Why this topic matters

Organisational authority is increasingly delegated to small, localised teams arranged around product or customer lines. Without effective oversight this can lead to duplication of effort, cost of rework, resource bottlenecks and unforeseen delays. In this lesson you will learn how to deploy your own agentic assistant ready to ingest unstructured plans from across your organisation and mine them for dependencies.
