Managing projects with AI

Planning, risk, reporting, governance

Three days until the sponsor wants to see requirements, risks and stakeholders: learn which parts of that work AI can reliably handle. One case project running through eight modules, plus a closing module on a second case study. Kai reviews every exercise and pushes back.

Who is this course for?

Project Managers

You have three days for a requirements list, a risk assessment and a stakeholder analysis the sponsor wants to see on Monday, and you want to know which part of that AI can reliably take over

PMO and Leaders

Some teams in your department already use AI, with no rules in place. You have to decide which data may go in, who is accountable for the results and how a pilot becomes a standard

Product Owners and Scrum Masters

You maintain the backlog and user stories and want to use AI in refinement and retrospectives without the team following its suggestions blindly

01 — What you learn

  1. 01Use AI all the way through a project, from project charter to retrospective, using the case study that runs through the course
  2. 02Use the four AI Fluency competencies to decide which tasks you delegate to AI and which you keep
  3. 03Build prompts that produce a status report a steering committee can act on, rather than a draft you rewrite
  4. 04Produce a project charter, work breakdown structure and risk register with AI, and check the results against your own judgement
  5. 05Sharpen the product vision, user stories and sprint backlog with AI, and use it as a sparring partner in retrospectives
  6. 06Before automating anything, decide whether an AI agent is worth the effort of set-up, monitoring and upkeep
  7. 07Translate governance under the EU AI Act and ISO 42001 into a checklist for your project
  8. 08Calculate the cost, benefit and payback of an AI initiative, and justify a make, buy or hybrid decision

02 — What you take away

A prompt library for recurring project tasks

A governance checklist for your project under the EU AI Act

An ROI calculation with payback period and a make-or-buy decision

03 — What an exercise looks like

Kai doesn't do the work for you. He checks it.

A genuine excerpt from the course, not a mock-up. You work through a scenario, submit your result to Kai, and get feedback that pushes back where your answer doesn't hold up.

  1. 01 · Starting point

    You are given a deliberately weak prompt: "Write a status report for my project." That is all it says.

  2. 02 · Your task

    Improve it so the result is a status report fit for a steering committee — context, audience, format, scope and a red/amber/green status. You test both versions against each other.

  3. 03 · What Kai checks

    Whether you can name the difference in the output and what caused it — not whether your prompt got longer.

Then you revise your answer on the points he raised. Only after that do you move on.

The full marking rubric is published · How Kai assesses your work

If something is unclear, you ask Kai right in the lesson, without switching windows.

A real assessment, unedited, straight from the course player.

04 — Conversation practice

In this course you practise two difficult conversations.

Co-determination before rollout · 8 turns

Katrin Sander

Chair of the works council, full-time in the role for six years

Preventing performance and behaviour monitoring by the back door. She answers to the workforce for whatever she agrees to. Assurances with nothing in writing. A statement of intent is not an agreement.

Speed versus substance · 4 turns

Michael Brandt

Managing director, sole shareholder, came up through sales

Visible progress he can show externally. His real worry is falling behind. Risk registers. Someone who only warns is part of the problem to him, not the solution.

Try it yourselfTake three turns with one of these roles, or have your own status update checked against five fixed criteria. No account, no sign-up.Open the trial →

Before the conversation you see the role profile and pick the opening situation. Afterwards you get a debrief: what was persuasive, which counter-argument you left unanswered, and one line you could have said instead, written out in full.

Unedited, straight from the course player — recorded in “Choosing your agile approach”, in conversation with the Head of Operations. Your counterparts in this course: Chair of the works council or Managing director.

06 — Frequently asked questions

Why not just take a course on a marketplace?

A fair question. There's no shortage of video courses on this subject, often at a third of the price. Three differences that explain the higher price: Exercises that push back: Kai reads what you've written and follows up wherever the argument is thin. No completion tick for pressing play — a response to your actual work. One trainer, not a catalogue: These courses come from someone who also teaches this material in the classroom. Your questions reach him in the course community, not a forum with ten thousand other learners. Written for European projects: Examples from European projects and governance under EU law rather than US rules — none of it adapted from a US course.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You don't need programming skills or any prior experience with AI. The case material is included: one case study that runs through all eight modules, and a second case study at the end. Project experience helps you put what you learn in context, but it is not a requirement.

Which AI tools are used?

The course works with Claude and demonstrates the approach live. Kai, the learning assistant, is embedded directly in the lessons, so you try the prompts straight away. The principles transfer to other assistants.

What language is the course in?

Entirely in English — videos, readings, exercises and handouts. The German version is a separate course.

What is Kai?

Kai is the AI learning assistant built into every course. He checks your exercises against a rubric set in advance and tells you where your answer doesn't hold up. He answers questions right in the lessons and, in conversation practice, takes on a project role so you can rehearse the difficult conversation. The one place he deliberately stays out of is the final quiz.

Do I receive a certificate after the course?

Yes. Once you have completed all lessons and given the course an overall rating (1 to 5 stars) in the feedback lesson, you automatically receive a personalised certificate of completion. You can download it as a PDF from your account.

How long do I have access to the course?

Access doesn't expire — you keep it for as long as the course stays on the platform. Updates are included.

Can I get a refund?

Access is unlocked immediately after payment. That ends the statutory right of withdrawal — you confirm this explicitly at checkout (§ 356 (5) German Civil Code). Instead, I make you a voluntary promise: if the course is not right for you, write to info@agile-forge.com within 14 days of your purchase, tell me why, and you get your money back. Your note helps me improve the course; it is not a condition of the refund.

Is VAT shown separately?

No. I fall under the German small-business rule (§ 19 UStG): the price shown is the final price. You receive an invoice, but you cannot reclaim input VAT from it.

Can I use the course on my smartphone?

Yes. Praxis runs as a web app on any device. You can also add it to your phone's home screen, where it works like an app without going through an app store.
