6X FASTER PRE-DEVELOPMENT FOR A LEADING BRAZILIAN MEDIA COMPANY

A multi-agent workflow cut pre-development time by 85%, from 2.5 to 0.33 days, and tripled Business Capability Points (BCPs) delivered.

INTRODUCTION

A leading Brazilian media company was modernizing the architecture of two major digital applications. Delivery delays and a growing backlog were slowing the migration and putting pressure on execution.

CI&T introduced a multi-agent SDLC to connect epic refinement, story preparation, development, code review, and QA across the delivery process.

With a workflow Powered by CI&T Flow, teams automated key activities from Epic Refinement to Story Ready and extended AI support into development and testing.

The result was a 6x faster pre-development cycle and 3x more Business Capability Points delivered.

THE CHALLENGE: RESTORING DELIVERY MOMENTUM

An architectural migration was facing delays and a growing backlog, requiring a faster path from requirements to implementation.

Architectural Migration

Two major digital applications were undergoing an architectural migration, requiring teams to modernize existing products while maintaining delivery progress.

Delivery Backlog

Delivery delays had created a backlog and slowed the migration, increasing pressure on the team to recover execution speed.

Pre-Development Friction

Epic and story refinement required multiple steps before development could begin, creating an opportunity to accelerate story readiness.

THE SOLUTION

CI&T deployed a multi-agent SDLC workflow connecting refinement, development, and QA, helping teams reduce manual effort and accelerate delivery.

Epic Refinement

An Epic Refiner agent captured business context and broke epics into user stories, helping teams structure work earlier and move more efficiently into detailed refinement.

Story Refinement

A Story Refiner agent supported functional and technical refinement, helping transform user stories into clearer, development-ready inputs.

Development & QA

AI capabilities supported code generation, code review, test case creation, and QA activities, extending the workflow beyond pre-development into implementation and validation.

THE IMPACT

The agentic workflow accelerated pre-development and increased delivery throughput across the app migration.

FASTER PRE-DEVELOPMENT

Pre-development time reduced from 2.5 to 0.33 days

Faster transition from refinement to story-ready work

Reduced manual effort across upstream activities

MORE BCPs DELIVERED

3x more Business Capability
Points delivered

Higher throughput after the
agentic workflow
