Project Management Institute (PMI)
Talking to AI: Prompt Engineering for Project Managers is a free beginner course from PMI, online. It takes about 1 hour and ends with a free CPD certificate.
A free, practical starting point for project managers who want to write better prompts. The extras stand out: 14 use-case videos from project managers, an 85-page workbook and 3 PDUs. You'll need a PMI account, and PMI's own estimate of 1 hour sits oddly beside the 3 PDUs, so budget more time. Once you're comfortable, move on to Practical Application of Generative AI for Project Managers, also free from PMI.
Self-paced PMI e-learning on prompting large language models such as ChatGPT. Five modules cover prompt design, refinement, prompt chaining and building expertise, plus 14 use-case videos from project managers, an 85-page workbook and a tool library. Earns 3 PDUs.
