Backlog grooming and estimation
Incoming requests are triaged, clarified and sized; a sprint proposal goes to the product owner for approval.
Backlog grooming and estimation
- Weekly triage: 27 new requests (14 features, 9 bugs, 4 tech debt)
- 3 duplicates merged (PROJ-4901 ↔ 4887), 24 requests ranked; velocity 46 points/sprint
- Plan: clarify vague requests → estimate → propose sprint → product owner approval
- PRD and prior decisions read; clarifying questions drafted for 6 requests
- 6 questions asked in #product, 5 answered; PROJ-4910 parked
- Affected modules and change frequency pulled: 4 requests touch checkout
- Estimate: 23 requests = 118 points; 2 above 13 points → split proposed
- Sprint 42 proposal: 11 requests, 44 points (velocity 46), no dependency clash
- Product owner reviewed the proposal, swapped 1 request, approved sprint 42
- Sprint 42 created, 11 requests moved with points, the rest re-prioritised

Feature delivery pipeline
A Jira epic turns into criteria, design, code and tests via agents; humans only review and approve the PR.
CI/CD release pipeline
Build, tests, scans and staging run unattended; production ships only on release-manager approval, via ArgoCD.
Incident response and hotfix
Alert fires, bug reproduced, patch and regression run ready; on-call approves, post-mortem already drafted.
Time to move from experimenting with AI to transforming with it.
In a 30-minute discovery session we take your 2–3 priority business problems, show a live demo of a similar scenario, and draft a roadmap that starts with the Value layer.
