Drift Guard: Cubyts AI Solution for Fail-proofing SDLC)

Drift Guard is one of the solutions offered by the Cubyts AI platform; the primary objective of this solution is to prevent costly drifts between intent and execution—whether in requirements, coding standards, or processes.

With Cubyts AI, teams can deliver reliably and bring products to market 20–40% faster.

Value of Intent - Execution SDLC Drifts 

Cubyts AI seamlessly pulls data from your toolchain to deliver insights on delivery, team dynamics, and proactive/retrospective analysis of SDLC artefacts. Please find a quick glance of the Drift guard value proposition:

1. Delivery insights at your fingertips
   SDLC performance reports, Compliance reports and Team performance reports offering a complete view of SDLC.

2. Scope alignment
   Automatic creation of work items and detection of misalignments between SOW/PRD and work items.

3. Raise Quality of input documents

Catch requirements, design and build plan quality drifts based on well defined enterprise benchmarks.

(Quality of requirements/user stories)

(Quality of build plans)

(Quality of design files based on design systems)

4. Stay Synced with the codebase evolution

Detect drifts in the code against underlying specs, dependencies  or enterprise coding standards, and automatically update documentation*  based on the actual code.

(Quality of code in VS Code)

(Evidence in Jira/ADO)

5. Assure Compliance

Spot gaps in execution standards,and associated processes automatically e.g. Automated effort estimation, Likely timeline extension of build work items, aging customer tickets in support tickets categorized and created in the product backlog for team’s attention, etc.

(Automated effort estimation)

(Autonomous build work item monitoring)

Types of SDLC Drifts

The different types of SDLC drifts supported by Cubyts AI to generate the aforementioned value are listed below:

1. Process drift: Deviation from established processes causing Missed deadlines, Wasted effort, and Reduced team efficiency.

2. Technology drift: Technology and code quality drifts resulting in Increased debugging time, Delayed delivery, and Higher technical debt.

3. Compliance drift: Missed adherence to infosec, regulatory standards resulting in audit risks.

4. Feature drift: Deviation from PRDs, User stories, Feedback resulting in Unplanned work, Delayed launches & Unrealized customer expectations.

Conclusion

Use Cubyts AI as your silent AI assistant to review and fix process, feature, code and compliance/regulatory drifts. Enjoy reduced tech-debt, faster delivery, higher productivity, and stronger alignment with business goals.
