Turning software teams agentic; a leadership perspective

04 June Online

About this event

Adopting agentic development is not a tooling decision, it is an organizational one. Teams that layer AI tools onto existing workflows see modest gains. Teams that restructure how work is assigned, reviewed, and governed unlock a different order of throughput. Ajay discusses what the transition to agentic development looks like from a leadership perspective: how to assess readiness, where the real friction points are, and what it takes to move a software organization from Level 1 to Level 2 and beyond.

  • How to assess your team's current level of agentic maturity and identify the specific platform and process changes required to advance
  • What changes in how work is assigned and reviewed when agents generate pull requests in parallel rather than humans writing code line by line
  • The leadership decisions that determine whether an agentic development initiative compounds or stalls, and how to avoid the most common traps
