ROOT_ Program Duration Model
Phase 6F Step 25 (built on Phase 6E §28) — recalculated from actual authored activities in the
live database after Phase 6F's curriculum integration (orientation module + the three
practice-bank intro lessons). Run: SELECT c.course_id, SUM(a.estimated_duration_minutes) ... GROUP BY c.course_id against the current schema, same method as every prior version of this
document.
Per-course totals (self-paced estimate)
| Course | Activities | Minutes | Hours | In ROOT_ V1? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ROOT 01 Computing & Linux Foundations | 38 | 353 | 5.9 | Yes |
| ROOT 02 Linux Administration & Networking | 37 | 388 | 6.5 | Yes |
| ROOT 03 Git & Collaborative Development | 31 | 312 | 5.2 | Yes |
| ROOT 04 Containers & Docker | 43 | 444 | 7.4 | Yes |
| ROOT 05 Kubernetes Foundations | 28 | 403 | 6.7 | Yes |
| ROOT 06 Kubernetes Application Workloads | 23 | 299 | 5.0 | Yes |
| ROOT 07 Kubernetes Networking & Configuration | 28 | 356 | 5.9 | Yes |
| ROOT 08 Kubernetes Storage & Scheduling | 15 | 250 | 4.2 | No — excluded |
| ROOT 09 Kubernetes Security | 40 | 745 | 12.4 | Yes (required for Capstone) |
| ROOT 10 Kubernetes Troubleshooting & Observability | 21 | 280 | 4.7 | Yes |
| ROOT 11 DevOps & Platform Engineering (orientation only) | 3 | 35 | 0.6 | Yes (optional bonus) |
| ROOT 12 Real Ops | 6 | 115 | 1.9 | Yes (required for Capstone) |
| ROOT Capstone | 5 | 120 | 2.0 | Yes |
| Total (all authored content, incl. excluded ROOT 08) | 318 | 4,100 | 68.3 | |
| ROOT_ V1 total (excludes ROOT 08) | 303 | 3,850 | 64.2 |
ROOT 01's activity/minute count grew by 3 activities / 15 minutes this phase (the new
root-01-m00-welcome-to-root orientation module). ROOT 06/07/10 each grew by 1 activity / 3-4
minutes (their new practice-bank intro lessons). See docs/ROOT_V1_CURRICULUM_MANIFEST.md for
why.
ROOT Foundations (01-04) subtotal: 149 activities, 1,497 minutes, 25.0 hours.
Self-paced vs. instructor-led
Unchanged from Phase 6D/6E: the figures above are self-paced estimates (the sum of each
activity's own estimated_duration_minutes). Instructor-led classroom time is still not a
separate summable database field — every Instructor Notes section documents approximate live-
facilitation timing in prose. A future phase could add a distinct
estimated_duration_minutes_instructor_led column if precise classroom scheduling becomes a
real, measured need. See docs/ROOT_V1_INSTRUCTOR_LED_PILOT.md for the cohort packaging this
duration model supports.
What this is NOT
Not a marketing duration, not a promise, not a certification-hours figure.
estimated_duration_minutes values were authored as honest guesses (see
docs/COURSE_AUTHORING_STANDARD.md §4) — this total will get more accurate as real completion-
time data accumulates from actual students, not before.
Program completeness — ROOT_ V1 vs. the full authored program
ROOT_ V1 (docs/ROOT_V1_CURRICULUM_MANIFEST.md) is 64.2 of the program's 68.3 authored hours —
everything except ROOT 08, deliberately excluded as non-Capstone-gating and not yet authored to
V1 standard. ROOT 11's remaining six modules were never counted in either total (they don't
exist yet, unlike ROOT 08's PARTIAL-but-real content) — see docs/ROOT_CURRICULUM_COVERAGE_ MATRIX.md for the honest READY/PARTIAL/PLANNED breakdown across the entire program.
