Presentation
The emergence of cognitive technologies is transforming software design methods. To remain competitive, the Product Owner can no longer overlook the specifics of data: they need to identify sources of value and translate complex technical concepts into concrete business opportunities. This urgent business need requires rapid skills development to stay in control of technological transformation.
This immersive 3-day course equips you to navigate the artificial intelligence ecosystem confidently. Through real use cases in healthcare, finance and retail, alongside practical work, you will learn to engage with data scientists, define relevant acceptance criteria and structure a project lifecycle suited to predictive model uncertainty.
By the end of the programme, you will be able to build a robust product strategy incorporating generative AI or machine learning components. You will have methodological tools to move from idea to deployment while ensuring ethical compliance and sound investment choices.
Objectives
By the end of this AI for Product Owners course, you will be able to:
- Understand fundamental machine learning and deep learning concepts without unnecessary jargon;
- identify data-driven innovation opportunities within existing products;
- frame the complete data project lifecycle, from collection to model deployment;
- define a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) suited to AI constraints;
- streamline communication and collaboration with technical teams and data scientists;
- build an agile product roadmap incorporating performance and ethical considerations.
Program
