In this presentation, we will look at how artificial intelligence can learn to produce highly accurate duration estimations, even for complex workflows.

Finally, we’ll look at how such a solution could be integrated into workflows to automate decisions such as “red line” workflows, or pre-emptively scale systems for load.
