The IBM Building and Managing Agentic Teams Professional Certificate prepares leaders and managers to build, deploy, and govern agentic teams where humans and AI agents collaborate to execute work. Across five progressive courses, you will develop practical agentic team leadership skills covering team design, human-AI collaboration, agent configuration in IBM watsonx Orchestrate, multi-agent workflow orchestration, oversight, accountability, trust, responsible AI, and performance management for hybrid teams. You will apply structured frameworks to allocate tasks between humans and agents, define roles and decision rights using an adapted RACI, design for trust and psychological safety, and configure working agents at a manager-configuration level. Through hands-on labs in IBM watsonx Orchestrate, you will orchestrate multi-agent workflows, connect agents to enterprise tools and data, design human handoffs and escalation paths, and build human-in-the-loop oversight proportional to risk. The program addresses governance through the IBM AI Ethics and Trust Framework, teaching you to operationalize ethical commitments into daily team rituals. The capstone produces an integrated leadership package you can present in interviews, internal reviews, and program proposals. No coding background required.
Übungsprojekt
Each course features a cumulative project that builds toward a portfolio-ready leadership package. In Course 1, you produce an Agentic Team Readiness and Topology Brief. Course 2 delivers a Hybrid Team Design Package with task allocation, role definitions, decision rights, a trust-and-safety brief, and a configured working agent in IBM watsonx Orchestrate. Course 3 produces a Working, Supervised Multi-Agent Workflow with integration specifications, handoff designs, oversight schemes, and test reports. Course 4 delivers a Governance and Responsible Agentic AI Package with accountability structures, operating-rhythm designs, and an operationalized IBM AI Ethics and Trust Framework. The capstone in Course 5 integrates all prior work into a complete leadership package with team design, configuration, governance, performance plan, tiered communication plan, risk-mitigation appendix, and a written elevator pitch, refined through structured peer review.
