DeopShift · A Deop Framework · Agentic SDLC
AI coding agents now take issues and open pull requests. The question stopped being “should developers use AI” — it’s “how does a team work when some of its members are agents.” DeopShift gets you there safely: assessment first, quality-gated rollout, measured results.
individual task output with AI assistants — the real, measured lift
organizational delivery on unmanaged rollouts — the bottleneck moved
of new production code industry-wide is AI-generated
task-level gains on tests, docs, and migrations — when teams are set up for it
Honest numbers, said out loud — and the teams that build with Deop
The idea
New team members get onboarding docs, scoped responsibilities, a review bar, and performance measurement. DeopShift gives agents the same: instructions files that teach your repos, custom agents with defined roles, one review standard for human and agent code, and team-level scorecards baselined before rollout.
Licenses are bought. Autocomplete is adopted. Delivery hasn’t moved — because the bottleneck relocated into work definition, review capacity, and governance. More tooling can’t fix that. Team design can. That’s what DeopShift installs.

The DeopShift path
Assess — 2 weeks: every team placed on the maturity model, weakest link named
Pilot — 14 weeks: L2 Delegated → L3 Orchestrated, behind quality gates
Scale — onboarding waves run by your own certified champions
→
L4 Team-integrated
✓ Agents hold real team responsibilities
✓ One review bar — human and agent
✓ Team scorecards vs. baseline
✓ Expansion gated on change failure rate
Your level is your
weakest dimension
— adoption is gated by the weakest link, so that’s what gets fixed first
The offers
Two weeks, fixed fee — C$18–30K / US$15–25K. The entry point, fully credited against a pilot within 60 days.
Every team placed on the 5-level maturity model
Weakest link named per team, with evidence
Repo scan + flow baseline from your own data
A 90-day roadmap that’s yours regardless
Fourteen weeks standard (12–16 by team count). One to three teams to safe delegation — and a scale decision backed by your own data.
Governance & working agreements installed
Starter kit: instructions files, custom agents, CI gates
Role-based training + weekly coaching
Monthly team scorecards vs. baseline
Agent-accelerated legacy work — run entirely inside your GitHub org.
Estate discovery: 3–6 weeks, fixed fee
Requirements reverse-engineered from code
Migration waves priced per unit
Characterization tests before any change
Waves of team onboarding run increasingly by your own people — self-sufficiency is the promise.
Onboarding waves: 5–10 teams per 6 weeks
Champions certified to run the framework
Advisory: two quarters, renewed against exit criteria
Deop’s involvement tapers by design
Gated, not hyped
Delivered with
+
1
Two weeks: maturity scored across six dimensions, flow metrics pulled from your own repos — before any rollout.
2
Expansion freezes if change failure rate rises — it’s in the contract. Team-level metrics only; never individual surveillance.
3
Agents take real issues behind branch protection, required reviews, and CI gates — one review bar for human and agent code.
4
Monthly scorecards against the baseline: DORA four keys, review latency, agent share — a scale decision on your own data.
The path
Two weeks to know where you stand. A 14-week pilot takes two teams to safe delegation. Then a scale decision backed by your own scorecards — not vendor benchmarks.
Weeks 1–2 · Assessment

↻ Every phase earns the next — the assessment fee is fully credited against the pilot
How we’re different
Delivered on GitHub Copilot, coding agent, Agent HQ, Actions, and Spec Kit — the stack you already license. Every artifact lands in your repos and your tenant. No Deop platform, by design.
We run DeopShift on Deop’s own repositories — same starter kit, same working agreements, same scorecards. Ask to see the delegation log, including the failures.
Deop holds the Microsoft Agentic DevOps with Azure and GitHub specialization — independently audited, and exactly this work. Delivered with Microsoft and GitHub.
We went first
delegation logged — predicted vs. actual, iterations to merge
merges and rejections kept — rejection is cheap by design
review bar — the same one we install with clients
“Before asking any client to work this way, we did — on our own repositories, with the same starter kit, working agreements, and scorecards we install with clients. The log is real: merges, rejections, and the instructions-file fix each failure produced. Ask to see it — especially the failures.”
Questions leaders ask us
No — it changes what they spend time on. Work shifts toward definition and review; those become the scarce skills, and DeopShift trains and measures for them explicitly.
A plateau after autocomplete is the normal L1 wall — a team-design problem, not a tooling problem. The assessment locates the weakest dimension per team; the pilot fixes that first, behind quality gates.
Never. Team-level metrics only, baselined before rollout — and that’s contractual. Surveillance metrics kill the trust adoption depends on.
Yes — everything runs inside your GitHub org and your tenant, under your existing controls. PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25 alignment is documented in every governance deliverable.
The assessment is fixed-fee — C$18–30K / US$15–25K by team count — and fully credited against a pilot within 60 days. Pilot and modernization are quoted precisely after a 30-minute discovery call.
GitHub-native first: Copilot, coding agent, Agent HQ, Actions, Spec Kit, and GitHub’s enterprise AI controls. The framework itself is tool-agnostic — Claude Code and other agents slot into the same working agreements when your teams sanction them.
One fixed price, one fixed calendar — every team placed on the maturity model, the weakest link named, and a 90-day roadmap you keep either way.
