Discover the future of software development as we explore the transformative power of agents with Kiros spec-driven development in modernizing your entire software development lifecycle (SDLC). Agentic AI is impacting software development by automating tasks, improving efficiency, and enabling more autonomous workflows throughout the development lifecycle. It allows teams to go beyond simple code generation to handle project planning, designing, testing, documentation, building agents into workflows, and retiring technical debt. Join us to explore how these powerful capabilities work together to help organizations accelerate from prototype to production ready applications.
What this session is about
Playbook
Editorial commentary · what to actually do about this on Monday
The concept
Spec-driven development — you write specs; the agent builds code, tests, docs, infrastructure. Code generation got commoditised; spec quality is the differentiator.
Why it matters
If everyone has the same code-gen models, the engineering moat shifts to who can describe what they want most precisely.
The hard parts
Specs are hard to write well. Most engineers haven't been trained on it. The skill is closer to product management than to coding.
Playbook moves
(1) Treat spec authoring as a senior-engineer activity initially; pair juniors with seniors. (2) Version specs in the same repo as the code. Review them like code. (3) Build a library of "spec patterns" for common features.
The surprise
The team skill that matters most in spec-driven development is *product clarity*, not coding skill. Your PMs and tech leads become the bottleneck. Plan for that — invest in PM training on spec writing now, before the AI tooling forces the issue.
