Common questions
Do I need prior AI knowledge before attending this programme? +
No prior AI knowledge is required. The programme is designed to build AI literacy progressively, starting from how planning practices have evolved before moving into applied AI concepts. A working background in project planning, scheduling, or PMO functions is the expected baseline.
Is this programme suitable for project support roles, not just senior managers? +
Yes. The curriculum is designed for a range of experience levels, from coordination and project support professionals through to project managers and PMO leads. The focus is on developing practical AI literacy rather than assuming a senior decision-making role.
How is the final assessment structured, and is there an exam? +
There is no written exam. Assessment takes the form of a final integrated case challenge completed during the programme, in which participants apply AI-assisted scheduling and risk mitigation concepts to a realistic project scenario. Successful completion leads to a certificate of completion.
Does this certificate align with existing project management credentials such as PMP or PMI-SP? +
This programme is not affiliated with PMI or any other credentialing body, and it awards an iLead certificate of completion rather than a portable credential. Participants who hold or are pursuing PMI credentials may find the AI planning content complementary to their broader project management development, but should not expect formal PDU pre-approval without confirming this directly.
What level of data or technical skill is assumed for participants? +
The programme focuses on interpreting and critically evaluating AI-generated outputs rather than building or configuring AI systems. Participants are expected to understand project data concepts at a practitioner level; specialist data science or programming skills are not required.
How does this programme address the risk of over-relying on AI recommendations? +
Responsible application of AI outputs is a central theme throughout the three days. The curriculum specifically addresses data quality assumptions, model limitations, and the balance between automated outputs and professional judgment, equipping participants to challenge AI-generated recommendations rather than accept them uncritically.
