Structured curriculum for Manual QC, Automation QC, and Leader roles transitioning into the Domain Owner position. Five modules covering mindset, documentation, spec governance, validation, and roadmap ownership.
Coordination and status-reporting are increasingly handled by agents. Your unique contribution is business judgment and priority framing — not orchestration.
Leverage
Stakeholder communication skills translate directly into writing clear backlog problem statements and reviewing release summaries for accuracy.
Extend
Move from high-level direction to ground-level spec correctness. You need to read and approve at detail level, not just endorse at summary level.
Practice
Own the scope/out-of-scope decision for a real backlog item — then document the reasoning in docs/domain/ so agents can use it.
Readiness checklist — exit criteria
Can write a complete domain doc — business rules, glossary, personas — without prompting or referencing examples.
Can review a spec.md and identify at least 3 types of business logic errors before granting approval.
Can distinguish which review findings are "business logic / AC misread" versus technical issues — and route accordingly.
Has walked P0 ACs manually on at least one complete feature and checked off acceptance-criteria.md independently.
Can articulate scope decisions — what's in and out — with documented business rationale in domain files.
Understands ship gate responsibility — approving "all P0 ACs ✓" is a binding sign-off, not a rubber stamp.
⚡ AI agents automate spec drafting, test generation, code writing, and code review — but they do not make judgment calls about business value, scope correctness, or AC intent. Every module in this curriculum builds the judgment that AI cannot replace.
