🗓️ Cadence
Client meetings feed delivery. Status updates are asynchronous, written, and linked from the work item.
Meeting-Driven rituals
| Ritual | Duration | Participants | Nature | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Client / Stakeholder Meeting | 30–45 min | Client, Product Owner, Developer | Meeting-Driven trigger | Meeting Pack: transcript, summary, new terminology & candidate business needs |
| Weekly Triage review | 45 min | Product Owner, Developer | Human decision | Business requirements ranked and logged as backlog issues, each with client evidence |
| Weekly Outcome review | 45 min | Product Owner, QA and maintainer, Developer | Human decision | Validated or invalidated hypotheses and new backlog issues |
| Weekly Persistent Context & Controls review | 45 min | Architect, Developer | Governance | Improved Persistent Context and Deterministic Controls |
| Monthly Operating-Model Retrospective | 1 hour | Product Owner, Architect, Developer, DevOps, QA and maintainer | Strategy | Changes to the operating model itself |
There is no daily standup meeting. Status is a link to the active pull request, its checks, and the preview deployment.
The rules of client meetings in the Agentic Software Factory
- Record and transcribe with a sanctioned tool.
- Extract needs with source quotes. Triage creates backlog issues; Plan defines the acceptance criteria.
- Include a Developer to capture domain context and system constraints.
- Confirm with the client: read back the needs before the meeting ends, then send the summary for a final check.
Internal meeting rules
- A meeting with no decision and no committed artifact is cancelled permanently.
- Every recurring meeting has an owner and an expiration date.
- Pre-reads are AI-drafted and circulated ahead of time; meetings are reserved for debate and decisions, not for reading slides.
- Decisions are written into the repository (Plan record, decision record, or scorecard) before the call ends.
