AI-Native SDLC

The traditional SDLC was built for a world without AI. It's time for a new lifecycle — one where AI assists every step.

Requirements → Design → Development → Testing → Deployment. The classic waterfall or agile variants worked for decades. But they assume humans are doing all the work.

The AI-native SDLC is different:

  • Brief — Write what you want with AI assistance
  • Align — Get stakeholder consensus in minutes
  • Plan — AI generates structured tasks from briefs
  • Execute — AI agents help implement the plan
  • Ship — Measure outcomes against goals

Hamster and Taskmaster together implement this new lifecycle. Planning in Hamster, execution with Taskmaster.
