Course Overview

Project management involves coordinating information across emails, meetings, plans, actions, and stakeholders—often at pace. This session demonstrates how Microsoft 365 Copilot supports Project Managers by reducing administrative effort and improving clarity across everyday project activities.

Using realistic project scenarios, you’ll see how Copilot helps summarise long email threads, turn meetings into structured actions, generate project trackers, and draft clear status updates grounded in existing project information. The focus is on speeding up structure and reporting so you can concentrate on delivery.

By the end of the session, you’ll understand how to use Copilot as a practical assistant for keeping projects visible, aligned, and moving forward with less manual rework.
