Module 12 – Project Planning with AI

Overview

AI can help you go from a rough idea to a structured plan. In this module, you’ll learn how to break work into phases, identify risks, and define milestones.

What you’ll learn

How to break a project into phases and workstreams.
How to estimate effort and identify dependencies.
How to create milestones that teams can rally around.

1. Turn a goal into phases

You are my project planner. I will give you a project goal.

Please create:
- 4–6 phases
- Key deliverables per phase
- Dependencies or blockers

Goal: [PASTE GOAL]

2. Estimate effort

Use AI to propose rough effort ranges, then sanity-check with team input.

3. Define milestones

A milestone should have a clear deliverable and a clear owner.

Today’s action

Draft a phase-based plan for a current initiative.
Validate dependencies with your team.
Publish a milestone timeline with owners and dates.
