Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing both how we manage projects and the kinds of projects we are being asked to lead. But where should a Project Professional start and what does PMI offer to help? In this webinar, we’ll take a practical tour through PMI’s growing AI ecosystem, including AI learning resources, PMI Infinity™, AI-focused standards and guidance, and resources for applying AI in everyday project work. We’ll then look at the PMI Certified Professional in Managing AI (PMI-CPMAI)™ pathway and explore how the CPMAI methodology provides a structured, technology-agnostic approach for turning AI ideas into successful, responsible and measurable initiatives. Whether you are experimenting with GenAI in your daily work, preparing to lead your first AI initiative, or considering PMI-CPMAI certification, this session will help you understand what is available and identify your next step in becoming an AI-enabled Project Professional.
