Evaluation Driven Development (EDD) Series
A High-Level Introduction to Evaluation Driven Development
Workshop
Are you shipping GenAI features without a clear way to measure quality and reduce risk?
Evaluation Driven Development (EDD) is the foundational approach for making GenAI outcomes testable, improvable, and trustworthy at scale.
To win, your GenAI solutions need to be built on clear evaluation signals that prevent surprises in production.
The Challenge
Without a strong approach to evaluation, teams struggle to:
- Manage Hidden Failure Modes — Issues stay invisible until real users trigger edge cases.
- Align on “Good” — Stakeholders debate quality because there’s no shared definition or metric.
- Debug and Improve Outputs — Teams can’t pinpoint why responses fail or how to fix them fast.
Evaluation gaps will drive quality problems, hallucinations, operational risk, and dissatisfied users.
Our Solution
In this hands-on workshop, your team learns how to frame, plan, and apply EDD so evaluation becomes a repeatable part of GenAI delivery. Areas of focus include:
- Framing Evaluation in GenAI Development — Make evaluation a first-class part of delivery, not a late-stage scramble.
- Core EDD Concepts and Benefits — Understand the practical ideas that make EDD repeatable and scalable.
- Risk Mitigation and Solution Quality — Connect evaluation to reliability, trust, and launch confidence.
- Where and When to Use EDD — Target the highest-leverage points in your workflow to apply evaluation.
- Implementation Planning — Leave with a concrete plan to start EDD in your environment.
Skills You'll Gain
- Evaluation-First Thinking — Define what “good” means and turn it into measurable signals.
- Practical Risk Reduction — Identify where evaluation will reduce failure modes and rework fastest.
- Stronger Quality Conversations — Align product, business, and risk stakeholders on shared quality criteria.
- Faster Iteration Loops — Use evaluation signals to diagnose issues and improve outputs systematically.
- EDD Rollout Readiness — Build a realistic plan to implement EDD across one or more GenAI use cases.
