In "ChatGPT for Project Management: Insight, Planning, & Success," you will learn how to leverage large language models (LLMs) to enhance your project planning and strategy development. This course covers techniques for using LLMs to break down complex projects into manageable tasks, phases, goals, risks, and more. You’ll discover how to utilize AI for organizing project components into timelines, schedules, strategies, dependencies, and Gantt charts to create a cohesive plan.

Explore how prompting can give you instant access to "subject matter expert" insights on any topic, and learn how to control LLM output with the template pattern for precisely formatted plans and project documents. You’ll also master the use of AI to analyze risks, assess alternative approaches, generate metrics and OKRs, and optimize your project plan. By the end of this course, you'll have the skills to integrate LLMs into your project planning process, driving insight, strategy, and success.
