Shift to Agentic Software Engineering
AI is redefining how engineering organizations operate, shifting from traditional development to agentic development, where intelligent, context-aware agents partner with teams to drive measurable business outcomes. This presentation gives leaders a clear framework for understanding how agentic development improves cycle time, reduces operational risk, enhances quality, and scales organizational capacity without adding headcount. We will examine how to move beyond pilots, achieve meaningful adoption, embed governance and security controls, and connect engineering effort directly to enterprise KPIs. Leaders will leave with a strategic roadmap for guiding their organizations through this transformation with clarity, confidence, and control.
