Fredericksburg, VA, June 22, 2026 – Flatter, Inc. today announced that Brittany Chiang, Chief Executive Officer, earned the PMI Certified Professional in Managing AI (PMI-CPMAI) credential on June 20, 2026. The credential reinforces Flatter’s commitment to helping federal teams approach artificial intelligence with structure, business alignment, risk awareness, and mission focus.
The PMI-CPMAI credential is organized around a six-phase methodology for managing AI initiatives: Business Understanding, Data Understanding, Data Preparation, Model Development, Model Evaluation, and Model Operationalization. For Flatter, that structure matters because successful AI adoption requires more than tools. It requires a disciplined path from mission need to usable, governed capability.
” AI work has to start with the mission problem, not the technology. From there, disciplined data practices, model evaluation, governance, and operational monitoring are what turn AI from a promising tool into a responsible capability federal teams can trust. Brittany’s PMI-CPMAI credential reinforces the kind of structured, risk-aware approach Flatter brings to mission environments where outcomes, accountability, and public trust matters,” said Karnita McElveen, Team Flatter Chief Operating Officer.
As federal agencies explore AI-enabled capabilities, the risks are practical as well as technical. Poorly defined business problems, weak data foundations, untested models, unclear governance, and lack of operational monitoring can limit value and create avoidable mission risk. The CPMAI framework provides a common language for identifying those risks earlier and managing them throughout the AI lifecycle.
Flatter’s workforce development, digital transformation, and mission acceleration work increasingly intersects with responsible AI education and adoption. Chiang’s credential adds formal recognition to the company’s broader focus on helping teams understand how AI can be planned, evaluated, and operationalized in ways that serve public-sector missions with care and accountability.
Flatter will continue investing in AI education, project discipline, and responsible implementation practices that help customers move from interest in AI to mission-aligned outcomes.
