AGENTIC SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLE

Give every agent the right artifact—and every person a clear decision.

The Agentic SDLC connects planning, design, development, testing, deployment and maintenance. The goal is not more AI activity. It is reliable delivery with better context, evidence and handoffs.

THE PRINCIPLEAgents create and check artifacts.

People approve intent, risk, release and learning.

THE CONNECTED JOURNEY

Six stages. One evidence chain.

01

Plan

Evidence becomes reviewed requirements and acceptance criteria.

02

Design

Journeys, interfaces and constraints become a reviewable solution.

03

Build

An approved specification guides bounded AI-assisted development.

04

Test

Risk-led automated and exploratory checks produce visible evidence.

05

Deploy

Identified artifacts move through quality and human approval gates.

06

Maintain

Logs, support reports and incidents return as traceable work.

HUMAN IN THE LOOP

Approve the requirement · approve the solution · review the change · authorize the release

WHAT TEAMS PRACTISE

Capability that follows the work.

Sessions combine explanation, guided practice, team exercises and evidence review using approved repositories and tools.

EVIDENCE

Requirements from mixed sources

Turn transcripts, notes and existing documents into traceable requirements, decisions and acceptance criteria.

DESIGN

Reviewable specifications

Describe the problem, solution, boundaries, edge cases and verification plan before implementation starts.

BUILD

Bounded agent-assisted changes

Prepare repository context, use reusable skills and work in short implementation and inspection cycles.

REVIEW

Intent and blast-radius checks

Compare the exact patch with the approved specification, affected boundaries and executed evidence.

QUALITY

AI-assisted QA with human decisions

Generate useful checks, explore risks, record defects and make an explicit recommendation on the correct build.

OPERATIONS

Production learning returns to work

Translate logs, incidents and support reports into traceable bug specifications, retests and knowledge updates.

PROGRAM SHAPE

Adapt the route after discovery.

A typical engagement uses a six-week starting structure within a four-to-eight-week range. The actual sequence depends on roles, stack and current maturity.

  • Two-to-four-hour coached sessions and labs
  • Exercises and independent practice between sessions
  • Role-specific participation across development, QA, PM and operations
  • Repository and workflow preparation alongside individual capability
  • Capability evidence reviewed without unsupported productivity claims
START WITH EVIDENCE

Bring one real workflow. Leave with a repeatable method.

Start with the work already moving through your organization. We will help you see the gaps and decide the next practical step.
