# Webinar Series Structure

### Part 1 — Architecture, Setup & Observability (this webinar)

How to instrument Agentic AI applications with MLflow and create the right foundations.

### Part 2 — Evaluation Frameworks for LLM Systems

How to evaluate prompts, RAG pipelines, tools, and agent performance.

### Part 3 — Prompt Management & Optimization

How to improve prompts safely, continuously, and at scale.

As Agentic AI applications become more complex — combining LLMs, tools, RAG pipelines, multi-agent workflows, and business logic — maintaining quality and reliability becomes significantly harder.
Teams quickly face critical questions:

• Why did the agent fail on this request?
• Which prompt version performed best?
• How do we evaluate RAG quality consistently?
• How can we trace tool usage and reasoning paths?
• How do we move from experimentation to reliable SDLC operations?

Building Agentic AI systems is no longer just about creating good prompts — it requires proper observability, evaluation frameworks, prompt lifecycle management, and production-grade governance.
This is where MLflow for GenAI and Agentic AI systems becomes a game changer.
In this 60-minute interactive webinar, we’ll walk through how to use MLflow to structure prompt management, evaluation pipelines, tracing, and observability for Agentic AI applications built with LLMs.
This session is the first webinar of a 3-part series, focused on the architecture and setup foundations required before evaluation and optimization can happen effectively.
We will cover how to instrument applications built with LangChain, LangGraph, OpenAI, and RAG pipelines, and how MLflow helps teams improve quality while making SDLC operations significantly smoother.
