SpecWeave for Enterprise
SpecWeave is built for the reality of enterprise development: legacy codebases, distributed teams, compliance requirements, and complex release cycles.
Why Enterprise Teams Choose SpecWeave
Compliance-Ready Audit Trails
Every decision is tracked in version-controlled spec files. When auditors ask "why was this built this way?" — you point them to spec.md and plan.md in your git history.
- SOC 2, HIPAA, FDA audit-ready — full decision trail in git
- Approval workflows via spec reviews before implementation
- Change tracking at the task level — who did what, when, why
- Living documentation updates automatically — no manual sync
Brownfield Excellence
90%+ of enterprise work is brownfield. SpecWeave excels here:
- Automated analysis — scan existing codebases, get effort estimates
- Strangler Fig pattern — incremental migration without big-bang rewrites
- Knowledge preservation — specs capture existing behavior before changes
- Risk mitigation — small increments with quality gates at every step
Multi-Repo Coordination
Enterprise projects span multiple repositories. SpecWeave coordinates across all of them:
- Specs reference cross-repo dependencies
- Agent teams work across repos without conflicts
- Progress syncs to the correct GitHub/JIRA project per repo
- Umbrella repo support for monorepo and polyrepo architectures
Bidirectional External Sync
SpecWeave syncs with the tools your teams already use:
| Platform | What Syncs | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| GitHub | Issues, PRs, milestones, labels | Bidirectional |
| JIRA | Epics, stories, status, sprint tracking | Bidirectional |
| Azure DevOps | Work items, area paths, iterations | Bidirectional |
Local-first architecture — works offline, syncs when ready. No vendor lock-in.
