If you’re a Director, Head, or VP of Product, Technology, Data, or AI with multiple AI initiatives already in flight, this course helps you
Diagnose Your AI Transformation
Build the ROI model and communicate true costs
Translate to the CFO, CEO, and Board that the work is creating measurable value.
Allocate which bets to scale, fix, stop, or explore
Build the AI-first Operating model: SIGNAL, decision rights, Super-IC leadership
Rebuild the SDLC for Agents: Agent-ready workflow, memory/context, PR/review, mission-based QA, release, observability, stakeholder management
Operate Non-Deterministic Systems: MTB, evals, risk tiers, monitoring, human review, production drift, incident response
This course helps you build the operating and financial system for the AI transformation scaling job. You’ll diagnose where your organization sits on the AI adoption curve, build the business case for your portfolio, model the fully loaded cost of AI, decide what to scale, fix, or stop, and redesign the SDLC for teams working alongside agents.
Why learn from me
3X CPTO; launched numerous AI Transformations and non-deterministic systems. Practical application and direct project feedback from me.
Lead AI initiatives with clear goals, defensible evaluation, explicit risk decisions, and exec updates that drive alignment and investment.
Diagnose where AI is creating leverage, waste, and operating risk
Map your AI maturity, adoption gaps, and bottlenecks across product, engineering, designn, data, and operations
Separate useful automation from local optimizations that create more complexity elsewhere in the system.
Model the fully loaded cost of AI: people, tokens, infra, tooling, data, QA, and production runtime.
Translate AI initiatives into financial outcomes: revenue, capacity, cost reduction, quality, and risk.
Run base, upside, and downside scenarios so leaders can see assumptions, payback, and investment risk.
Score each initiative on business value, evidence, cost, risk, and strategic importance.
Turn a list of pilots into a portfolio with clear funding decisions, owners, and decision gates.
Create criteria for when to scale, redesign, pause, or stop an initiative.
Define decision rights, team shape, management layers, and ownership for AI-enabled product delivery.
Use SIGNAL, Elena's proprietary model, to replace Agile assumptions that break when agents increase speed, volume, and parallel work
Upgrade the team culture and processes for high-leverage ICs, managers, and leaders.
Redesign how work moves from product intent to agent context, coding, review, QA, release, and learning.
Build shared memory and context so agents work from current decisions, constraints, and product strategy.
Add mission-based QA, review gates, observability, and release controls that match higher development throughput.

From Agile to SIGNAL: launching AI products without the chaos
The Hidden Costs of an AI-Transformed Team
A traditional engineer is still constrained largely by their own time. An agentic engineer is not. Their agents can consume model tokens, CI minutes, test environments, code-review agents, cloud sandboxes, and third-party APIs while the engineer starts additional work and spins up additional agents in parallel.
Here is how to think about the distinction
Prompts automate a task
Loops automate repeated work
Systems improve outcomes and adapt as conditions change
“…what about teams who are not building AI products but are heavily using AI to build products? Agile is also not totally working for us anymore. We're doing smaller teams and stepping away from typical scrum ceremonies, and gaps exist in this cycle as well. Would love to hear thoughts!”
Five traits leaders need to thrive right now.
85% had no clear path from prototype to production
75% had no evaluation process tied to launch decisions
43% handled AI risk reactively. One doc at kickoff, never revisited
33% had no post-launch monitoring for drift or degradation
