The thesis
Work through this case: "A VP of Engineering says: 'We already have a mature SDLC. Why would I add another tool that wants to change how we work?' Frame your one-paragraph response." Say what you would do and why.
Step 1 of 3
Cursor is not a parallel SDLC. It doesn't replace your pipeline, your CABChange Advisory Board. A group that reviews and signs off on higher-risk production changes before they ship. Press Enter for the full definition., your branch protections or your reviewers.
It helps a team execute the standards they already have: better context on each change, faster feedback before merge and autonomy that stays inside the guardrails.
The moment you tell a team to 'throw out their process,' they'll stop listening. Instead, say 'it will help you run your process better.'
Hold both halves at once, then lead with whichever one fits who's in the room. Get that read wrong and your strongest capability lands on the wrong person.

Produce earns the demo and a champion. Evidence survives security review and signs the contract. You need both, led by whichever half matches who is in the room.
