AI Coding Tool Team Pilot Framework

AI Coding Tool Team Pilot Framework

Pilot objective

A team pilot should answer whether a configured tool improves selected development work without creating unacceptable data, security, quality, workflow, commercial, or exit risk.

Seat adoption is not the decision metric.

Charter

Vendor evidence boundary

Cursor's security, data-use, privacy, and Teams pages document the vendor's current statements. They do not prove how a particular organization's settings, repositories, networks, providers, identities, or retention operate.

The pilot must inspect the actual configured account and preserve review dates because product, plan, provider, and legal terms change.

Pilot method

Choose low-risk representative repositories. Establish a baseline. Configure minimum permissions and approved models. Train reviewers. Run a fixed task set. Record accepted and rejected changes, defects, test evidence, review effort, security events, spend, and developer experience.

Exercise an incident path and an offboarding path before expansion. Verify account removal, repository cleanup, data deletion requests, rule export, and recovery without the tool.

Decision

Stop, revise, or expand according to predefined thresholds. Expansion requires new approval when repositories, data classes, models, providers, permissions, or production authority change.
