Programme Objectives

  • Develop advanced expertise in applying Windsurf across enterprise software engineering, application support, troubleshooting, automation, modernisation, and IT operations.
  • Architect multi-agent development workflows combining codebase intelligence, local execution, autonomous cloud agents, testing, debugging, and human engineering review.
  • Build reusable engineering standards using project instructions, workflows, skills, contextual rules, and approved tool integrations.
  • Integrate AI coding agents with repositories, observability platforms, project-management systems, documentation sources, and other enterprise tools through controlled interfaces.
  • Establish secure, scalable governance covering agent permissions, code quality, testing, data handling, change control, deployment, monitoring, and production accountability.

Scenarios

Enterprise Application Change to Governed Production Release

Business Requirement → Fast Context & Code Maps → Architecture Impact → Multi-Agent Task Decomposition → Feature Implementation → Automated Tests → Security & Code Review → Pull Request → Release Approval → Deployment → Production Monitoring

Participants coordinate local and cloud coding agents to implement a complex application change while maintaining human engineering ownership of architecture, security, testing, code acceptance, and production release.

Production Incident to Permanent Engineering Improvement

Production Alert → Observability Evidence → Agent-Assisted Codebase Investigation → Root-Cause Validation → Remediation → Regression Tests → Rules / AGENTS.md / Workflow Update → Engineering Review → Controlled Deployment → Monitoring

Participants resolve a realistic production problem and convert the lessons learned into persistent agent instructions and reusable engineering controls, reducing the risk of similar incidents while retaining accountable human oversight.
