AI coding assistants moved fast. Agentic systems will move faster, exposing every gap in how engineering teams define work, verify behavior, and operate software. Low test coverage, weak observability, and missing failure-mode testing become compounding risks when autonomous agents are generating and executing code.
This session explores three critical shifts for AI-native software delivery:
• Spec-Driven Development — why specifications must become the authoritative source for both humans and agents, and how a version-controlled Spec Repository creates a shared foundation for delivery.
• Agent Architecture Principles — how to build agents that do one thing well, integrate through standard SDKs, and use effective verification loops without creating brittle, opaque systems.
• Operational Readiness, Shifted Left — how Operational Readiness Reviews (ORRs), risk-tiered action items, and weekly ops reviews improve reliability for agentic workloads.
You'll leave with a practical framework for Spec-Driven Development, actionable agent design guidelines, an ORR checklist template, and a testing strategy matrix for agentic systems.
