AI Project Governance Framework

Overview

The AIPGF is a methodology that empowers project professionals and oversight roles to integrate governance of AI use with existing project methodologies and approaches. It provides structured and scalable AI governance, supporting projects and programmes of varying size, complexity, risk and AI adoption maturity. This certification helps professionals understand the Framework and how it can be used to govern AI in projects and programmes.

As a professional, you'll not only deepen your understanding of AI governance, but how to practically adapt and apply the framework to your organisation and project context.

Why an AI Project Governance Framework Certification is needed

As artificial intelligence transforms how organizations operate, the need for strong governance and ethical oversight has never been greater. The AI Project Governance Framework (AIPGF) Certification equips professionals with the knowledge and structure to manage AI-assisted projects responsibly, effectively, and confidently.

AIPGF bridges the gap between technical AI expertise and project governance, providing a clear framework for aligning AI use with business objectives, compliance requirements, and ethical standards.

Certify your ability to:

Understand the purpose, scope, and key terminology of the AI Project Governance Framework (AIPGF).
Know how AI differs from traditional computing, and its implications for governance of AI use in projects and programmes.
Explain the ethical and legal challenges of using AI in project management, and how to manage these challenges through adoption of the AIPGF.
Understand the difference between ethical, efficient and effective use of AI in projects and programmes, and why it matters.
Explain how to improve AI project governance maturity within a project, programme and across the organisation.
Tailor the AIPGF to organisation context and specific project/programme size, complexity and risk.
Establish the key roles and responsibilities needed for AI governance in a specific project or programme and explain how one person can fulfil more than one role in project management and AI governance.
Manage resistance to AI adoption whilst ensuring governance of AI use in projects and programmes.
Assess your organisation's governance maturity in AI-assisted projects, and identify actions for increasing capability maturity.
