Certified Agentic AI Product Manager (AAPM)
Design, build, and operate AI agents with a product mindset.
Nov 3 - Dec 22
Intensive live training for product and technology professionals who want to design, prototype, and deploy AI agents and intelligent automations to production. You will work with no-code tools and a real-world project to apply what you learn starting from the very first week.
The paradigm shift
Agentic AI is changing how products are built. However, most available resources are either geared toward developers or remain at a purely conceptual level.
This program is designed for product and technology professionals who need to make real-world decisions: when an agent makes sense and when it doesn't, how to design architectures that scale, how to measure behavior, and how to operate responsibly.
Over the course of 8 weeks, you will build a functional agent from start to finish. Each week combines applied theory, demonstrations using real-world tools, and hands-on work on your own project.
The program assumes that you already possess a foundational background in making product decisions. Our goal is not to teach AI-driven product management from scratch, but rather to provide a framework for designing, evaluating, and operating agentic systems with depth.
The AAPM does not replace comprehensive training in AI-driven product management. It is specialized training focused specifically on agentic systems: when to use them, how to design them, how to evaluate them, and how to operate them responsibly.
Tools: To develop your agent during the program:
- You will need USD 20 in credits on either Claude Console or OpenAI, depending on your preferred platform, to access the models.
- You will also need access to n8n, either through a free local installation by following our tutorial, provided your computer has no installation restrictions, or through an n8n web account and n8n Starter plan (USD 24/month.)
Tools
We will use the following tools
Is the Agentic AI Product Manager (AAPM) program right for me?
You already have a foundation in AI product management or equivalent experience
You want to design AI agents based on use cases.
You need to understand when an agent, an assistant, or an automation is the right approach.
You want to prototype without coding using no-code tools.
You already have a solid enough foundation to work on architecture, memory, RAG, evals, and guardrails.
We recommend starting first with the AI Product Manager (AIPM) program if:
- you are taking your first steps in AI-based products;
- you need to understand the full lifecycle of an AI-based product;
- you want to strengthen your skills in discovery, strategy, validation, metrics, and operations before specializing in agents.
By the end of the program you will be able to:
Distinguish when a problem requires an automation, an assistant, or an AI agent.
Design agentic solutions using frameworks such as ReAct and multi-agent architectures.
Implement memory systems and RAG so your agents can access specific information.
Build a functional agent end to end using no-code tools.
Define evaluation criteria and systematically measure your agents’ behavior.
Implement guardrails, security controls, and cost optimization to operate in production.
Make well-founded product decisions about when and how to incorporate agentic AI.

Competencies
Throughout the program you will develop the following competencies
1. Foundations
- 1.1.Understanding the differences between traditional and intelligent automation, and between AI assistants and agents
- 1.2.Having the ability to formulate a specific problem, identify signals that demonstrate its existence, and design a simple validation task before moving to solutions
- 1.3.Identify when an agent is the correct answer and when it's not
- 1.4.Determine whether a problem requires intelligent automation or an AI agent, and to validate that decision with users before building
- 1.5.Document the problem, solution hypothesis, and validation criteria in a lightweight PRD that enables building, measuring, and evolving the agent iteratively
2. Context Management
- 2.1.Designing memory and knowledge strategies for AI agents
- 2.2.Integrating agents with external tools and services
- 2.3.Build and validate functional AI agent prototypes
3. Orchestration
- 3.1.Design systems where multiple agents collaborate
- 3.2.Evaluate and justify scalability decisions in agentic systems
4. Evaluations (Evals)
- 4.1.Systematically measure AI agent behavior
- 4.2.Establish evaluation frameworks for agentic AI products
5. Operations
- 5.1.Design operational controls for agents in production
- 5.2.Prepare AI agents to operate in production environments
6. Communication
- 6.1.Communicate product decisions about agentic systems
- 6.2.Document and transfer knowledge about agentic AI products
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this course
Yes. The AAPM is a specialized program focused on AI agents. To get the most out of it, we recommend having a foundational background in managing AI-based products.
If you have already completed the Certified AI Product Manager (AIPM) program, that serves as the ideal foundation; however, it is not the only path—you may also participate if you possess equivalent experience. If you are just starting out in the field of AI-based products, we recommend beginning with the AIPM.
If you are new to AI-based products, we recommend starting with the AIPM, as it covers the complete product management lifecycle for AI-driven products: strategy, discovery, validation, prototyping, delivery, metrics, observability, and post-launch evolution.
To develop your agent during the program: You will need USD 20 in credits on either Claude Console or OpenAI, depending on your preferred platform, to access the models. You will also need access to n8n, either through a free local installation by following our tutorial, provided your computer has no installation restrictions, or through an n8n web account and n8n Starter plan (USD 24 /month)
Yes. Once you complete the program, you will receive access to the Certified Agentic AI Product Manager (AAPM) certification exam from Disruption Factory. You will have 30 calendar days to take it, with up to two attempts included.
This is a LIVE program and requires participation in at least 75% of the online sessions. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
The program consists of 24 hours of live sessions and 16 hours of asynchronous practice.
