What you will be ready to do
Build judgment.Show your work.
Close the gap between a polished demo and a useful production system.
This program combines live learning with applied practice so you leave with a repeatable approach and evidence of what you can do.
Prototype in context
Build against real users, data boundaries, systems, and operating conditions.
Evaluate for adoption
Measure usefulness, quality, risk, and workflow fit with the people who will use the system.
Lead the handoff
Document architecture, operations, ownership, and a credible path from pilot to production.
Inside the intensive
The capabilitiesbehind the credential.
Embedded discovery
Interview stakeholders, map workflows, identify constraints, and write testable problem statements.
Rapid solution design
Select patterns, prototype quickly, and make architecture decisions around the customer environment.
Integration and evaluation
Connect the system to workflows, design meaningful tests, and refine it with user evidence.
Adoption and production handoff
Plan change, monitoring, support, documentation, and ownership after the initial deployment.
The two-week capstone
Turn learning intoproof of capability.
Take a real workflow from discovery through a production-ready solution plan, including a prototype, evaluation results, adoption strategy, and technical handoff.
- A discovery and requirements brief
- A workflow-integrated prototype
- An evaluation and risk report
- A production handoff package
