Claude AI in Project Planning Scheduling & Cost Controlling

What you'll learn

• Write engineering-grade prompts that get usable, correctly-structured controls output first time
• Give Claude data properly, iterate on weak answers, and build a reusable prompt library
• Draft and stress-test scope, WBS and estimates — and produce a defensible basis-of-estimate
• Use advanced AI methods including chain prompting, role stacking, and iterative refinement
• Turn scope into activities, interrogate schedule logic and float, and write clear schedule narratives
• Model budgets, cash flow and S-curves; build risk registers; and frame qualitative and quantitative risk
• Run full Earned Value analysis (CV, SV, CPI, SPI), forecast EAC/ETC/TCPI, and write honest dashboard commentary
• Produce faster status reports, executive summaries, emails, minutes, and contract/change correspondence
• Review and interrogate long documents and contracts, and capture lessons-learned at close-out
• Run an end-to-end controls cycle on a real project with Claude as your assistant — scope through close-out

Requirements

• No AI or prompt engineering experience required
• Basic understanding of project management concepts is helpful but not mandatory
