Checklist for Successful Adoption of Agentic AI in the SDLC
Engineering leaders need clear, end-to-end guidelines for adopting, scaling, and governing agentic AI as they transition to an agentic SDLC.
Introduction
Teams that adopt agentic AI without transforming the foundations of their SDLC risk compounding development friction and introducing greater cost and operational complexity.
This report examines six key pillars to guide software engineering leaders in their agentic AI adoption:
- Defining strategy and value.
- Selecting AI agents and scaling via platforms.
- Setting up context engineering.
- Configuring the AI agent harness.
- Adapting roles and workflows.
- Managing cost, governance, and risk.
Read the report and get on the path to a smoother transition to an agentic SDLC.
