AI Foundations for Tech Teams

AI Foundations for Tech Teams gives product, engineering, and delivery teams a practical understanding of how AI fits into modern software work. The course builds a shared baseline around core AI concepts, realistic use cases, delivery impact, engineering trade-offs, and AI limitations, helping teams make clearer decisions before moving into adoption, workflow design, or AI delivery.

What you'll learn

AI Fundamentals

  • Explain core AI concepts and terminology relevant to software product and engineering teams
  • Distinguish between AI capabilities and traditional software behaviors in product contexts
  • Distinguish realistic AI use cases from common AI misconceptions in technical product development

AI in Product and Engineering

  • Identify how AI influences product thinking and feature design decisions
  • Explain how AI affects software delivery workflows
  • Identify AI-related risks relevant to product and engineering teams

AI Adoption and Delivery

  • Identify key decision points for adopting AI within technical delivery workflows
  • Explain the shift from AI experimentation to more repeatable delivery practices
  • Identify roles and responsibilities for AI adoption across product, engineering, and delivery teams

AI Impact on Engineering

  • Explain how AI changes engineering trade-offs and technical decision-making
  • Evaluate implications of AI integration on software quality, testing, and maintenance
  • Explain how probabilistic AI outputs change assumptions about system behaviour and reliability

AI Suitability and Evaluation

  • Identify criteria for assessing AI suitability in product and engineering contexts
  • Explain how to assess AI output quality and reliability
  • Recognise common AI failure modes in product and engineering contexts

Collaboration and Communication

  • Identify practical AI literacy needs that support effective communication across technical roles
  • Explain how to communicate AI limitations and uncertainty in product and engineering decisions
