Adopt AI delivery safely, one workflow at a time.
Most enterprise AI rollouts stall on day 90. This guide takes you from "assess" to "expand" with concrete checkpoints.
- Assess: Inventory IDE agents, ticketing, repos, observability, evidence flow.
- Select: Pick the single highest-friction workflow (usually release readiness).
- Configure: Define approvers, scopes, risk classes, cost ceilings.
- Connect: Wire in source control, ticketing, observability, identity.
- Run: End-to-end mission with human approval at every gate. Operator + CISO + QA review the evidence pack.
- Expand: Roll the playbook across additional BUs and products.
