Software development is currently experiencing its most profound transformation in history. For over two decades, organizations have relied on traditional methodologies to accelerate delivery cycles and better align with business needs.
While these approaches have represented a critical turning point, they remain largely constrained by:
The emergence of generative AI has fundamentally changed this landscape. It is now possible to automatically transform business requirements into code, tests, documentation, user interfaces, and even post-delivery monitoring, without relying on traditional rigid practices.
D-POAF® - The Decentralized Prompt-Oriented Automated Framework - was created specifically to address this challenge.
D-POAF® is not a simple evolution of existing methodologies, it is a fundamental paradigm shift.
Our vision:
Create a living software ecosystem where artificial intelligence and humans collaborate fairly, transparently, and securely, guided by business value and collective governance.
Our ambition:
D-POAF® is designed for teams and organizations that want to:
✅ Fully leverage AI’s power in software development
✅ Accelerate delivery while reducing errors and strengthening security
✅ Establish truly decentralized governance without hierarchical constraints
✅ Operate in highly regulated industries (finance, healthcare, cybersecurity) where proof of integrity is mandatory
✅ Adopt an eco-responsible approach by reducing technical debt and waste
Target profiles:
D-POAF® — Decentralized Prompt-Oriented Automated Framework is the result of a bold and collective ambition born from the combined expertise of two specialists in software engineering, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.
Research Engineer in Computer Science, Cybersecurity Specialist
With nearly ten years of experience in computer science research and solid expertise in cybersecurity, Azzeddine has contributed to organizations of all sizes, from SMEs to multinationals, participating in the creation and protection of complex systems.
His expertise includes:
Throughout his career, Azzeddine has dedicated himself to transforming software development practices by combining artificial intelligence, security, decentralized governance, and organizational innovation. After years of research and experimentation, he developed D-POAF®: a next-generation framework, both AI-Native and Secure-by-Design, created to fundamentally and sustainably transform the way software is designed, deployed, and managed.
Research Engineer in Software Engineering, Specialist in Governance, Strategy, and Audit
With approximately ten years of professional experience, Sara cultivates a deep interest in organizational governance, business strategy, and systems and process auditing. She possesses significant expertise in designing robust software architectures, managing and governing complex projects, modernizing systems, and creating innovative organizational structures.
Her career spans multiple contexts: startups, SMEs, and multinationals, where she has contributed to major digital transformation initiatives, strategic and technical audits, corporate visions, and large-scale modernization processes.
Sara’s applied research has played a central role in defining the strategic vision, decentralized governance, and intelligent audit approach that characterize D-POAF® today. She actively contributed to developing a unique framework promoting horizontal collaboration, collective decision-making, and AI-assisted strategies, ensuring modern, verifiable, and secure software development.
The purpose of D-POAF® is to accomplish the following objectives:
D-POAF® (Decentralized Prompt Oriented Automated Framework) is a next-generation software development framework specifically designed for the artificial intelligence era.
Entirely oriented toward Proof and Delivery, its objective is to dynamically transform business requirements into executable deliverables such as source code, test suites, documentation, and user interfaces.
D-POAF® operates on a dynamic, decentralized, multi-project infrastructure (WaveRegister®) that provides verifiable cryptographic proofs at each step of the process. This guarantees complete traceability, authenticity, and integrity of every delivery.
One of its fundamental characteristics is establishing an end-to-end connection throughout the entire software chain, seamlessly linking the organizational dimension (governance, decisions, dynamic laws) with the operational dimension (production, deployment, execution) for maximum coherence and transparency.
The framework also enables evolving decentralized governance, where decisions are made collaboratively according to Dynamic Laws® that are voted on and immutably recorded in project registers. Projects use horizontal and collaborative structures to support collective intelligence and transparent processes, avoiding hierarchical decision-making.
Through its foundations and innovations, D-POAF® introduces an AI-Native, living, and self-evolving model that guarantees rapid, secure, and verifiable deliveries. It ensures continuous alignment with business value, provable integrity, and explicit connection across all levels of the software chain, from organizational design to operational implementation.
To clarify D-POAF®’s unique positioning, it’s important to specify what it is not:
❌ D-POAF® is NOT Scrum with AI
❌ D-POAF® is NOT just a DevOps tool
❌ D-POAF® is NOT a traditional agile methodology
❌ D-POAF® is NOT a generic project management framework
❌ D-POAF® is NOT simply a prompt layer on an existing process

When to choose D-POAF® over Scrum/SAFe/Kanban?
✅ Choose D-POAF® if:
💡 Important note: D-POAF® can coexist with Scrum/Kanban during a transition phase.
D-POAF® is based on 9 fundamental principles that define its identity and philosophy:
Principle: Software development is orchestrated by intelligent prompts and executed by advanced AI systems (LLMs and specialized agents). This enables complete automation of production and quality control tasks.
In practice:
Impact:
Principle: Every requirement, prompt, deliverable, feedback, or governance rule is instantly hashed and recorded in a dynamic multi-project blockchain called WaveRegister®.
In practice:
Impact:
Principle: No actor or role holds exclusive authority. Governance rules, called Dynamic Laws®, are proposed, debated, collectively voted on, and immutably recorded in the blockchain.
In practice:
Impact:
Principle: D-POAF® eliminates rigid hierarchies in favor of a flat structure where each member has an equal voice in decision-making.
In practice:
Impact:
Principle: Each project operates within a Workhub®, a secure intelligent core that centralizes business requirements, prompts, deliverables, integrity proofs, continuous delivery, monitoring, feedback, and audit mechanisms.
In practice:
Impact:
Principle: D-POAF® ensures comprehensive traceability and explicit linkage throughout the software chain, connecting the strategic organizational layer to the operational technical layer.
In practice:
Impact:
Principle: The framework integrates formal mechanisms to guarantee ethical use, preserve data sovereignty, and ensure scalability at legal, methodological, and technical levels.
In practice:
Impact:
Principle: D-POAF® systematically capitalizes project knowledge through patterns, models, and templates created from previous work.
In practice:
Impact:
Principle: D-POAF® promotes a sustainable software development philosophy through three guiding strategies:
In practice:
Impact:
“D-POAF® is based on the hypothesis that an AI-Native software development ecosystem with complete automation can become living and self-evolving. Every deliverable is generated and executed with verifiable proofs, blockchain guarantees security, integrity, and control, governance is decentralized, adaptive, and evidence-based, organization is collaborative and horizontal, and the entire software chain is transparent and traceable end-to-end. In parallel, it integrates ethics, data sovereignty, systematic knowledge generalization through patterns and templates, continuous improvement, and an ecological vision that reduces technical debt, optimizes resource usage, and prevents delays, all established as founding principles.”
