Cursor Leadership Briefing

Cursor pricing is genuinely confusing. Pro at $20 per user works fine for individuals. Teams at $40 per user adds shared config and centralised billing. Max at $200 per user unlocks Background Agents and priority access. Enterprise is custom. The wrong tier choice at the wrong team size is the most common reason a Cursor pilot stalls financially before it stalls technically. This briefing exists to make that decision well, alongside the measurement and governance choices that come with it.

Course objectives

A measurement model that separates AI-attributed output from throughput.
A funding decision: Pro, Teams, Max, or Enterprise, and what triggers an upgrade.
A governance baseline: mandatory, recommended, restricted.
A 90-day rollout calendar with named owners and a kill switch.
A one-page brief the leader can forward to their executive on Friday.

Target audience

Engineering managers, heads of engineering, CTOs, VPs of engineering, platform leads.

Prerequisites

No prior knowledge is required to attend this course.

Session 1.
What the data says. Cursor 3 at half the Fortune 500. Bugbot at 78% resolution. Composer 2 latency. The credit pricing reality (heavy users at $100 to $300 per month effective cost). Round-table on team's current state.

Session 2.
Measurement. DORA plus AI-attribution metrics. Cursor-specific signals: average tokens per PR, Background Agent demo completion rate, Bugbot resolution rate inside the team's repos. Exercise: leader defines their own three numbers.

Session 3.
Funding and governance. Pro vs Teams vs Max vs Enterprise. SSO, audit, Team Marketplaces, centralised configuration. Three-column governance sheet (mandatory: secrets-blocking, .cursorrules present, review gate; recommended: personal MCP servers in sandboxes; restricted: auto-merge on Background Agent PRs, MAX mode without budget review). Exercise: leader drafts their own sheet.

Session 4.
The 90-day plan. Three phases. Named owners. Success criteria. Kill switch in writing. Plan reviewed by the room.
