AI Literacy for Project Managers

Managing AI projects without understanding AI can create uncertainty, misalignment, and risk.Today, AI is becoming part of everyday business initiatives, and project managers are increasingly expected to lead AI-driven projects. However, many PMs find themselves managing AI initiatives without fully understanding AI terminology, data dependencies, risks, limitations, or how AI projects differ from traditional software projects. This often leads to unrealistic plans, misaligned stakeholder expectations, communication challenges with AI teams, and unnecessary stress.The role of a project manager is evolving.

AI is entering projects faster than most PMs are prepared for, and managing AI projects using traditional approaches alone is no longer enough. AI literacy is becoming a career skill—not a technical nice-to-have.This course, AI Literacy for Project Managers, is designed specifically for project managers who are leading—or preparing to lead—AI-driven initiatives.
