00Leadership Nomad presents Agentic Practices

You bought the AI tools.
That was the easy part.

Buying the licences was the easy part. The real shift is a disciplined, daily way of working with AI that your team actually owns. Agentic Practices turns scattered experiments into that capability.

The AI-Augmented Engineering Masterclass for software teams, with Stephan Swart.

01Why it works

Capability your team keeps after the programme ends.

01

Disciplined workflow

Context engineering and a repeatable workflow. How your team works with AI matters far more than how clever any single prompt is.

02

In your real work

Spaced, deliberate practice on your team's actual codebase and real stories, so the habit outlasts the last session.

03

Cross-functional

Product, dev, QA and design all learn one shared way of working that spreads across the whole team.

04

Built-in champions

Senior engineers become coaches; the need for an external trainer fades by design.

02Who it's for

For serious teams who care about engineering craft.

This is for you if…
  • →You lead a software team that already has the AI tools and now wants a disciplined, daily, team-owned way of working with them.
  • →You want adoption you can prove in your delivery numbers, so it's demonstrably true in practice.
  • →You can protect a few hours a week for spaced, deliberate practice on real work.
This is not for you if…
  • ×You want a one-hour “prompting tips” webinar. This changes how a team works, over multiple sessions.
  • ×You want the cheapest option. I compete on outcomes that last, and that's rarely the cheapest line item.
  • ×You want a passive, watch-the-videos course. Every session applies to your own codebase.
03The Programme

Five phases, from set-up to a capability you can prove.

Remote and recorded · cohorts of 15 on staggered schedules · kick-off to capstone.

01
Phase 01

Prerequisites

Tools installed, readiness diagnosed before any live time is spent.

Walk away with: everyone set up; weak spots identified early

02
Phase 02

Kick-off

Inspiration showcase, fundamentals, and UX discipline. Teams formed and briefed.

Walk away with: cross-role teams of 3–5, a working agreement, a first project idea

03
Phase 03

Foundation courses

Short self-paced courses (Claude Code 101 / in Action) across all roles.

Walk away with: confirmed baseline competency

04
Phase 04

Agentic Engineering Master Class

8 × 2-hour sessions: requirement → PRD → executable specs → architecture → standards → TDD → review → operating model.

Walk away with: a working requirement-to-tested-code pipeline in their codebase

05
Phase 05

Capstone Hackathon

~24 hours of focused build on a real, approved project, running the full workflow end-to-end.

Walk away with: demonstrable proof the team can run the whole workflow independently

07Questions

Answering the skeptic, out loud.

No. It's context engineering and disciplined workflow, the craft of giving AI the right context and a repeatable process, all embedded in your team's real codebase. Clever prompts come and go. What changes how a team ships is a shared, daily way of working, and that's what we build.
The programme builds internal champions by design. Senior engineers become coaches, conventions are written down and owned by the team, and the need for an external trainer fades by the capstone.
More output per engineer, with the delivery metrics to back it. Across 5+ years embedding AI-augmented delivery in real customer work: 75% shorter delivery cycles, ~400% more frequent deployments, and onboarding cut from three months to under three weeks.
It's a plain-English capability: turning requirements into tested, reviewed, standards-bound code with agentic tools. Every session runs in your own codebase, so you can judge it on real, working outcomes.
08Book a scoping call

Bring AI into how your team actually ships.

A 15-minute call to see whether Agentic Practices fits your team. There's no obligation, and I'll tell you plainly whether a single-team cohort or a bespoke engagement is the right line for you.

  • → I review your current AI-coding maturity
  • → I map the five phases to your stack
  • → You get an honest “is this for you” answer
15-min call, no obligation. I'll never share your email.
