Readiness check

How well-defined and repeatable is the work you want agents to deliver?

1 = novel and open-ended each time · 5 = clear, repeatable, workflow-shaped steps.

How clearly can a person judge whether a piece of the work is done right?

1 = mostly subjective · 5 = clear, checkable acceptance criteria.

How clear and agreed is the business outcome this initiative must deliver?

1 = vague · 5 = specific, measurable, and owned by a sponsor.

How realistic are expectations about what AI agents will achieve here?

1 = hype-driven · 5 = grounded in evidence.

How ready is your way of working to handle output produced faster than people can review it?

1 = no roles or gates · 5 = roles, gates, and review capacity planned.

How defined are the roles and accountabilities for agent-driven work?

1 = unclear · 5 = clear ownership end to end.

How well are quality gates and human sign-off built into the delivery flow?

1 = none · 5 = defined gates with a human decision before work ships.

How clearly is accountability for agent decisions assigned to named people?

1 = diffuse · 5 = explicit, and never delegated to the agent.

How ready are your delivery people to work with and supervise agents?

1 = not ready · 5 = skilled and bought in.

How well is adoption owned — communication, training, and addressing concerns?

1 = no one owns it · 5 = a clear owner and plan.

How accessible, consistent, and current is the knowledge and data agents will rely on?

1 = scattered or stale · 5 = curated and current.

How ready is your technical environment — access, repositories, security, tooling?

1 = not ready · 5 = ready and secured.

Is there a competent person who can validate the agents' output, and is the work not purely open-ended exploration?

This is a hard gate. Without a validator, or for purely open-ended work, agent-driven delivery is not yet the right path.

Is the knowledge and data agents need accessible, reasonably consistent, and current enough to work from?

This is a hard gate. A weak context foundation caps readiness until it is addressed.
