Curriculum
A concise view of the complete course.
Delivery methodology
Why every conventional methodology needs adaptation for AI, how to choose between Scrum, Kanban, Lean, PRINCE2, Waterfall and hybrid approaches, and how retrospectives and research timeboxing keep an iterative team honest.
Project governance, stage gates and change control
What makes a stage gate a control rather than a checkpoint, how to recognise a governance bypass from the documentation alone, how to design gates that hold under date pressure, and how change control fits within project governance.
Cross-functional collaboration and shared ownership
What genuine shared ownership looks like in performance objectives rather than in meeting attendance, how to align technical and business success metrics, and how to recognise collaboration that produces nothing.
AI-specific delivery practice
The delivery practices specific to AI: treating prompts and configuration as functional changes under version control, defining pilot exit criteria before a pilot starts, and handling production changes as releases so degradation is attributable and reversible.
Integration with enterprise portfolio and IT governance
Why AI projects must sit inside standard portfolio governance rather than beside it, what comparability of investment makes possible, and the small number of AI-specific additions standard governance does not already cover.
