W51–W52: Final Review + Roadmap

W51–W52: Final Review + Roadmap

What you’re doing

You stop rushing to the next shiny thing.

This final block is where you:

• review what you built (honestly)
• package it (clean, consistent, easy to show)
• decide what to double down on next year

Because the whole point wasn’t “learn stuff”.
The point was: build a system and prove you can ship.

Time: 4–6 hours/week
Output: a final portfolio pack + a roadmap for the next 6–12 months + a maintenance plan so your work doesn’t rot

The promise (what you’ll have by the end)

By the end of W52 you will have:

• A clean portfolio hub page (links to all projects + case studies)
• A final “what I built” inventory (components, repos, demos)
• A metrics snapshot (what improved, what works, what’s weak)
• A next-year roadmap (3 bets max)
• A maintenance plan (so systems stay alive)

The rule: finish like a professional

Finishing = packaging + proof + next plan.
Not “I’m tired, good enough”.

Step-by-step checklist

1) Do a brutally honest review

For each project answer:

• What works reliably?
• What is still fragile?
• What is missing but important?
• What would I fix first if this was real production?

Write it down. Don’t lie.

2) Create a final inventory

List:

• repos
• demos
• scripts
• docs
• reports
• dashboards (if any)

This becomes your “portfolio index”.

3) Capture metrics snapshot

For example:

• retrieval top-5 hit rate
• classifier accuracy on golden set
• needs_human rate
• number of runbooks/docs
• number of DQ rules
• number of recurring clusters detected

Even if the numbers are from benchmarks/samples, capture them.
This is your proof.

4) Build the portfolio hub page

One page on your site that links:

• project repos
• case studies
• demos
• key screenshots

This is what you send to people.

5) Define your next-year roadmap (3 bets max)

Pick 3 bets. Examples:

• Turn Ticket Analyzer into a deployable internal tool (auth + multi-tenant + real integrations)
• Turn Data Pipeline into a reusable framework for SAP extraction + DQ
• Turn KB/RAG into a “runbook assistant” with governance + continuous updates

One bet = one theme with clear outcomes.

6) Maintenance plan (so it doesn’t rot)

Define a monthly cadence:

• run all checks
• update dependencies
• review stale docs
• refresh golden set (carefully)
• publish one proof post

Small. Sustainable.

Deliverables (you must ship these)

Deliverable A — Final portfolio hub

• one page with links and summaries
• easy to share

Deliverable B — Final review doc

• honest strengths/weaknesses
• prioritized fixes

Deliverable C — Metrics snapshot

• numbers captured in one place
• used in case studies

Deliverable D — Roadmap + maintenance plan

• 3 bets max for next 6–12 months
• monthly maintenance cadence

Common traps (don’t do this)

Later means drift. Plan now.

• Trap 1: “I’ll plan later.”

3 bets max, otherwise you dilute effort.

• Trap 2: “Too many bets.”

No maintenance = your portfolio rots and becomes embarrassing.

• Trap 3: “No maintenance.”

Quick self-check (2 minutes)

Answer yes/no:

• Do I have a shareable portfolio hub page?
• Did I write an honest review with prioritized fixes?
• Did I capture metrics as proof?
• Did I choose 3 bets max for next year?
• Do I have a simple monthly maintenance cadence?

If any “no” — fix it before you call the program “done”.
