What you'll learn

Build a reusable Project Context Pack so AI outputs stay consistent and actionable.
Create a 6-week project plan with milestones, exit criteria, and key dependencies.
Turn a plan into a roadmap with Option A/B trade-offs and an executive narrative.
Write PRD-style requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria (including edge cases).
Convert requirements into Jira-ready tickets (epics, stories, AC, and hygiene checks).
Create a Top-10 risk register with triggers, owners, mitigation, and weekly updates.
Generate stakeholder emails, status reports, and decision/action logs with the right tone.
Apply a repeatable “one-prompt” workflow: capture → clarify → plan → execute → communicate → learn.

Stakeholder Emails3:58
Status Reports4:01
Status Report to an Executive: Metrics, Risks, Decisions (2-Min Update)
Handling Conflicts (slides only)4:17
Meeting Notes → Decisions → Actions2:55
In this lesson, you’ll learn a simple PM workflow to turn messy meeting notes into clear decisions and accountable actions.

You will be able to:
- Extract decisions, action items, and open questions from raw notes
- Record decisions in a Decision Log (owner + date + rationale)
- Create an action list with owners, due dates, and success criteria

Exercise:
Take one real meeting note and produce:
1) Decision Log entry (at least 1 decision)
2) Action List (at least 5 actions)
3) A short team update message (Slack/Teams format)

Important:
Do not paste sensitive information into AI tools. Use placeholders (Client A, Vendor B, etc.).

Capstone Setup: Context Pack + Goals1:25
In this capstone setup lesson, you’ll build the foundation for the Fintech Onboarding Improvement case.

You will create:
- A 1-page Project Context Pack
- A success metrics table (baseline = TBD + targets)
- A list of key decision points (owners + needed-by)

Exercise:
Use the templates in Resources to produce:
1) Context Pack (v1)
2) Metrics table
3) Decision points list

Note:
Do not paste sensitive information into AI tools. Use placeholders (Client A, Vendor B, Person X).
Plan → Roadmap2:47
In this capstone lesson, you’ll turn your Context Pack into an execution-ready plan and a stakeholder-ready roadmap.
You will produce:
- A 6-week milestone plan (with exit criteria + dependencies)
- Roadmap Option A vs Option B (with trade-offs)
- A short executive recommendation narrative + decision points
Exercise:
Using the templates in Resources, create:
1) Milestone plan (Weeks 1–6) + dependencies table
2) Roadmap Option A and Option B
3) Trade-offs + recommendation + key decisions needed
Note:
Do not paste sensitive information into AI tools. Use placeholders (Client A, Vendor B, Person X).
Requirements → Jira Tickets1:08
In this capstone lesson, you’ll turn requirements into execution-ready Jira work items.
You will produce:
- 1 Epic
- 5 Jira-ready tickets (each with clear Acceptance Criteria)
Exercise:
Using the Prompt Pack and templates in Resources:
1) Take a PRD excerpt (or your capstone requirements)
2) Generate user stories + acceptance criteria
3) Convert them into 1 Epic + 5 Jira-ready tickets
4) Run a ticket quality check and fix any gaps
Note:
Do not paste sensitive information into AI tools. Use placeholders (Client A, Vendor B, Person X).
Risks + Status Report3:32
In this capstone lesson, you’ll finalize the project by producing two critical outputs: a Top 10 Risk Register and a stakeholder-ready Status Report (Exec + Team versions).
You will produce:
- Top 10 risks (with mitigation, triggers, and owners)
- Executive status update (high-level, decision-oriented)
- Team status update (actionable, delivery-focused)
- A quick consistency check across plan, tickets, risks, and status
Exercise:
Using the templates and Prompt Pack in Resources:
1) Generate the Top 10 Risk Register
2) Create an Exec status update + a Team status update
3) Run a consistency check and fix any gaps
Note:
Do not paste sensitive information into AI tools. Use placeholders (Client A, Vendor B, Person X).

Requirements

No AI or programming experience required — we start from the basics and build up.
Basic familiarity with project work (PM, PO, BA, tech lead, or team lead) is helpful.
A laptop/desktop with internet access.
Access to an AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) — free tiers work for most exercises.
Optional: Google Docs/Sheets (or Excel/Word) to use the provided templates.
Please use placeholders — don’t paste confidential data, customer info, credentials, or proprietary details.

Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Project management today is a game of clarity under uncertainty — and that’s exactly where AI can help. In this course, you’ll learn a practical, repeatable workflow for using AI to plan faster, write clearer requirements, manage risk, and communicate with stakeholders without sounding generic or “AI-generated”.

This is not a theory course. Every module ends with real deliverables you can reuse at work: a Project Context Pack, a 6-week milestone plan with exit criteria and dependencies, roadmap Option A/B trade-offs with an executive narrative, PRD-style requirements, user stories with acceptance criteria, Jira-ready tickets, and a Top-10 risk register with owners, triggers, and a 15-minute weekly update routine.

You’ll also learn responsible AI usage: how to separate facts from assumptions, how to verify outputs, and how to protect sensitive information using placeholders and safe workflows.

To make everything easy to apply, the course includes downloadable templates, checklists, and prompt packs. You’ll practice on a consistent Capstone case (a fintech onboarding improvement) so the skills stick — and you’ll be able to transfer the same workflow to your real projects immediately.

If you want less chaos, faster delivery, and clearer communication — this course is built for you.

Who this course is for:

Project Managers and Product Managers who want to plan faster and communicate more clearly using AI.
PMs/TPMs who are juggling multiple stakeholders and need a repeatable workflow to reduce chaos and stress.
Team leads, analysts, and aspiring PMs who want practical templates for plans, roadmaps, requirements, risks, and status updates.
PMs working in software, fintech, or regulated environments who need responsible AI usage (verification + data safety).
Anyone who wants “execution-ready” deliverables — not theory — and a reusable prompt + template library.
