Methodology: Hybrid AI Teams
How we combine traditional SDLC with AI agents — Four distinct phases ensure seamless integration with your existing workflows
Phase 1 – Setup & Integration (Human-Led)
Connect to your stack and establish guardrails
Value:
Secure foundation with curated toolset
Deliverables:
- •Access & permissions configured
- •Approved tool catalog
- •Project skeleton + audit enabled
- •Risk & escalation plan
Tools:
Phase 2 – Team & Rules Configuration (Human-Led)
Define agents, humans, and operating modes
Value:
Clear operating framework with constraints
Deliverables:
- •RACI & workflow diagrams
- •Agent policy files
- •Throughput & quality dashboards
- •Operating modes per role
Tools:
Phase 3 – Supervised Delivery (Agent-Led, Human Oversight)
Ship increments safely across all roles
Value:
Production-ready increments with human approval
Deliverables:
- •Code, docs, tickets, dashboards
- •PRs, tests, reviews, CI/CD
- •Backlog grooming, user stories
- •Environments, runbooks, monitoring
Tools:
Phase 4 – Continuous Improvement (Human-Led)
Optimize speed, quality, and cost
Value:
Data-driven optimization and scope adjustments
Deliverables:
- •Weekly improvements backlog
- •Updated policies/guardrails
- •ROI & cost reports
- •Metrics review
Tools:
Complete Transparency
All work lands in your tools - Jira, Azure. No black box, no magical SaaS solution.
Seamless Integration
“Integration was smooth; their agents worked in our Jira/Azure setup from day one.”
“We were live in under 48 hours with clear guardrails and human oversight.”
