Quantum Agile™ By Codewave Becomes India’s first framework for software teams working with AI agents.

Bangalore, India | San Francisco, USA — Codewave, an award-winning AI transformation company from India, today announced it has trademarked Quantum Agile™, a groundbreaking framework that reimagines Agile software development for teams working alongside AI agents.

The End of Sequential Work

For two decades, Agile and Scrum have been the gold standard for software teams. But these frameworks were designed for a world where human bandwidth was the constraint—one person, one team, one sprint at a time, one path at a time.

AI agents have removed that constraint.

“With AI, teams can now explore ten solution paths simultaneously where they once explored one,” said Abhijith, Founder and CEO of Codewave. “But this creates a new challenge: How do you organize work when simultaneity is possible? Traditional frameworks assume sequential work. We needed something new.”

Quantum Agile™: Simultaneous, Not Sequential

Quantum Agile™ is built on four core values:

• Why over What — Human intuition drives direction; AI explores possibilities
• Impact over Effort — Measure value created, not tasks completed
• Simultaneity over Sequence — Explore multiple paths at once, not one at a time
• Compounding Loops over Linear Lines — Continuous loops that build value, not episodic sprints

The framework introduces three overlapping fields—SENSE, BUILD, REALIZE—that operate simultaneously, creating an infinity loop where each cycle compounds learning and value.

From ZeroDX to Quantum Agile™

Codewave’s journey to creating Quantum Agile™ began 13 years ago when the company pioneered a bossless, titleless, autonomous culture—making it the first IT company from India to win the global ZeroDX award for culture (Zero Distance to Customers).

“We’ve been experimenting with autonomous, cross-functional teams for years,” explained Vidhya Abhijith, Cofounder, Codewave. “When AI agents joined our teams, we realized traditional Agile ceremonies no longer fit. So we built something new.”

From Practice, Not Theory

Unlike frameworks developed in isolation, Quantum Agile™ emerged from real-world practice at Codewave, which is the only software company from India to win the prestigious ZeroDX award for building India’s first bossless, titleless, autonomous tech culture.

“We’re building multiple previews of the future, in our need sensing calls with clients, and are collapsing weeks into hours, and staying grounded in empathy while moving at AI speed.” said Abhijith.

Early results include:

• Solution variants explored simultaneously: 5-10 vs 1-2
• Intention to shipped outcome: hours instead of weeks
• Deployment frequency: 2-5x per cycle vs 1x per sprint

Open-Source Philosophy, Protected Brand

While the Quantum Agile™ name is trademarked, the framework itself will be open-sourced and co-created with the global community.

“We’re taking inspiration from the Agile Manifesto,” Abhijith explained. “The principles are free and collaborative. But the brand is protected to maintain quality and prevent misuse.”

Codewave is inviting practitioners from organizations including the Scrum Alliance, Project Management Institute (PMI), Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), and the broader Agile community to help shape the framework.

• Framework name: Quantum Agile™ (trademarked)
• Creator: Codewave, Bangalore, India
• Based on: 13+ years autonomous team practice + 6 months AI-native iteration
• Core innovation: Simultaneity over sequence (AI enables parallel exploration)
• Target audience: Software development teams, product teams, business and engineering leaders
• Availability: Open-source framework, protected brand name
• Launch date: Feb 16, 2026

What Makes It Different

Unlike traditional Agile:

• AI agents as team members, not just tools. Human judgment + AI execution replaces human-only work, guiding estimations.
• Sequential thinking, replaced by simultaneity and loops. Continuous shipping and testing multiple possible futures, replaces fixed sprint boundaries testing one possible future.
• Five new rituals replace sprint ceremonies (ALIGN, SYNC, SHIP, TEST, EVOLVE).
• Outcome realization over task completion.

Why Now

We see that every software team will face this question in the next 2-3 years:
How do we work when AI removes the sequential constraint?

“Some will cling to old frameworks,” said Abhijith. “Some will move to AI chaos. A few will discover new patterns that blend human wisdom with AI capability. We’re building Quantum Agile™ for those few.”

On the core insight:
“AI agents have removed the constraint of sequential work. But traditional frameworks still assume one path at a time. Quantum Agile™ is built for simultaneity.” — Abhijith, CEO, Codewave

On the philosophy:
“AI doesn’t make the future faster. It brings the future to the present. Our teams don’t wait weeks to see results—we explore multiple paths simultaneously and ship the best one today.” — Vidhya Abhijith, Cofounder, Codewave

About Codewave

Codewave is a design-led AI transformation company based in Bangalore, India. The company is the only pioneer from India’s IT industry to win the global ZeroDX award for scaling a bossless, titleless, autonomous culture of zero distance to customers, employee-as-entrepreneurs, and agile, cross-functional, self-managing teams. Codewave helps organizations tap into 10x growth potential with “AI as a force multiplier” for various aspects of the business, such as sales, customer experience, systems and processes, employee productivity and others.

On open-source approach:
“We’re not building this in isolation. The Agile Manifesto brought together multiple thought leaders. We want to do the same for the AI age.” — Vidhya Abhijith, Cofounder, Codewave

On impact:
“We’re collapsing weeks into hours. Not by working harder, but by working simultaneously. That’s the quantum shift.” — Abhijith, CEO, Codewave

About Quantum Agile™

Quantum Agile™ is a framework for software development teams working with AI agents. It replaces sequential, episodic work patterns with simultaneous, continuous loops that compound value. The framework includes 10 core principles, 5 team rituals, and an infinity loop process model across three simultaneously active fields: SENSE, BUILD, REALIZE.

Availability

The Quantum Agile™ manifesto, principles, and framework documentation are available at https://quantumagile.org starting Feb 16, 2026. Codewave will begin offering Quantum Agile™ transformation consulting and training programs in Q2 2026

BACKGROUNDER: THE QUANTUM SHIFT

The Old Constraint: Human bandwidth limited teams to sequential work
The New Reality: AI agents enable simultaneous exploration
The Problem: Traditional frameworks weren’t designed for simultaneity
The Solution: Quantum Agile™ — a framework for parallel, continuous, outcome-driven work

Key Differences:

Traditional Agile	Quantum Agile™
Plan one path forward	Initiate multiple threads simultaneously
Backlog = tasks	Backlog = outcomes
AI used as side tool	AI as active team members
Daily standup tracks tasks	Daily sync tracks progress on outcomes
Fixed roles	Fluid roles based on need
Work moves step-by-step	Work moves in parallel streams
Sprint goal = finish stories	Sprint goal = achieve outcomes
Knowledge stays in people	Knowledge grows continuously with AI
