What is the Production-Grade AI Project Portfolio course about?
Innovation teams generate bold AI ideas, but without a rigorous prioritization system, projects stall in pilot purgatory, waste resources, or fail to scale. The lack of a shared framework across engineering, compliance, and leadership leads to misaligned expectations, rework, and missed opportunities.
