Project Managers are routinely being asked to step outside of their comfort zones and manage teams and projects on Emerging Technologies that they may not be familiar with. While PMs may not necessarily need a deep dive into the advanced aspects of technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and IoT, it can be extremely helpful to understand the specific terms associated with each of these disciplines. In The Language of Emerging Technologies for Project Managers, PMs will become familiar with common industry terms inside the disciplines of AI, DS, and IoT. Additionally, they will learn how to appropriately scope out projects in these disciplines, as well as understand how to plan for a variety of factors within their control, such as time, costs, and risks commonly associated with AI, DS, and IoT.

In this class, you will:

• Learn the basics of emerging technologies and why they are so important.
• Learn useful industry terms to help you better communicate with the teams you are managing.
• Understand how to properly scope AI, DS, and IoT projects.
• Learn to plan for Time, Costs, and Risks typically associated in AI, DS, and IoT projects.
• Understand additional resources and training available to you and your teams around AI, DS, and IoT.

Target Student:

This course is intended for anyone with project management training, credential, or experience who expects to be involved in the management of AI, DS, and/or IoT projects.

Prerequisites:

We highly recommend an individual have PM experience, hold a PM certification, or have taken PM training beginning with Project Management Fundamentals.
