You'll be able to
- Synthesize the five preceding course modules into a coherent 1-page initiative brief that identifies desired outcomes, acceptable evidence of success, and planned learning experiences for an AI deployment, applying the backward design framework [^2][^5].
- Evaluate whether a draft initiative brief contains sufficient assessment evidence to validate that desired AI performance goals have been achieved, rather than merely listing activities or content to be covered [^4][^7].
- Create a capstone artifact that operationalizes AI initiative goals in terms of measurable evidence before specifying implementation details, mirroring the backward design principle of thinking like an assessor to clarify targets and improve stakeholder performance [^5].
- Apply the three-stage backward design structure to document (a) the AI outcome and fit, (b) the metrics and risk plan that constitute acceptable evidence, and (c) the data scope and rollout that equip the initiative with needed resources, ensuring coherence across all components [^2][^8].
- Justify the selection of assessment methods along a continuum from informal checks (stakeholder dialogues, pilot observations) to formal performance tasks (production deployment metrics), recognizing that evidence of AI initiative success must be collected over time rather than at a single end-of-project moment [^7].
