Syllabus
Four modules, twelve lessons. Every lesson states what it covers and the evidence you produce for it.
1Process discovery3 lessons · 9 h
- A03.01
Process discovery
180 minMap a service process with its actual inputs, decisions and handoffs.
Evidence: A map identifies bottlenecks and missing ownership.
- A03.02
Automation suitability
180 minScore steps for rules, APIs, screen automation or AI assistance.
Evidence: Each choice has a reason and a manual fallback.
- A03.03
Baseline measurement
180 minEstimate cycle time, error rate and reviewer effort from sample cases.
Evidence: A baseline distinguishes measured data from assumptions.
2Automation design3 lessons · 9 h
- A03.04
Document extraction
180 minExtract structured fields from synthetic documents with validation.
Evidence: Missing or uncertain fields go to review rather than being guessed.
- A03.05
UI automation boundaries
180 minDemonstrate a controlled mock interface flow and detect changed selectors.
Evidence: A changed page fails safely without unintended submissions.
- A03.06
Decision rules
180 minSeparate policy rules from model-generated suggestions.
Evidence: Policy violations remain blocked even if the model suggests an action.
3Human control3 lessons · 9 h
- A03.07
Human review queues
180 minDesign assignment, escalation and approval capture.
Evidence: Reviewers see evidence and can reject or request revision.
- A03.08
Access and audit
180 minRecord who approved each consequential action.
Evidence: An audit reconstructs the exact inputs and approval decision.
- A03.09
Exception management
180 minHandle duplicate files, unavailable services and ambiguous instructions.
Evidence: Each fault has a tested recovery or escalation route.
4Pilot delivery3 lessons · 9 h
- A03.10
Pilot evaluation
180 minCompare automation with the baseline on a held-out case set.
Evidence: Results include rework and reviewer time rather than only model speed.
- A03.11
Adoption planning
180 minWrite training, communication and operational ownership plans.
Evidence: A plan identifies affected roles and a feedback mechanism.
- A03.12
Scale decision
180 minPresent evidence for expand, revise or stop.
Evidence: The recommendation follows predeclared success and stop criteria.
Capstone
Redesign a document-heavy service process with deterministic steps, bounded AI extraction and human exceptions. Demonstrate a measured baseline and an auditable pilot.
Lab environment
Workflow and AI API sandboxes
Lab infrastructure is not yet provisioned, so this describes the environment the course is designed for rather than one you can launch today.
