POWERED BY CI&T FLOW

AGENTIC SDLC
TRANSFORMATION

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 1
Individual productivity

AI Assisted

Humans use AI agents to boost productivity in specific tasks — point-in-time assistance within the existing workflow.

Stage 2
End-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 3
Reinvention

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.

PROOF

RESULTS OBSERVED ACROSS CLIENT ENGAGEMENTS

From AI Assisted to AI Orchestrated, measured in production delivery.

Healthcare
AI Coordinated

A leading Latin American hospital reached 4x productivity — the team went from six to three people while doubling throughput.

Food & beverage
AI Coordinated

A global food company reached 5.2x team productivity, with delivery effort per unit of work dropping sharply.

Healthcare
AI 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.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

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.

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.

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.

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.
