Create an FDE learning roadmap from completed artifacts
In this article (3 sections)
A roadmap should reflect prerequisites and demonstrated work. Spending four weeks on a topic does not prove that its artifact is reproducible or understood.
Select the next dependency
The delivery lab models a five-artifact path.
from delivery_cases import roadmap_case
result = roadmap_case()
assert result["completed"] == ["API service", "CLI"]
assert result["next"] == ["deployed integration"]
assert result["calendar_promise"] is False
assert result["evidence_based"] is TrueFor every phase, name the artifact, prerequisite, acceptance evidence, reviewer and remediation. A possible sequence is CLI, API/data integration, deployed service with restore/rollback, evaluated RAG/agent system, then full client simulation.
Reassess after each review. If tests or explanation reveal a foundation gap, add targeted practice rather than stacking another framework. Keep course duration as planning context, while progress evidence comes from completed and defended artifacts.
The FDE for Freshers course follows seven phases and adds a portfolio artifact at each stage.
Exercise
Build your dependency graph for the next twelve weeks. Attach one acceptance test to every artifact and schedule reviewer checkpoints, then revise from evidence weekly.
