Scrums.com Launches Software Factory for Businesses That Want AI Without Losing Control
London, 02/11/2026 – Scrums.com, the enterprise AI Software Engineering Orchestration Platform, has launched The Software Factory and its new Delivery Plans. Each plan is a monthly subscription that pairs senior engineers with AI agents to build, test, and ship software, while the business stays in charge of every decision.
Most business leaders want AI. Many are holding back for the same reason: they are worried about losing control. They want to know where their data goes, who is accountable when AI gets something wrong and what it is doing at any moment. In the UK and South Africa, those questions sit alongside GDPR and POPIA. When the answers aren't clear, the safe choice becomes doing very little.
"Every conversation we have about AI ends up in the same place," said Chase le Roux, Chief Revenue Officer at Scrums.com. "Business leaders want it, and they're nervous about handing over control. That's a fair worry. So we built the Software Factory the other way round. You stay in charge. AI does the work, inside the rules you set."
How the software factory works
Queue anything. AI, custom software, web, mobile, QA and DevOps requests all go onto one prioritised backlog.
Experts and agents build. Senior engineers scope and own each task. AI agents speed up the build, and QA and code-review agents check every pull request.
Ship and track. First code within 48 hours. Every request, agent run and release shows on one live delivery board.
"Every company now needs a software factory, but very few can build one," said Jamie Chennells, CIO and co-founder of Scrums.com. "Senior engineers direct the agents, review what they produce and stay accountable for every release."
The Scrums.com control promise
Every Delivery Plan runs on the Scrums.com Software Engineering Orchestration Platform and comes with four commitments:
Every AI agent has a boss. Each agent has its own identity, a named owner and a defined job. It sits on the same roster as the engineers it works with.
Your data stays where you put it. Agents only work inside the data boundaries the business sets. If one asks to go further, it stops and a named person decides.
Nothing goes live without a yes. A senior engineer approves every pull request before it merges. Releases go out in stages and can be rolled back.
You see everything. Every person, agent, action and cost sits in one workspace, with a weekly brief of outcomes and the decisions waiting for an owner.
Start small, then grow
One Delivery Plan covers one active workstream with unlimited backlog requests. Coding starts within 48 hours of onboarding, and the first agreed deliverable is built within 14 days or the first month is free. As confidence grows, businesses add workstreams. They can stop at any time with 30 days' notice.
"UK and South African businesses are careful, and they're right to be," said Gerald Neves, CEO of Scrums.com. "Nobody should have to bet the business on day one to get value from AI. We start small, prove it works and take our clients the rest of the way at a pace they're comfortable with."
Launch pricing
Delivery Plans start at $4,500 a month in the US (down from $8,000), £3,750 in the UK (down from £6,700) and R79,000 in South Africa (down from R140,000). That puts a software factory within reach for less than the cost of one mid-level engineer.
Built on 15 years of delivery experience
Scrums.com brings 15 years of delivery experience, teams across five global regions and a 94% client renewal rate across 400+ companies. Its agent harness gives every agent the context, tools, guardrails and evaluations it needs to do the job.
