Before you sign up

Suits project managers who want a quick, free overview of where generative AI fits in project work, with ChatGPT techniques and an AI tool library. It's free for members and non-members alike. The main caveat is that PMI lists it as 1 hour yet awards 5 PDUs, so check what you'll be credited, and you need a PMI account. A free next step is Practical Application of Generative AI for Project Managers, five hours of hands-on PMI e-learning.
