AI can now draft your charter, your risk register and your status report in seconds. This self-paced course teaches you to run the project behind them: choose predictive, agile or hybrid delivery, build a schedule with a critical path, keep a register that drives decisions, read earned value and report the truth early. You use AI to draft and analyse, then check every figure against the source. About 17 hours over 7 weeks.
Bodhih Project Management with AI: Practitioner is a self-paced online certification for people who run projects at work. In about 17 hours you learn to frame, scope, plan, run and control projects with predictive, agile and hybrid methods, using AI to draft and analyse while you check and decide. You practise on one realistic project, calculate critical paths, risk values and earned value in hands-on labs, lead a project through an 8-week crisis simulation, and submit your own project plan pack for review.
Facts on this page last checked by Siddharthan VGJ, Director, Bodhih Training.
Most people who run projects never got the title, or the method. They learned one way (a Gantt chart, or sprints) and now run work that is fixed-date on one side and agile on the other. Nobody showed them how to run both on the same project, or how to explain why the date moved.
Estimates without ranges, a critical path nobody recalculated and a risk list nobody reads all end the same way: the bad news arrives late, and the sponsor stops trusting the report. Notice how different a review feels when the amber arrives early, with options and costs attached.
AI assistants in project tools now draft status reports, summarise meetings and flag risks. They also invent dates, drop dependencies and sound confident about both. You still sign the report, so you need a checking habit and a clear rule about what never goes into an AI tool.
Coordinators, team leads and analysts who run projects without the title. You start from what a project is and finish with a charter, a schedule and a risk register you can defend.
One to six years in, trained in one method. You will combine predictive scheduling with Scrum and Kanban on the same project, and build an AI verification habit your team can copy.
HR, marketing, operations, engineering and public-sector officers. The project-type lens switches examples to your kind of work, from an HR system roll-out to a city water-meter programme.
One course that fits IT, engineering, marketing, HR change, operations and public-sector teams, with company reporting on progress, before-and-after scores and capstone status.
This course is not for you if you want PMP exam cramming, PDUs or contact hours for an exam application, or if you want to build AI systems: it is a practitioner course for running projects at work.

MoSPI flash report, reported by Business Standard, 9 March 2026Imagine walking into Thursday’s steering meeting with a re-forecast you calculated yourself, an honest RAG status and three recovery options with their costs. That is what the course builds: you measure yourself at the start, practise every calculation hands-on, lead a project through a crisis and submit a plan pack that a reviewer grades against a five-criterion rubric.
Choose predictive, agile or hybrid delivery for a project from its traits, and say why, using the Approach Fit score.
Write a charter, a stakeholder map and a scope (a WBS or user stories with acceptance criteria and a definition of done) that a sponsor will sign.
Estimate with three-point and relative sizing, build a dependency network, find the critical path and float, and size a buffer with a reason.
Run Scrum events and a Kanban board with WIP limits, and forecast with velocity ranges, throughput, cycle time and Little’s Law.
Keep a cause-event-effect risk register with owners and triggers, use expected monetary value to choose responses, and route changes through a visible decision.
Map stakeholders by power and interest, plan communication by audience, and handle resistance and conflict openly.
Read earned value (CV, SV, CPI, SPI, EAC, VAC, TCPI) and burn-up charts, forecast with ranges and close with handover and lessons learned.
Use AI to draft plans, risks and status reports, check every figure against the source, and record what you changed before anything goes out.
The pathway runs in order: a baseline check, seven modules of 75 to 90 minutes (each with a hands-on lab or simulation, an "AI as assistant" step and a retrieval check, with boosters two and seven days later), the Project in Crisis simulation, the capstone project plan pack and a final quiz on a parallel form. Every module uses the same fictional project, Veridia Connect: an app built in sprints, a clinic refit on a predictive plan and a staff change programme on a Kanban board.
Measured before you start and again on the same instrument at the end, so the change is recorded rather than claimed.
The baseline check, Form A: 20 scenario, calculation and AI output check questions across the seven modules, about 25 minutes. It is not pass/fail; it sets your baseline for the parallel final.

What comes with the course, and what makes the practice different.
A 40-minute simulation over eight bad weeks: a scope request from the medical director, a vendor developer resigning, a security finding, a kiosk shipment stuck in customs, a sponsor who wants a green report and a go/no-go call. Schedule, Budget, Quality, Team morale and Stakeholder trust react to every decision, and the debrief shows the stronger move at each step.

It is for new and accidental project managers, working PMs moving to hybrid delivery, team leads running change and companies building one project language. You need no project management experience: Module 1 starts from what a project is. Experienced PMs still gain from the hybrid planning, the calculation labs, the crisis simulation and the AI verification habit. It teaches predictive, agile and hybrid delivery, and when each fits.
No. It is a practitioner course for running projects at work. It draws on widely used guides (the PMBOK Guide Eighth Edition’s performance domains and focus areas, the Scrum Guide 2020 and the Kanban Guide), but it is not exam preparation for any PMI, Scrum.org, Scrum Alliance or PeopleCert credential, and it is not endorsed by any of them.
We do not claim that it does. Bodhih is not a PMI Authorized Training Partner, and the course does not issue PDUs. PMI sets its own rules for what counts as project management education. If you plan to apply, keep your own record of the course (your certificate shows the dates and hours) and check PMI’s current requirements before you rely on it.
Any AI assistant your organisation approves (for example Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude), or none. The labs run inside the course, and any spreadsheet will do. The course teaches what to paste, what never to paste and how to check AI output against the source.
The Google certificate is a long, entry-level foundation of about 240 hours with one AI module; PMP bootcamps prepare you for an exam. This course is shorter and practice-led: predictive, agile and hybrid on one project, calculation labs, a crisis simulation, AI with verification in every module and a capstone a reviewer grades. It does not prepare you for an exam.
A 40-minute simulation. You lead the fictional Veridia Connect project through eight bad weeks: a scope request from the medical director, a vendor developer resigning, a security finding, a kiosk shipment stuck in customs, a sponsor who wants a green report and a go/no-go call. Five meters (Schedule, Budget, Quality, Team morale, Stakeholder trust) react to every decision, and a debrief shows the stronger move at each step.
A project plan pack for your own project or one we provide: a charter, a stakeholder map, a WBS or backlog, a schedule with the critical path marked, a risk register, a communication plan, and an AI-assisted status report with verification notes. A reviewer grades it on five criteria and gives feedback, and one resubmission is allowed.
About 17 hours in total, and most people finish in about 7 weeks at two to three hours a week. The course costs $199 for an individual, including every module and lab, the simulation, the capstone review, both assessments, the credential and five complimentary Pro Kits.
You receive the Bodhih Project Management with AI: Practitioner credential, with an Open Badge 2.0 digital badge, a public verify page and a PDF certificate that show what you did and your before and after scores. It is issued when your capstone is accepted and you pass the final quiz. It is a Bodhih credential, not a government or professional-body accreditation.
