Delivery, Implementation & Architecture Runway
Intermediate (SA, EA, TS)4-5 hoursArchitecture runway template + delivery dependency map + agile architecture checklist

How architecture supports delivery instead of blocking it — covering architecture runway, phased implementation, dependency management, keeping teams unblocked, and recovering when architecture goes wrong during delivery.

...authentication, logging, configuration, feature flags. Standards — API conventions, coding standards, testing practices. What runway does NOT include: Feature logic — that's the team's responsibility. UI...

AI Measurement & ROI
Intermediate to Senior Leaders3-4 hoursAI measurement framework + ROI model + leadership dashboard template

Proving AI's value — defining success before you start, attributing outcomes correctly, and reporting to leadership in a way they trust. The discipline of answering the question every executive asks: is this worth it?

...counterfactual is the gold standard: what would have happened without AI? In practice, you approximate it. A/B testing gives the highest rigour — a randomised control group without AI. Before/after comparison is...
