Syllabus
Four modules, twelve lessons. Every lesson states what it covers and the evidence you produce for it.
1Client discovery3 lessons · 9 h
- O03.01
Discovery interviews
180 minClarify workflow pain points, affected users and constraints.
Evidence: An interview record separates needs from requested technology.
- O03.02
Problem and value definition
180 minSet a baseline, measurable outcome and excluded scope.
Evidence: The sponsor brief includes acceptance and stop criteria.
- O03.03
Data readiness
180 minAudit access, quality, provenance and operational availability.
Evidence: A readiness report identifies blockers and remediation owners.
2Solution design3 lessons · 9 h
- O03.04
Architecture options
180 minCompare a deterministic baseline and AI-enabled alternatives.
Evidence: An option decision records cost, security and maintenance tradeoffs.
- O03.05
Delivery planning
180 minBreak the solution into milestones with dependencies.
Evidence: A plan includes test evidence and a realistic fallback.
- O03.06
Secure prototype
180 minBuild the smallest useful workflow in the project sandbox.
Evidence: The prototype meets a narrow acceptance test without external side effects.
3Implementation3 lessons · 9 h
- O03.07
System integration
180 minConnect mock enterprise systems through validated contracts.
Evidence: Integration tests cover timeout, duplicate and unauthorised requests.
- O03.08
Evaluation and review
180 minMeasure held-out task performance and reviewer effort.
Evidence: Results compare against the original baseline and expose failures.
- O03.09
Production readiness
180 minCheck permissions, monitoring, cost limits and rollback.
Evidence: All critical readiness checks pass or block release.
4Acceptance3 lessons · 9 h
- O03.10
User acceptance
180 minRun a scripted acceptance session with a reviewer.
Evidence: Defects are recorded, prioritised and retested.
- O03.11
Training and handover
180 minPrepare user guidance, operational documentation and ownership.
Evidence: A reviewer completes a task and recovery exercise from the materials.
- O03.12
Final defence
180 minDemonstrate the solution and explain limitations and next steps.
Evidence: The panel can reproduce outcomes and trace evidence to requirements.
Capstone
Deliver a scoped AI solution for a simulated client, from discovery and architecture to deployment, evaluation, training and operational handover.
Lab environment
Combined project sandbox
Lab infrastructure is not yet provisioned, so this describes the environment the course is designed for rather than one you can launch today.
