How the ADLC works

From a blank PRD to a report that writes itself.

One engine helps every role at its own step of the Agentic Development Life Cycle, and keeps them all honest against the same ground truth.

Phase 01

Plan & scope

ProductEngineering leaders
Shape the PRD

Turn a rough idea into a crisp product requirements doc.

Generate the ERD from the PRD

Derive the technical design straight from the product requirements, so engineering leaders start from the intent rather than a blank page.

Generate the execution plan from the ERD

Turn that design into a sequenced plan of initiatives, epics, and stories you can act on.

Auto-create the backlog

Write the initiatives, epics, and tickets into your tracker.

Draft acceptance criteria

A testable definition of done on every ticket.

Phase 02

Build

Developers
Criteria in the coding assistant

The ticket’s acceptance criteria reach the developer’s assistant, in context.

Definition-of-Done check

A pull-request status check that blocks a merge until the work is truly done.

Source-control hooks

Branches, PRs, reviews, and merges flow in as ground truth.

Phase 03

Track & align

TPMsProgram managers
Correct status drift

Move each ticket to the status the code actually proves.

Fix misalignment

Reconcile source control against the trackers, both directions.

Surface blockers early

Unmet criteria, cross-team dependencies, and stalls, before they bite.

Phase 04

Report

Senior leaders
Reports on demand

Product and TPMs generate a status report in a click.

Automatic exec reports

Weekly and monthly reports reach senior leaders, with nobody assembling them.
