, but also about documentation, estimation, reporting and communication. Effective, market-ready project leadership now requires the application of AI. At the same time, there's a risk that AI gives a confident, well-formatted answer precisely where the project manager is personally accountable for the outcome: for example, in estimation, risk analysis, impact analysis and management reporting.

Where is the line where AI can provide genuine quality support, and what tasks should the project manager still handle themselves?

The aim of our AI training for the project manager role is to give you tested, hands-on experience with exactly this. Over the two days, you'll work through a realistic case study, from project initiation through scope and schedule planning, risk management, control and change management, all the way to closure. Every practical block runs on your own device, with your own AI account.

We will show you:

  • at which points in the project management process AI genuinely speeds things up,
  • where it can produce misleading results and how to handle this,
  • how a complex project task can be broken down among focused-role AI agents,
  • where a generalist approach works best and where a role-specific agent approach is preferable,
  • how agents can be chained, or even looped, while keeping the necessary human control in place,
  • and how all this fits into the organisation's PM/PMO governance framework, including data handling considerations.

Our experts

Prerequisites, frameworks, target audience

The programme is an intensive, practical course, with over 80% of the time devoted to hands-on task work. 

We recommend our training primarily to professionals with at least 1 year of project management experience who lead plan-driven (traditional, hybrid) projects, who want to make their day-to-day work more efficient with AI tools, prepare for the role changes that follow AI adoption, and understand how the agentic approach can be applied within PM/PMO governance frameworks.

Prerequisites for participation:

  • Basic knowledge of project methodology or equivalent professional experience, as the programme does not re-teach methodological fundamentals but focuses on the practical application of AI;
  • your own registered account with one of the AI tools (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini), as you'll be working with it throughout the training. Participation is not possible in guest mode (without logging in). A free account is also sufficient, but bear in mind that the message limits of free plans may run out during two days of intensive use, so a paid plan is recommended;
  • your own laptop, on which the chosen AI tool is accessible via a browser.

The programme can also be delivered as an on-site (in-house) training, in which case we work through a sample project proposed by the client.

Frequently asked questions:

Primarily for project managers with at least 1 year of experience leading plan-based or hybrid projects, and for PMO staff, who want to make their daily work more efficient with AI tools, want to prepare for the role transformation following the introduction of AI, and would like to understand how the agentic approach can be integrated into PM governance frameworks.

Over the two days, you will work through a realistic case study, simulating the full project lifecycle. You will learn how AI can be applied throughout PM processes, how a complex PM task can be broken down among AI agents with focused roles, how the results of a generalised and a role-based approach can be compared, and how individual agents can be chained or looped together, while you designate the human control points.

No. The programme does not re-teach the fundamentals of methodological project management or AI, but rather focuses on practical application through a complete process and real-world case study. The training demonstrates how and for what AI can be used in PM processes, where weaker results can be expected from AI, and where enhanced human control is needed.

Three things are necessary: basic knowledge of project methodology or similar professional experience, your own registered account for an AI tool (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini), and your own laptop on which the chosen AI tool is accessible via a browser. Participation is not possible as a guest or in incognito mode.

A free account is also suitable, but it's worth knowing that the message limits on free tiers may be used up during the two days of intensive use, so we recommend a paid plan.

The programme is an intensive, two-day course (9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.), with over 80% of the time devoted to hands-on task work. You work through every practical block on your own device, using your own AI account.

It runs in a classroom format (1118 Budapest, Kelenhegyi út 29/b.) or online (via MS Teams). It can also be delivered as an in-house course, in which case we work through a sample project suggested by the client.

We offer a satisfaction guarantee: if you let us know during the first training block that you're not satisfied, you won't need to pay. We invoice the fee after the course, we ask for nothing upfront.

Open courses run in Hungarian with 4 to 12 participants. For in-house, group training, the numbers and schedule can be arranged separately by agreement.
