Module 3 Assignment: Agile delivery for AI uncertainty

Scenario

You are advising a delivery team deciding whether an AI project should move from experiment to deployment. The stakeholders are: project sponsor, product owner, ML lead, operations manager, and governance reviewer.

Task

Answer the module question: How do AI projects adapt when results are empirical?

Use the module lab and course readings to produce: deployment decision package with project charter, acceptance gates, risk log, and monitoring plan focused on agile delivery for ai uncertainty: Plan sprints around experiments and decision gates..

Required Evidence

• Define the decision or system boundary in one paragraph.

• Identify the dataset, proxy data, or evidence source you used: synthetic project telemetry with scope volatility, evaluation results, risks, adoption readiness, and operational load.

• Compare at least two alternatives, baselines, policies, or designs.

• Report one quantitative result or structured scoring table.

• Explain two failure modes and one mitigation for each.

• State what additional evidence would be required before real deployment.

Submission

Submit the completed notebook plus a 900-1200 word memo. The memo must include clear headings for context, method, evidence, risks, recommendation, and open questions.

Acceptance Criteria

Your submission is complete only if another reviewer can reproduce your reasoning from the evidence you provide. You do not need production-grade data, but you must be explicit about proxy-data limits and what would change with real institutional data.
