AI to ROI Series: Embedding AI into the SDLC

Shaping Software Development in the AI Era

Developers are increasingly using AI code assistants to accelerate software development and improve productivity. As AI becomes embedded across requirements, design, coding, testing, and release processes, enterprises face the challenge of coordinating tools, code, and teams while maintaining governance, security, and code quality.

The conversation will be guided by experienced leaders from AWS, MagMutual, EverCommerce, Appian and Xebia, who will share practical perspectives on how organizations can accelerate development and deliver higher-quality software while establishing effective governance and risk controls at scale.
