Use these exercises to practice final stewardship judgment.

The strongest answers will name evidence, risk, repair, and ownership.

Exercise 1: Review a repository by evidence

Write a five-section review outline for a DVC repository:

  • identity and state layers
  • pipeline and experiment truth
  • metrics, promotion, and release surfaces
  • remote, retention, and recovery
  • tool-boundary recommendations

For each section, name one file or command you would inspect.

Exercise 2: Plan one safe migration

A team wants to move promoted artifacts from publish/v1/ to registry/incident-escalation/v1/.

Write a migration plan that preserves trust and rollback.

Exercise 3: Write a governance rule

Write one durable governance rule for future changes to params.yaml, dvc.lock, or publish/.

Explain which state contract your rule protects.

Exercise 4: Intervene on an anti-pattern

A reviewer sees this comment:

We copied the best model to outputs/latest/; consumers can use that.

Write a better review intervention with a repair path.

Exercise 5: Decide tool ownership

A team wants DVC to handle artifact lineage, deployment approval, model registry lifecycle, and alerting.

Explain which concerns DVC should own and which should probably belong to another layer.

Mastery check

You have a strong grasp of this module if your answers consistently keep five ideas visible:

  • review starts from evidence surfaces
  • migration should move one boundary with proof
  • governance should be small and enforceable
  • anti-patterns are shortcuts that damage state contracts
  • DVC should own artifact lineage, not every production concern
