Project Management Institute (PMI)
Generative AI Overview for Project Managers is a free beginner course from PMI, online. It takes about 1 hour and ends with a free CPD certificate.
Project managers after a quick, free overview of where generative AI fits in project work, with ChatGPT techniques and an AI tool library, will find it here. It's free for members and non-members alike. The caveats: PMI lists it as 1 hour yet awards 5 PDUs, so check what you'll be credited, and you need a PMI account. For a longer course, see Generative AI for Project Managers from IBM on Coursera.
Five-module e-learning on the difference between AI and generative AI, practical GenAI uses in project work, ChatGPT techniques and an AI tool library for project managers.
