What's inside
Most teams adopt AI coding tools by pointing them at code and saying "go." That sort of works. But it misses the bigger opportunity.
This book walks you through a four-phase approach: build shared context, wire AI into your review process, let it contribute code, then create a feedback loop so the system keeps getting better. It's written for CTOs, tech leads, and engineering managers who want practical steps, not strategy decks.
The general direction of travel is: understand, stabilise, build, accelerate. Exactly the same as if you were taking over a development team in a business. The tools will improve over time. This is how to do it today.
