POWERED BY CI&T FLOW AGENTIC SDLCTRANSFORMATION From isolated AI tools to AI-orchestrated delivery A structured program to transform how your engineering organization builds and ships software with AI — redesigning the software development lifecycle (SDLC) with training, governance and measurable gains at every step. THE SHIFT THE REAL GAP IS HOW ORGANIZATIONS WORK AI is compressing idea-to-production lead time — from months to days — faster than any development process was built to handle. AI is already here: in the work, in the industry, in the way the world moves.What hasn't reached everyone is what brings real, fast and lasting results: processes, rituals and workflows were designed for a speed that no longer exists. Isolated AI tools don't deliver transformative results — agents in silos, pilots that never scale, adoption without adaptation. That's what is still here to change. THE MATURITY JOURNEY THREE STAGES, FROM ASSISTED TO ORCHESTRATED Each stage changes who does the work and how it flows — and each unlocks a different order of gains. Stage 1Individual productivity AI Assisted Humans use AI agents to boost productivity in specific tasks — point-in-time assistance within the existing workflow. Stage 2End-to-end efficiency 5x AI Coordinated AI-driven creation with human-led guidance and validation. Agentic systems begin to coordinate the full development lifecycle. Stage 3Reinvention 20x AI Orchestrated AI autonomously drives development; humans set goals, review checkpoints at every gate and ensure ethics. HOW IT WORKS THREE ACTS OF TRANSFORMATION The program moves your organization through the maturity journey in three acts, with expert services — security, compliance, architecture review and best practices — across all of them. 01 Chart the course Demystify the agentic SDLC for engineers and product teams. Strategy and roadmap, agentic capabilities training, security and compliance clearance, solutions onboarding and a starter bundle — building adoption and the first believers. 02 Set sail Cost optimization and bottleneck elimination. Value stream mapping, agent customization, efficiency indicators tracked against a baseline and two-week improvement cycles — reaching measurable 5x productivity gains. 03 Lead the fleet Redesign the operating model: agentic SDLC architecture, AI-native team topologies and autonomous agents at scale — the trajectory from 5x to 20x, with continuous reinvention. Along the way, new roles keep humans on the loop: the AI Orchestrator coordinates workflows between humans and agents, the AI Engineer configures agentic systems, and the AI Deployer manages safe, reliable releases. THE ENABLEMENT MODEL ONE LIGHTHOUSE AT A TIME We don't park consultants in your organization. A CI&T enabler team pairs with one of your teams, transfers the capability in six weeks, and your team becomes the enabler for the next — stream by stream, the entire operation transforms. Six weeks per stream One week of assessment with value stream mapping and tooling audit, one week of action planning, and two two-week cycles to build, measure and adapt. Knowledge stays with you At week six, our enablers move on and your team carries the practice forward — becoming the navigator that lights the next stream. Measured against your baseline Historical data, key performance indicator (KPI) baselines and output-based criteria are set before implementation, so every gain is verified against your own numbers. An orchestration platform underneath The program runs on CI&T Flow: governed access to large language models (LLMs) and agents, integrated governance and observability across the delivery pipeline. Know more about CI&T FLOW PROOF RESULTS OBSERVED ACROSS CLIENT ENGAGEMENTS From AI Assisted to AI Orchestrated, measured in production delivery. HealthcareAI Coordinated A leading Latin American hospital reached 4x productivity — the team went from six to three people while doubling throughput. Food & beverageAI Coordinated A global food company reached 5.2x team productivity, with delivery effort per unit of work dropping sharply. HealthcareAI Orchestrated A global healthcare company achieved 8x productivity gains, with the development cycle compressed from 8.5 days to half a day. Results measured in production engagements against each client's own baseline; figures refer to the specific operations described. Talk to an expert → QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROGRAM What is Agentic SDLC Transformation? Agentic SDLC Transformation is CI&T's structured program to transform how organizations build and ship software with AI. It moves engineering teams from isolated AI tools to AI-orchestrated delivery, combining strategy and roadmap, training, deployment, ongoing optimization and expert services — with governance and security from the start. How is this different from giving developers AI coding assistants? Coding assistants boost individual tasks; the process around them stays the same. Agentic SDLC Transformation redesigns the software development lifecycle itself — processes, rituals, team topologies and governance — so agentic systems coordinate work end to end. Isolated AI tools don't deliver transformative results; a redesigned way of working does. How does the lighthouse enablement model work? A CI&T enabler team pairs with one client stream-aligned team for a six-week cycle: one week of assessment, one week of action planning, and two two-week implementation cycles. At the end, the client team carries on independently and becomes the enabler for the next stream — so the capability multiplies inside the organization instead of depending on consultants. How do you handle security and compliance? Security and compliance clearance is part of the first act of the program, before agents touch your development lifecycle. The program runs on an orchestration platform with integrated governance and observability, and expert services provide architecture review and best-practice guidance throughout.
