Key Responsibilities
Project Management (Classical)
- Lead end-to-end waterfall/hybrid agentic AI projects from conception to closure.
- Create WBS, Gantt charts (CPM), and specifications (Agent Capability Matrix, MCP Tool Registry).
- Monitor progress via Plan vs. Actual and Earned Value Management (CPI/SPI) .
- Manage agentic AI–specific risks: goal misalignment, token cost blowouts, MCP downtime, unsafe tool calls.

- Must be able to describe in interview: agent architecture (ReAct, planner-executor, etc.), tools used, how you handled non-determinism, safety guardrails implemented, and lessons learned from failures.
