What is the Pragmatic AI Project Portfolio Prioritization course about?
Without a formal prioritization model, AI project evaluation becomes reactive and inconsistent. Audit teams struggle to provide clear guidance, leading to rework, control gaps, and delayed oversight. Leaders default to intuition, increasing compliance risk and misallocating resources.
