Nearly every person on the team now uses AI. Very few organizations use AI in a consistent, scalable, repeatable way, with results that show up in delivery. AI Sprints coaches and consults product, development, and QA teams to close that gap — on their real work, measured against their own baseline.

From Accelerating Software Delivery with AI — Research Digest, October 2026. One number per line here; the evidence is in the report.
Across 22,000 organizations, the median team's delivery throughput rose 4% with AI; the top 5% of teams roughly doubled (CircleCI). Sections 1–2 →
Organizational factors explain 67% of AI impact against 32% for individual factors (Microsoft). And it does not fix itself: 81% of organizations provide AI tools, 46% provide training (Giray et al.). Section 3 →
Leadership · People · Practice · Quality · Workflows. Top performers invest in hands-on coaching 57% vs 20% (McKinsey). Section 4 →
An enterprise mandate paired with standardized tooling and re-engineered review reached 2.09x throughput with merge and revert rates stable (Stanford/CMU, 802 developers). Section 5 →
The research says the teams that accelerate do five things. Each one maps to an AI Sprints offering, delivered with your teams on your committed work.
Decides at the top: strategy, investment, initiative, baseline > target, and where saved time goes.
Baseline and target set before spend, and progress tracked against them.
Coach hands-on, on real work: competence to direct AI, confidence to use it, and the ability to explain and vouch for the result.
Role-by-role, hands-on, on your committed delivery work.
Make intent explicit: context, specs, standards, and rules files become the new control surface.
Written down and shared, so the practice lives across the team, not in two people.
Re-engineer review and verification for AI volume: risk-tiered review, tests with every change, human in control.
Redesign the workflows: before scaling the tools, the whole lifecycle, product and QA inside it, and beyond.
AI workflows help reimagine your workflows and implement them in days, not weeks.
The starter library includes role-specific workflows for individuals, teams, and end-to-end workflows.
Human-centered, tool- and LLM-agnostic, coaching with an exit: champions and credentialed practitioners keep the capability in-house when we leave.
Program measurements on tracked delivery work, Dec 2025 – Jul 2026 cohorts, 170+ engineers. Not survey self-reports.
50%–60% faster software delivery with AI Sprints Coaching.
Publicly announced its AI Sprints Coaching initiative: AI adoption built on supported teams, human judgment, and quality.
Your engineers are already faster with AI; your roadmap isn't — yet. One practice across product, development and QA, on the work already committed.
Your margin is engineering time. One structured practice across teams and accounts, with the governance and the baseline-to-result evidence your clients will ask for.
AI Sprints is a coaching and consulting program from Partnered Solutions LLC. It helps product, development and QA teams use AI in a consistent, scalable, repeatable way on their real work. Coaching builds the competencies; consulting covers leadership, program management and benchmarking. Results are measured against each team's own baseline.
Across 22,000 organizations, the median team's delivery throughput rose 4% with AI, while the top 5% of teams roughly doubled (CircleCI). Individual engineers using AI in their own way are 10–25% faster on real work, but the organization typically gets 0–10%.
Coding is only 25–35% of idea-to-launch time (Bain), and ad-hoc AI use adds cost downstream: larger pull requests, slower reviews, more rework and more incidents. Research is consistent that the organizational system around the tools — people and process — decides whether value is realized.
They do five things, and none of them is buying another tool. Leadership decides at the top. People are coached hands-on, on real work. Intent is made explicit in context, specs, standards and rules files. Review and verification are re-engineered for AI volume. Workflows are redesigned before the tools scale, with product management and QA inside them.
On tracked delivery work across cohorts from December 2025 to July 2026, covering 170+ engineers, teams measured 2x–4x software delivery acceleration after completing the coaching program. These are AI Sprints program measurements, not independent research, and they are reported separately from it.
With a 45-minute benchmarking and planning call. You leave with a baseline we can measure against, an ROI target set before any spend, and the shape of a first cohort — roles, format and dates. No preparation is needed beyond deciding who should be in the room.
