Anthropic published a guide for enterprises on organizing AI-driven code modernization projects. The guide covers six steps: defining the target state, creating acceptance criteria, setting a promotion policy, preparing prerequisites, building an agentic workflow using Claude Code, and running the modernization. It addresses how organizations must adapt their change management and review processes when AI agents accelerate code production.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://claude.com/blog/how-to-prepare-for-ai-driven-code-modernization-projects:

> Code modernizations once scoped as multi-year, all-hands efforts can now finish in months (or weeks), but the organizational work on either side often remains the same. Once agents accelerate writing the changes, the bottleneck shifts from producing changes to mobilizing the organization around them.
