Agent SDLC Orchestration (Canonical Model)

The canonical AI Agent SDLC Orchestration specification lives in the Transformation track because it defines the end-to-end operating model progression. It is also the orchestration model used by:

  • the Production tier reference implementation
  • the AEEF CLI wrapper
  • the 11-agent production operating model

Why This Page Exists

Production users often look for orchestration under /production/. This page is a shortcut so the canonical model remains easy to find without duplicating content and creating drift.

Implementation Paths

  • Small-team CLI baseline (minimum agents): Use the AEEF CLI 4-role baseline (product, architect, developer, qc) and grow gradually.
  • Transformation path: Use Tier 2: Transformation Apply Path to apply the canonical model in phased rollout (typically 3-5 agents first).
  • Production / enterprise path (full 11 agents): Use Tier 3: Production Apply Path to apply the same model with monitoring, overlays, and full 11-agent controls.
