Description
Developers code 3x faster with AI. Yet 91% of organizations aren’t shipping 3x faster. The bottleneck has moved—and most teams are looking in the wrong place.
This session reveals what 121,000+ developers and 450+ companies have learned about AI’s true impact on software delivery. AI isn’t just accelerating coding—it’s exposing every constraint in your value stream. The data is clear: AI amplifies both excellence and dysfunction. High-performing teams see exponential gains. Struggling teams face amplified chaos.
You’ll discover how leading organizations are rethinking Agile for the AI era and the emerging practices that separate teams capturing AI’s full potential from those creating „localized pockets of productivity lost to downstream chaos.“ We’ll explore how the SDLC is fundamentally transforming with roles converging—product managers building prototypes, developers making architecture decisions with AI assistance, QA engineers joining design conversations earlier.
Through Amazon’s real-world implementation and the Theory of Constraints framework, you’ll learn why 10x outcomes require simultaneous transformation across three pillars: People, Technology, and Mindset. Walk away with a framework for reimagining your entire SDLC and the strategic insights to transform the systems that allow AI benefits to flow through your entire organization.
Target Audience:
CTOs, Heads of Engineering, Developers, Product Owners/Managers
Key Takeaways:
- Why individual AI productivity gains don’t translate to organizational velocity—and what to do about it
- Emerging practices that amplify positive impact and prevent instability
- How role convergence and new oversight patterns are reshaping team structures
- Practical strategies for transforming your value stream to capture 10x outcomes
