Project Management with Claude AI: Cowork, Skills & Plugins

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. AI tools were used to improve audio/video quality, and demonstrate AI-assisted project management workflows. The course design, case materials, instructional explanations, project management logic, examples, prompts, Skills, and final review were created and supervised by Carlos Martínez, PhD.

Artificial intelligence is no longer just a future promise for project management. Professional frameworks are already discussing it, companies want to adopt it, and many Project Managers know they need to learn how to use it. But there is a major difference between talking about AI in general and actually using it to build real deliverables, support better decisions, and manage projects with more structure and professional judgment.

My name is Carlos Martínez. I hold a PhD in Management from the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, I have written more than 25 teaching cases, including cases available through the Harvard Business Publishing and University of Michigan case libraries, and I have spent more than five years building courses in business, finance, analytics, and project management on Udemy.

I designed this course so you do not simply learn how to chat with Claude. The goal is to help you use Claude as part of a professional project management workflow.

Throughout the course, we follow a complete project case from initiation to closure. You will work with project charters, stakeholder analysis, planning documents, resource and cost baselines, risk registers, vendor evaluations, change control assessments, and closure packages. The objective is not only to generate outputs, but to understand how AI can support structured thinking, better communication, and stronger project governance.

This course also goes beyond a simple chat experience. You will explore the broader Claude ecosystem, including Claude Cowork, Projects, Claude in Excel, Word and PowerPoint, connectors, and reusable Skills. At the end of the course, we take those Skills and package them into our own Project Management plugin, so you can see how an organization could create and share its own AI-powered project management toolkit.

The course includes more than video lessons. You will also receive downloadable files, presentation PDFs, reusable prompts, Skills, Excel workbooks, access to the Q&A forum, and AI-powered roleplays where you can practice professional conversations with sponsors, compliance, finance, operations, and the Project Management Office.

This is not a course where Claude manages the project for you. The real advantage is learning how to direct the tool with structure, context, and professional judgment. You will learn how to use AI to think more clearly, communicate with stakeholders, prepare better deliverables, and work with more confidence across the project lifecycle.

This course was designed for Project Managers, team leaders, consultants, analysts, and professionals who want to move beyond basic AI experimentation and learn how Claude can be integrated into real project management work.
