7 Steps to a Disciplined AI Development Lifecycle

Each step builds on the last. By the end, every AI-assisted action in your org is tracked, validated, and visible to leadership.

Assessment

An automated scanner analyzes your repos for existing AI tooling, git hooks, CI workflows, and eval infrastructure. A structured SA interview captures organizational context. Together, they map you to a PRISM maturity level (L1–L5) and route you to the right onboarding track.

Environment & Foundations

Set up Claude Code backed by Amazon Bedrock — every AI interaction stays inside your AWS account with CloudTrail audit logging. Configure CLAUDE.md project rules so the AI follows your team's conventions. Install Kiro IDE for spec authoring.

Spec-Driven Development

Write specs before code. Kiro-format specs define requirements, acceptance criteria, and API contracts in markdown. Claude Code implements against the spec. The result: reproducible AI output, reviewable artifacts in git, and no more prompt-iterate-revert cycles.

Instrument AI Metrics

Git hooks auto-tag every commit with AI-origin metadata (tool, model, confidence, session ID). GitHub Actions extract trailers on push and emit structured events to Amazon EventBridge. You get traditional DORA metrics plus 6 AI-native dimensions from day one.

Eval Gates in CI/CD

An LLM-as-Judge pattern using Bedrock Evaluations validates AI output against your specs before merge. Structured rubrics catch hallucinated APIs, spec mismatches, missing error handling, and logic errors — automatically, in every PR.

Dashboards & Visibility

Two dashboards for two audiences. Team velocity dashboards in CloudWatch give engineers real-time, per-repo drill-downs. Executive readout dashboards in QuickSight give leadership weekly trends, cost efficiency, and AI ROI — real metrics, not vibes.

Adopt & Scale

Teams inherit the PRISM bootstrapper: CLAUDE.md templates, spec templates, eval harness, GitHub workflows, and git hooks. Plug it into any repo. Weekly DORA assessments track maturity progression automatically as practices spread across your org.
