Ready to see how AI is reshaping software engineering? Our comprehensive report reveals the surprising reality behind AI adoption in development teams across the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Based on insights from 900 engineers and technical leaders, this study uncovers the AI Velocity Paradox – where faster coding creates unexpected bottlenecks that could derail your entire delivery pipeline.

While 63% of organizations report shipping code faster with AI, the real story is more nuanced. Organizations are racing ahead with AI-powered coding while their downstream processes lag dangerously behind, creating new risks that threaten to undermine the very speed gains they're pursuing.

What You'll Discover:

  • The AI adoption reality: Organizations now use 8-10 distinct AI tools on average, creating significant tool sprawl and governance challenges
  • The hidden velocity trap: How 45% of AI-generated code deployments lead to problems, and why only 41% of teams are confident their governance processes can prevent bugs from reaching production
  • The four quadrants of AI maturity: A framework showing where your organization sits and the clear path to becoming a "Velocity Leader" – achieving both speed and resilience

Download your copy now to discover how to escape the AI Velocity Paradox and unlock AI's true potential across your entire software delivery lifecycle.
