Plan, Optimize, and Launch AI Projects is an intermediate course for project managers, team leads, and hands-on AI practitioners who want to ship real work, not just talk about it. AI projects rarely fail because a model breaks. They fail because plans are unclear, people are overloaded, and dates do not line up. This course builds three practical skills you can use next week: read and rebalance capacity with a simple heat map, test feasibility against budget, data, and compliance, and use hybrid planning to connect Agile sprints to milestone dates. You will learn through short videos, a focused reading set, one hands-on lab, a coach-guided reflection, and practice quizzes. You will create a heat map, run a baseline review with a change log, and practice mapping sprint work to a milestone so leaders and teams see the same plan. By the end, you will be able to design and adapt plans that keep AI initiatives moving, with clear ownership, visible risks, and credible delivery dates.
