AIF I Cheat Sheet: Direction, Evidence and Human Ownership
Review practical AIF I distinctions for prompting, source checks, confidence, permissions, Scrum accountabilities and responsible AI habits in product teams.
Keep the task, evidence and owner visible
| Situation | Useful check |
|---|---|
| An answer sounds fluent and certain | Does relevant evidence support the specific claim? |
| A citation looks authoritative | Does it exist, support the claim and apply to this case? |
| A second model agrees | Is there an independent basis for confidence beyond agreement? |
| A draft claims to summarise customer needs | Which findings were observed, and which statements are generated suggestions? |
| A tool can technically perform an action | Is it permitted, and who owns the decision and result? |
| Drafting is faster | What happened to checking, correction, total effort and product value? |
Direct and iterate from observed shortcomings
Give the relevant purpose, audience, context, constraints and useful output structure. Inspect the result against the actual need. When it misses, identify the mismatch and make a focused revision; a longer prompt is not automatically better.
These are practical dimensions, not a reconstruction of the course’s unverified five-element Direction template. Requesting assumptions or uncertainty can support review without guaranteeing a model’s internal reasoning trace or calibrated probability.
Preserve human accountability
AI does not become a Scrum Team member or acquire authority by producing a recommendation. Product Owner accountability for value and Product Backlog management remains human. Developers retain responsibility for their work and quality through the Definition of Done. A generated checklist does not certify Done or establish team agreement.
Apply the organisation’s stated data, disclosure and approval rules. A local restriction is not a universal ban on all customer data, and anonymisation should not be assumed to remove every risk. Check the final revised output before using it.
Build foundations through repeated use
The public Level 1 Journey Map lenses are Understanding, Direction, Evaluation and Responsibility. Develop purposeful use, productive skepticism, relevant direction and accountable review while retaining independent skills. Readiness cues support a development conversation; they are not an invented exam threshold or authority to expand autonomy.
The three formal course failure labels and five exact template elements remain outside this sheet’s verified detail. Use the current course and official resources for formal coverage. This quick review does not replace the required course.
