Operationalise and manage data projects with MLOps
An AI model only delivers lasting value when its operation is well managed. With MLOps, connect deployment, monitoring and maintenance to organise the transition to production. Strengthen your ability to coordinate data and operations teams around models monitored over time.

Presentation
Moving from experimentation to production remains a major challenge for artificial intelligence projects. Many initiatives fail because production processes are insufficiently robust and teams do not collaborate smoothly. This 2-day course provides the methodological and technical foundations of MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) to make the entire model lifecycle reliable, from design to operational maintenance.
The programme covers the whole value chain: structure automated data pipelines, implement continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), and ensure production model quality. Beyond technology, it emphasises data governance and the alignment required between Data Scientists, DevOps teams and business stakeholders for project success.
Through immersive practical workshops, you will use industry-standard tools and simulate real deployment and management situations. You will leave with a clear view of how to establish an agile approach suited to data, anticipate performance drift and ensure your AI solutions' ethical and regulatory compliance.
Objectives
By the end of this MLOps course, you will be able to:
- define MLOps strategic and operational challenges within the AI project lifecycle;
- structure key data project stages, from initial exploration to production monitoring;
- orchestrate effective agile collaboration between data, IT and business professionals;
- deploy robust MLOps architectures incorporating versioning and CI/CD automation;
- manage governance, ethics and model performance risks over time.
Program
Module 1: understand MLOps fundamentals and project framing
- Defining key concepts and distinguishing DevOps and MLOps approaches.
- Analysing the specific challenges of operationalising AI projects.
- Identifying business needs and defining success indicators (KPIs).
