AI+ for Project Planning

Scope, Schedule and Deliver Smarter

Tighter scopes. Defensible plans. Status reports drafted in 20 minutes.

You plan projects well enough — but scope creep still happens, schedules still slip, and status reports still take too long. This book gives you a complete AI-assisted planning practice: 30 copy-ready prompts across scope definition, WBS generation, risk registers, and stakeholder communication. Run a risk brainstorm that surfaces what you'd have missed. Draft a tailored executive update in 20 minutes. Built by an AI engineering firm that delivers complex programmes for a living.

Inside
  • 30 ready-made, market-tested prompts: scope definition, requirements briefs, work breakdown, schedules, risk registers, stakeholder communications, status reports
  • An AI-assisted scoping workflow that surfaces requirements before they become scope creep
  • A risk brainstorm discipline that surfaces what you'd have missed — non-obvious, emerging, and structural risks
  • A status report drafting workflow that turns a 90-minute exercise into 20 minutes — tailored to executive, team, and stakeholder audiences
  • A 30-day plan for marketing campaign managers, IT project leads, construction planners, product managers, research coordinators, and event organisers
Who this is for

Any professional responsible for planning a project — from a marketing campaign manager and IT project lead to a construction planner, product manager, research coordinator, or event organiser. Cross-industry by design: the skill, not the profession, is the unit.

Also for:Team leaders, department heads, and business owners who commission, sponsor, or oversee projects but are not day-to-day project managers. They need to understand AI's role in planning to set expectations and govern outputs.

You’ll be able to
  • Use AI to develop comprehensive project scopes, requirements briefs, and constraint analyses across any industry context
  • Apply the AI Opportunity Matrix to classify project planning tasks by AI value and prioritise where to start
  • Build AI-assisted work breakdown structures, schedules, and resource plans using structured prompting
  • Generate and stress-test risk registers, mitigation plans, and contingency options using AI as a thought partner
  • Draft stakeholder communications, status reports, and project documentation using AI prompting templates
