The field of project management is developing at a fast pace with high market demands for optimal planning and control. Many organizations are adopting computerized tools and methods, including AI, which enable accurate management and optimization of resources. The international standardization in the field, such as PMBOK, provides a structured framework for project management, and helps support managers with tools for informed decisions and higher efficiency. The program is aimed at imparting tools and learning how to use them in management contexts, with an emphasis on integrating modern technologies to optimize processes and generate insights in real time.
As part of the course, the students will be required to write an initiation document for the project, which will be submitted personally, using AI capabilities for definitions, planning, forecasting and control. In the second part of the course, project teams will be assigned to carry out project characterization, based on the initiation documents they will receive. The teams will be required to write a characterization document, present it in class and give a peer evaluation to the presentation of other groups, based on defined criteria.
The course focuses on knowing basic concepts from the world of project management, while learning methods for managing, monitoring and controlling projects. In addition, it demonstrates advanced approaches and techniques, including AI integration, that help project managers succeed and implement advanced processes.
