What is the PMI-CPMAI course?
This two-day course introduces PMI's CPMAI approach to managing AI and machine learning projects through its iterative phases, from business understanding to model operationalisation. It is intended for project and product leaders who run data and AI initiatives without necessarily building models themselves.
