Course Duration3 hours
Overview
Designed for Project Professionals ready to apply their agentic AI knowledge, PMI® Essentials: Agentic AI Build Lab for Project Managers is a practical, hands-on experience that will help you turn a real work challenge into a working AI agent. Scope an agent-ready problem, write instructions, add tools, diagnose failures and improve performance through iterative testing. You'll also design a human oversight model and brief stakeholders on what you built, how it works and why it can be trusted. No technical or programming background is required.
What you'll learn
Build a working agent through a practical loop. Scope the problem, write instructions, diagnose failures, add tools, iterate and design human oversight.
Introduction
Enter the build lab and get oriented to the hands-on experience. Explore the build cycle that will guide you as you scope, build, diagnose, improve and responsibly share a working AI agent.
Module 1
Attempt
Turn a real work challenge into an agent-ready problem. Use the quality rubric to refine your approach, write effective instructions and launch your first working agent in the platform or tool of your choice.
Module 2
Diagnose
Uncover why your agent behaves the way it does. Examine its decisions and available tools, identify failure patterns and diagnose root causes before making improvements.
Module 3
Iterate
Improve your agent through structured experimentation. Add tools, make targeted changes and repeat the build/test/diagnose cycle to strengthen performance and create a more effective solution.
Module 4
Deploy
Prepare your agent for responsible use. Design a human oversight model that defines where the agent can act independently and where review is required, then communicate your approach and decisions to stakeholders.
Conclusion
Leave with practical tools and reusable structures to continue building and improving agentic solutions, along with opportunities to share your experience with peers, colleagues or your PMI chapter and learn from how others approach agentic AI.
