Learning Outcomes
What you'll learn
The day after you finish
The day after completing this course, you will open a real sprint ticket, generate a production-candidate implementation using structured prompt chaining, run it through your AI-assisted review checklist, catch at least one non-obvious failure the raw AI output introduced, and hand your engineering manager a one-page summary of the workflow with the governance guardrails your team needs to adopt it safely.
Who this is for
- Mid-level to senior software developer with 3-8 years experience already using Copilot or ChatGPT ad hoc who needs to move from casual usage to structured workflow integration
- Tech lead or senior engineer who has been asked by their manager to evaluate, standardize, or govern AI tooling adoption across a team
- Staff engineer or architect assessing where AI-assisted development breaks down at scale — hallucinations, license risk, review fatigue, prompt injection — and needs a defensible governance model
Prerequisites
- Daily professional use of git, GitHub PRs, and at least one branch-based team workflow — you know what a rebase conflict costs you
- Working familiarity with at least one strongly-typed or compiled language (TypeScript, Go, Java, Python with type hints, C#, Rust) and its standard linter/formatter toolchain
- At least 30 days of hands-on use of any AI coding assistant (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT, Cody, or equivalent) — this course does not explain what a language model is

Sprint-to-Merge: AI Workflow Audit and Team Adoption Playbook
Working against a provided GitHub repository containing a realistic legacy TypeScript/Node or Python service with at least three open issues tagged as backlog tickets, the learner selects one medium-complexity ticket, executes the full AI-assisted development workflow taught in the course (context configuration, prompt chain, generation, validation, AI-assisted self-review), then audits the resulting PR diff to document every AI failure mode encountered and every intervention made. They then produce a two-page Team Adoption Playbook as a Markdown document committed to the repo, covering: their IDE and tool configuration decisions with rationale, the prompt chain template they used and where it required correction, a failure mode log with mitigations, and a proposed onboarding sequence and success metrics their team could implement in the next two-week sprint.
What you'll deliver
A GitHub pull request against the capstone repository containing: (1) working code diff that passes the existing test suite and CI pipeline, (2) a PR description written using the AI-assisted review template from Module 5, (3) a PLAYBOOK.md file in the repo root containing the two-page Team Adoption Playbook, and (4) an inline code comment log annotating every point where AI output was accepted, rejected, or corrected and why
