A guide for AI-assisted teams

Agentic
Agile

AI can write the code. Whether you understand what it built —
and had a say in how — is a different question.

What we're seeing

01

The speed gap

AI agents ship code faster than teams can understand it. That's not a tool problem — it's a process one. Nothing in the standard workflow requires comprehension before the work moves on.

What we're seeing

02

The broken assumption

Agile was built on the idea that the people writing the code understand it. Every ceremony assumes that. When an agent does the building, that assumption quietly stops being true — and nothing in the process flags it.

03

The fix

Decomposing work into phases with clear entry and exit points gives everyone a place to stay involved — regardless of role, codebase, or which AI tool is doing the execution.
