Frequently asked questions

Still have questions?

How is E²PAI different from E²P?
E²P teaches the integrated delivery model across business analysis, project management, agile, program/change, and leadership. E²PAI applies that same operating model through responsible AI use, prompt patterns, automation, governance, quality control, and an AI-augmented capstone.
Do participants need to be technical?
No. The course is designed for business, delivery, product, and change professionals. It focuses on practical AI use, judgment, governance, communication, and work products rather than coding.
What do participants leave with?
Participants leave with applied prompt patterns, AI-ready analysis and delivery artifacts, governance checklists, a responsible-use approach, capstone feedback, and an E²PAI certification exam voucher.
How many PMI PDUs does this bootcamp provide?
This bootcamp documents 40.0 PMI education PDUs: 22.0 Ways of Working, 10.0 Power Skills, and 8.0 Business Acumen. PDUs can be self-reported to PMI under the Course or Training category.
Can this be delivered privately?
Yes. Private delivery can incorporate your tools, governance expectations, data policies, AI use cases, delivery artifacts, and organizational adoption needs.
