Pipeline Room

Internal-facing transparency: how we map delivery work, rotate review cycles, and check reliability before promoting curriculum changes.

Delivery map

Each cohort is treated like a release train: intake, build, review, deploy, retro. The map below mirrors the wall in our District 11 studio—digital version for remote mentors.

Pipeline review cycle

Weekly

Mentors diff learner repos against rubric tags; no merges without annotation in the review log.

Biweekly

Curriculum owners replay a recorded critique to catch ambiguous instructions before the next unlock.

Monthly

Cross-track retro ties incident drills to syllabus updates; learner support flags scheduling friction.

Reliability checklist

  • Lab clusters pass synthetic deploy before cohort unlock.
  • Backup mentor assigned for every live critique block.
  • Recording + transcript posted within 24h for blended learners.
  • Rollback script tested for each new GitHub Actions template.
  • Support inbox monitored during lab maintenance windows.
  • Incident comms template reviewed if any learner-facing outage exceeds 30 minutes.
