Frequently asked questions
In this course, you’ll gain practical experience using AI (including Gemini) to speed up the early stages of work like going from a vague idea to a structured plan you can execute. You’ll practice brainstorming with AI, evaluating ideas against frameworks, identifying risks and dependencies, and creating an information hub in NotebookLM so your team can stay aligned.
This course is for anyone who wants to move from idea to execution, faster. If you often kick off projects, shape strategy, or manage planning and resourcing, this course is for you! It’s useful for people who want an effective process for brainstorming, prioritizing, and building project roadmaps, as well as anyone who wants a more organized way to manage projects and documentation for themselves or a team.
In this course, you’ll use AI to surface gaps you might miss during planning, like hidden dependencies, timeline bottlenecks, and potential risks. The goal is to use AI to help strengthen your plans before you kick off, or get in the weeds of execution. You’ll leverage AI to proactively identify what could derail the work and where additional clarity is needed.
