Claude Code and Codex: a practical adoption plan for teams
Hydamedia | Team planning worksheet

For: Engineering leads and teams adopting AI-assisted development

Give an AI coding tool a bounded task, approved context and a review process. Your team still owns the change.

1. Begin with one approved environment
- Use synthetic or approved examples during training.
- Keep credentials out of prompts and tracked files.
- Give the tool only the access the exercise needs.
Your notes:


2. Give context that makes the task reviewable
Your notes:


3. Review the evidence, not the confidence
- Inspect auth, data access and side effects separately.
- Check tests against the behavior the user needs.
- Keep release decisions with the authorised team owner.
Your notes:


4. Teach a repeatable working rhythm
Your notes:


Try this with your team
Pair a builder with a reviewer. Give them one bounded change and a failure case. The reviewer should be able to explain why the result is safe to release without relying on the agent’s summary.

The output to aim for
A team agreement on repository context, permissions, checks and who reviews each change.

A decision to make
Which repository task should your team practise first?
