Prompt Hard, Ship Often: Modern Delivery in the Age of Agents

AI is rapidly changing the way software gets built, but the biggest shift isn't coding assistants—it's the rise of agentic workflows that help teams move from idea to production faster than ever before.

In this session, we'll explore what the Agentic Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) looks like in practice and how modern engineering teams are incorporating AI agents into planning, development, testing, documentation, operations, and product delivery. Rather than focusing on flashy demos, we'll discuss real-world patterns, lessons learned, and practical approaches that teams are using today to increase productivity without sacrificing quality.

We'll examine how developers are evolving from writing every line of code themselves to orchestrating teams of specialized AI agents, where these approaches deliver the most value, and where human expertise remains essential. Along the way, we'll separate hype from reality and discuss the organizational, technical, and cultural shifts required to make agentic engineering successful.
Whether you're already experimenting with GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, AI agents, or just trying to understand what's next for software engineering, you'll leave with practical ideas you can start applying immediately.

The Nashville .NET User Group meets every second Thursday of the month.
