What you’ll learn

The applied AI training for project leaders & operators who'd rather lead the next wave than get caught by it.

Map where AI fits into your weekly PM work (status, risk, scope, stakeholders), and where it doesn't.
Apply the RCITO framework to write prompts and build custom AI assistants.
Review AI output against a checklist before it leaves your hands.

Sort project tasks into "delegate" and "keep human" by stakes and recoverability.
Spec AI agents for routine PM tasks and build them in your approved no-code platform.
Catch agent failure modes by adding the right checks.

Map your project workflows (intake, planning, status, closeout) to pinpoint broken ownership, decisions, and handoffs.
Redesign weekly handoffs with AI built in.
Add checkpoints that keep work moving when people go quiet.

Score agentic platforms against your work and pick one.
Stage workflow candidates for autonomy and plan the rollout.
Ship your first no-code agentic workflow with guardrails and rollback signals.

Score AI outputs, agents, and workflows against four rubrics.
Diagnose AI failures before they reach a stakeholder.
Build the team evaluation habit and cadence.

Run planning, launches, and hard conversations when AI is in the mix.
Build influence with stakeholders outside your reporting line.

Justin Bateh, PhD

CEO @ AI Operators Lab | Ex-COO @ InforMED |PhD & PMP | #1 Maven AI PM Course

With two decades of experience and over 80 successful projects, I know what drives real results and what wastes time. Titles and certificates look impressive, but they don’t build high-impact projects. Clear frameworks, practical tools, and field-tested strategies that work on day one do. That’s what I deliver. I’ve equipped more than 25,000 professionals at companies like Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, Procter & Gamble, & Bank of America with the proven systems I used as a COO to scale teams and execute mission-critical initiatives. Now, you have direct access to that same corporate-level training: built for impact, not theory, from a former COO, eight-time award-winning educator, LinkedIn Top Voice, and LinkedIn Learning instructor.

Eva Spexard

Head of AI Operations @ YouAI | Founder of Intentional Remote | AI Advisor

Eva runs AI operations at a fully remote AI-native company and advises scaling businesses on AI rollouts that actually deliver. She partners with founders, ops leaders, and people leaders who are tired of AI experiments that don't move the business; her angle is that AI projects don't fail on the tech, they fail on adoption, change management, and ownership. Eva brings the practitioner view from inside an AI-native company plus the advisory frameworks she uses with consulting clients, including business case design, tool rollouts, and ROI measurement.

Andrew Keener

Active AI integration Leader at a Major Federal Science Agency

Andrew helps leaders escape the trap of managing work instead of leading it. He partners with owners, CEOs, and managing partners at professional services firms tired of experimenting with AI and seeing no measurable return. His approach is workflow-first: find where time and revenue are leaking, fix the process underneath, and deploy AI only where it delivers measurable, repeatable value. He brings the same playbook he uses with clients directly into this course.
