Role-Based Shift-Left Playbooks
Role-based engineering playbooks for Architects, Developers, PM/QA, and Delivery Leads.
Sub-Track Scope & Core Architecture
The Role-Based Shift-Left Playbooks track delivers specialized engineering blueprints, verification protocols, and reference implementations tailored for mission-critical deployments.
Curriculum Topics (13)
The Everyone Is an IC Manifesto
The shared foundational manifesto doctrine establishing why AI tooling pushes every engineering role toward direct, hands-on execution without flattening management structures.
Architect Shift-Left Playbook
How software and system architects author blueprints, component boundaries, and data contracts precisely enough to double as direct, executable briefs for AI code generation.
Architect Legacy Modernization Playbook
How software architects recover and formalize undocumented architecture into executable blueprints to drive AI-assisted modernization on legacy systems.
Architect Shift-Left Readiness Checklist
A 10-item interactive self-assessment rubric to evaluate the prompt-readiness of architectural blueprints, schemas, and invariants.
Developer Shift-Left Playbook
Why prompts driving AI-native features demand the same version control, code review, and automated testing rigor as production software.
Developer Legacy Modernization Playbook
How AI tooling accelerates safe brownfield modernization: understanding unfamiliar code, generating characterization test safety nets, and incremental strangler refactoring.
Developer Shift-Left Readiness Checklist
A 10-point self-assessment rubric for developers building and maintaining AI-native features.
PM & QA Role AI-Native Shift-Left Playbook
Moving PM and QA upstream into enterprise data integration, cleansing rules, and ground-truth benchmark curation before feature build starts.
PM & QA Legacy Systems Modernization: AI-Simulated UAT Playbook
Using AI personas to simulate a first pass of User Acceptance Testing (UAT) on legacy applications, clearing mechanical friction before live human testing.
PM & QA Role Shift-Left Readiness Checklist
A 10-point self-assessment diagnostic for Product Managers and QA Leads auditing upstream data readiness, adversarial testing, and AI-simulated UAT.
Project Delivery Leader AI-Native Shift-Left Playbook
Prompt-driven orchestration patterns to synchronize project plans, status, and task breakdowns directly with agentic build artifacts.
Project Delivery Leader Legacy Modernization Playbook
Using AI-powered multi-source status synthesis and lightweight scaffolding on legacy maintenance projects.
Project Delivery Leader Shift-Left Readiness Checklist
A 10-point interactive self-assessment checklist for delivery leads auditing authoritative source generation, automated drift probing, structural scaffolding, and sovereign prioritization.
